For nearly two decades now, educational research^1-6 intensely reminds us of the important benefits of individualized coaching for faculty leaders in academic medicine. For deans, department chairs, center directors, and divisions with the college interested in receiving 1:1 executive coaching, we invite you to explore the recommended options below. Our recommendations come from first-hand outcomes and collaborative experiences with them in our development programs across the college.
