In 2021, the Department of Family and Community Medicine added a Coaching Program to our new faculty onboarding approach. Each new faculty is assigned a designated coach from among experienced faculty. Over the course of 6 months, 15 hours of dedicated coaching time is blocked set aside for 1:1 coaching sessions. There is a short list of topics that are expected to be covered during these sessions. Most of the time is unstructured so that the new faculty can set the agenda to cover topics they perceive they need help with. This program has proven very successful and popular with new faculty.
