Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial with a mixed method design to determine the impact of coaching on self-perceived medical errors, burnout, and resilience. The study team developed a novel coaching curriculum based in principles of positive psychology and self-reflection with the hypothesis that the coaching intervention will lead to decreased medical errors, decreased burnout, and increased resilience in trainee and faculty participants. Resident and fellow trainees as well as faculty members were recruited across departments and randomized to coaching or control. Faculty in the coaching arm were trained in coaching techniques and paired with a trainee coachee. Survey results as well as focus groups will be used to analyze the impact of the coaching program as compared to standard mentorship (control).
