Hi! Just a reminder that we have our first Faculty Development Breakfast coming up!

Faculty Development Breakfast: Coaching in Medical Education

Location: Baker 1 Conference Room ARHCC
Facilitator: Jacqueline P. Ashby, Ed.D.

Description: Medical education is initiating a shift in the preceptor-resident dynamic and encouraging more of “coach approach” to the relationship. The intentions behind this transition are to support and further develop learners through identifying needs, creating a plan, goal setting, and self-monitoring. In this session, we will assess our coaching experiences and skills as well reflect on how our sense of purpose and value system informs the ways in which we interact with and guide others.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Warmly,

Jacqueline
