Talk About Individual Coaching

The Educational Impact of Coaching

Early in building this residency coaching program, I piloted a combined content + coaching approach to assess real-world impact. The findings, drawn from residents and recent grads, show clear reductions in burnout & improved quality of life.

Results reflect individual residents and early-career physicians who completed a 6-week 1:1 coaching pilot with protected time. Outcomes were measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and a linear QOL scale (pre/post).

Robert Gobbo, MD - Program Director, Hood River Family Medicine Training Program

Our rural residency program has been privileged to learn from Dr Tonya Caylor! For the past three years, she has not only provided faculty development sessions on helping residents struggling with performance challenges in areas such as professionalism, efficiency, and finding meaning in their careers, but she has also provided one-on-one consultations and coaching to faculty and residents. Dr. Caylor is wise, professional, and creative, and her approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and compassionate. We look forward to working together with her for many years!

Hannah B, MD - Fellow

My well-being index score has never been higher since completing my coaching sessions with Dr. Caylor! I have been taking the well-being index for six years, through medical school and residency, and always scored low to extremely low for quality of life and sense of meaning in my work. After completing coaching, my score increased by more than 50% showing improvements in quality of life and sense of meaning as well as reduced risk of medical error and likelihood of burnout.

Why Coaching in Medicine Matters

Frank deGruy, my mentor and long-time leader in academic family medicine, shared this when I asked his thoughts on integrating coaching into GME.

I use a professional coach regularly, and it improves my leadership and decision-making every month. I grew up as a competitive diver, and every diver has a coach. For that matter, every competitive athlete and team, even the best, have coaches. I could not imagine that my professional work, which is infinitely more complex and consequential, would not benefit from expert, professional scrutiny and feedback. It has. In my opinion, professional coaching is the most effective form of continuing education. A professional coach can help you see your blind spots; can help you clarify your decision making process; can help you build more constructive and therapeutic relationships with patients and colleagues. Engaging a professional coach has been the best professional investment of my career.
