Abstract
Purpose of review: The review provides a comprehensive analysis of coaching within residency training programs, with a focus on examining foundational theoretical frameworks, exploring implementation strategies, and evaluating the impacts on learner competencies and overall well-being. The analysis aims to bridge gaps in the current lack of anesthesiology coaching literature and provide evidence-based insights to optimize the role of coaching in medical education and professional development.
Recent findings: Coaching programs emphasize learner-centered education and the facilitation of professional growth. This review examines various coaching models, including communication-focused coaching, near-peer coaching, and the PRACTICE framework. The successful implantation of these models requires tailoring to the learner group to mitigate challenges and optimize acquisition of competencies, such as enhanced technical proficiency and communication skills. Evidence from coaching programs in nonanesthesiology specialties highlights their adaptability and potential applicability to the training of anesthesiology residents.
Summary: Coaching programs in medical education show promise for adaption to anesthesiology, addressing its unique demands. Tailored approaches can improve technical skills, communication, and resident well-being. Embedding coaching within competency-based frameworks, tied to milestones and entrustable professional activities supports professional development and educational goals. Successful implantation depends on faculty training, interdepartmental collaboration, and ongoing evaluation, ensuring that coaching programs enhance resident performance and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
