About This Session
A fundamental goal of medical education is to assist medical learners to achieve competence. Multiple methodologies are used as part of our curricula. In this talk, Dr. Wright will present research findings and opinions that teachers who are role models and coaches can powerfully move learners beyond competence towards excellence. Role models and coaches in medicine have the potential to be transformative and to help learners to realize professional growth.
