IS THIS PROGRAM FOR YOU?

AAMCC coach training programs are practical, evidence-based, professional development courses designed specifically for people in Academic Medical Centers or equivalent settings who want to add coaching skills to their tool box in order to:

• Increase employee engagement and organizational improvement

• Foster innovation, creativity, and proactive problem solving

• Improve patient care and patient satisfaction

• Develop bench strength, emerging and future leaders

Program attendees often include senior leaders (executives, deans, cabinet members), health science faculty, directors, administrators, academic and departmental leaders, nurse leaders, clinical leaders, faculty development professionals, human resources professionals, lab directors, emerging leaders, as well as external coaches and consultants who work with Academic Medical Centers or equivalent settings. 

The insights gained and the people I met during this program were extraordinary.  I was taught tangible skills to develop my colleagues, partners, and trainees.  I connected with an exceptional and diverse group of people from medical institutions around the US and was made better from their experiences and interactions.  The mindful approach to coaching through the Spiro model resonated with my approach to life and medicine –  I am a better physician, leader, and person for participating in this program!

THE BENEFITS OF COACHING

A global study^ of over 2,000 professionals who received coaching found that

​

more than 70% 

​

resulted in positive impacts on work performance,

​

interpersonal and communication skills, relationships, and confidence.

Coaching as "...an important methodology for facilitating goal attainment and fostering resilience in this vital social sector, benefiting workers in the health services, their families and ultimately their patients and

the broader community."
