In Keeping resident wellness initiatives engaging, relevant and personalized can be a challenge. At FMRWM we were seeking something that would enhance each resident’s personal well-being. Joy in Family Medicine coaching with Dr. Caylor was exactly the answer we were looking for! Our residents have been able to engage in confidential, personalized coaching that is tailored to their needs. An R3 stated “it was the single most helpful hour of my residency.” Another resident learned real time strategies to completing their notes during the clinic which transformed their day-to-day practice and provided hope for a sustainable career. Our residents have found Dr. Caylor’s coaching extremely beneficial and relatable to their struggles as physicians. We look forward to continuing to offer this as part of our core wellness curriculum for the coming years!

Dr Caylor's coaching program was excellent for our residents and faculty. I appreciated her kind, intuitive, skilled style in guiding the conversation and talking about difficult topics with colleagues around in a skillful and nonjudgmental manner. Residents provided similarly good feedback, and reported improvement in their well-being and appreciated gaining these skills during their training. I only wish I had gotten this coaching during training! What a great program."

Speaks from a place of intimate knowledge of what our lives are like while having this other training in areas that we really need.

Pleasant to listen to - well-prepped, knows her subject well and the reality of FM.

Its excellent and essential input for developing faculty

Loved this aspect (coaching in the faculty development program), the highest yield component for me.

I found it really valuable and would love more sessions! Her talks were also wonderful and inspiring.

Would have enjoyed more 1:1 sessions. She is such a wealth of knowledge. Really enjoyed that experience!

Residency is rough. It felt good to have someone outside of the program to talk about my struggles...Tonya helped me feel more at ease in my own skin. (Coaching) also helped improve my quality of life... even in relationships outside of residency.

Loved and learned some excellent residency stress mitigation strategies. Well worth the investment in resident wellness.

(Tonya) was an active listener with open access in case we had questions outside of the session. It was most useful...thinking about how to go through residency from a mental and emotional standpoint.

Working with Dr. Caylor as my coach has alleviated years of feelings of burnout. Dr Caylor brings an intimate knowledge of residency training to her coaching sessions that galvanizes her compassionate, creative coaching style. The one-one-one coaching paired with the online learning modules make the coaching principles stick. I highly recommend coaching with Dr. Caylor to anyone in medicine, but especially those in training or just starting out."

Discussing topics in medicine and life with someone who understands what it's like to go through FM residency was the most useful. Tonya is fantastic at framing concepts and diving in deeper to help operationalize things that we struggle with on a day-to-day basis.

I like the list of tips/tricks at the end to help with productivity.
