AI education is crucial to its appropriate use in healthcare; however, most US medical schools lack a dedicated AI curriculum. These resources are sparse for international medical graduates (IMGs).

Nadarajah,&nbsp;Yvonne Steinert","doi":"10.1111/tct.70051","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/tct.70051","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Despite a significant expansion in faculty development programmes for health professional educators [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;], not all teachers have received education about teaching. Many teachers have, instead, learnt solely through teaching, with their educational practice being shaped by their prior experiences as both learners and as teachers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Evaluating one's performance as an educator, with a view to improving one's teaching, is also challenging. Firstly, the shortcomings of self-assessment are widely recognised and may be compounded by receiving incomplete feedback on one's actions [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. Although seeking feedback from students is commonplace, there are limitations with this approach too. ‘Survey fatigue’ amongst students is recognised, and the consequences of this may be poor response rate [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;], inaccurate evaluations [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;] and responder bias, resulting in polarised opinions [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;]. Issues may also arise with how practicable such feedback is. There is often a significant lag between the actual teaching moment and receiving feedback, meaning that the recollection of events may be limited. Furthermore, student feedback is invariably more student-centric and not educator-focussed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peer coaching has been defined as ‘a collegial process whereby two faculty members voluntarily work together to improve or expand their approaches to teaching’ [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. The term ‘peer’ captures a broad remit, with Gosling [&lt;span&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;] defining peers as ‘colleagues from the same department, either of a similar status or (with) differentials of status, or … from another department’. A coach may be defined as ‘an experienced person who supports a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance, with a focus on relatively short term performance’ [&lt;span&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peer coaching requires a collaborative, stepwise approach, as outlined in Figure 1. Firstly, time is set aside before any observation for a dialogue between peer coaches and their colleagues. Colleagues' needs are explored and the focus of the upcoming observation, in terms of developmental goals, is agreed upon. The peer coach then unobtrusively observes their colleague undertaking the teaching session. Afterwards, colleagues meet again for further dialogue, where both share their observations and reflections, whilst working towards ways in which educational practice might be modified. In essence, peer coaching represents a tool for guided self-reflection that is centred on individual performance, embedded in the workplace and underpinned by respectful relationships between colleagues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is much diversity in how peer coaching initiatives can be structured. They may be formal or informal, voluntary or mandated. They may occur as a one-off or instead run serially over a prolonged period. Participants may be organised into dyads or may instead form part of a larger group.
