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.
