Abstract
In addition to medical knowledge and psychomotor skills, anesthesiology practice requires the ability to work within a complex system, navigate social situations, manage conflict, and lead teams. Coaching has foundations in psychology and adult learning theory and uses a process of inquiry, reflection, and shared discernment to discover values, goals, and solutions. There is increasing use and evidence for coaching in medicine and anesthesiology to support personal and professional growth. Individual and group coaching for anesthesiologists may improve anesthesiologists' ability to communicate, collaborate and solve problems, improving well-being, culture, and plausibly, patient outcomes.
