In this session, our focus will be on surgeon coaching and its unique differentiators from other career support roles, such as teaching, mentoring, and counseling. We will define surgeon coaching and share compelling evidence from a growing body of peer-reviewed publications, showcasing how coaching contributes to enhancing individual well-being and fostering performance improvement. The majority of our discussion will be case-based presentations and some firsthand experiences shared by surgeons who have successfully leveraged coaching to propel their career aspirations.
Objectives:
1. Define coaching, and differentiate it from mentoring and advising.
2. Discuss evidence and research findings that demonstrate the positive impact of coaching on physician well-being and performance improvement.
3. Explore reasons to engage a coach.
Moderator: Jeffrey M. Smith, MD, PCC
Wellness is not typically created for us. Wellness is not an easy practice, but it can be improved with intentional efforts and understanding what wellness means to each of us throughout our career. In this session, we will focus on creating and/or maintaining wellness as defined by each participant through a deliberate reflective practice guided by a surgeon coach. If you plan to attend, please bring an open mind and the understanding that our discussion is confidential to this small group.
Objectives:
1. Discuss and reflect on current wellness.
2. Set realistic goals for wellness and initiate a plan to reach goals.
3. Commit to a deliberate practice of wellness a little beyond our comfort zone requiring incremental change.
Moderator: Jeffrey M. Smith, MD, PCC
