Research
Principal investigator for a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of professional coaching on academic physician faculty goal attainment, psychological well-being, burnout, and leadership effectiveness.
The overall hypothesis of our research, the Physicians CHECK PAGERS trial, is that physician coaching helps expand cognitive complexity, and technical knowledge, in addition to improving psychological well-being as measured across the domains of purpose, autonomy, personal growth, environmental mastery, positive relationships, and self-acceptance. We aim to test the efficacy of one-to-one coaching, group coaching, peer coaching, and self coaching.
