Abstract
Christine J Orr,1 Ranil R Sonnadara21Discipline of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; 2Department of Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, CanadaAbstract: As curricula move from a time-based system to a competency-based medical education system, faculty development will be required. Faculty will be asked to engage in the observation, assessment and feedback of tasks in the form of educational coaching. Faculty development in coaching is necessary, as the processes and tools for coaching learners toward competence are evolving with a novel assessment system. Here, we provide a scoping review of coaching in medical education. Techniques and content that could be included in the curricular design of faculty development programming for coaching (faculty as coach) are discussed based on current educational theory. A novel model of coaching for faculty (faculty as coachee) has been developed and is described by the authors. Its use is proposed for continuing professional development.Keywords: faculty development, coaching, competence based medical education, coaching medical education, faculty coaching
