Physician Performance Coaching Certificate
The Physician Performance Coaching Course is designed to help people in the healthcare industry and outside it become an Associate Certified Coach (ACC)-level coaches whose primary target population are physicians and other allied healthcare professionals.
Why take the course?
There are unprecedented challenges facing the modern-day physician such as burnout, leadership and executive responsibilities, an increasingly demanding healthcare system on a personal and professional level, and the uncertainties of the future. This has created an environment that requires certain skills, tools, abilities, and knowledge to not only survive in, but thrive. Research has shown that in general, physicians need to enhance those tools and abilities. Research has also shown the importance and the need for coaching in healthcare, particularly for physicians.
The coaching program was developed by leaders in the field of coaching and physician performance. With over a combined 30 years of experience in both fields, it was designed in an Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH) model according to the International Coach Federation (ICF) requirements. At the end of the program, participants graduate and are eligible to apply for their ACC certificate from the ICF.
