Exploring the value, enablers and barriers of being a clinician‐coach: A qualitative pilot study of clinician‐coaches in emergency medicine

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To explore how clinicians understand coaching and their clinician-coach practice in emergency medicine. METHODS: Participants were surveyed about the value of coaching and their beliefs about the enablers of, and barriers to, being a clinician-coach. RESULTS: Three themes were developed for the value of coaching: empowerment and growth; enhanced interpersonal dynamics; and reflective transformation. Key enablers were supportive infrastructure, self-driven development and recognition of value. Key barriers were time constraints and scheduling conflicts, cultural challenges and financial and structural obstacles. CONCLUSIONS: Fostering a supportive environment for coaching could significantly enhance clinician competence and well-being, healthcare delivery and professional development.
