This study addresses coaching for graduate medical education (GME) trainees, highlighting differences from undergraduate medical education (UME). It offers a framework for implementing effective residency coaching programs tailored to specific needs.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Graduate Medical Education
- Competency-Based Medical Education
Background:
- Coaching is vital for competency-based medical education, offering individualized instruction.
- Current coaching recommendations primarily focus on undergraduate medical education (UME).
- Graduate medical education (GME) trainees face distinct learning environments, assessments, and resource limitations compared to UME.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the specific needs of coaching in graduate medical education (GME).
- To provide practical considerations for designing and implementing residency coaching programs.
- To offer a framework for tailoring coaching programs to trainee, program, and institution-specific requirements.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and synthesis of existing coaching models in medical education.
- Analysis of differences between UME and GME learning contexts.
- Development of a practical framework for GME coaching program implementation.
Main Results:
- Few studies specifically detail coaching for GME trainees.
- Key differences exist in learning environments, resources, and time for GME versus UME.
- Consideration of trainee, residency program, and faculty coach characteristics is crucial.
Conclusions:
- Coaching approaches must be adapted for the unique GME context.
- A structured framework is needed to guide the development of effective GME coaching programs.
- Implementing tailored coaching programs can enhance resident training and competency development.
