Institutional Coaching Program

For health systems that want to build a coaching culture.

A turnkey program to train internal coaches, roll out department-wide coaching, and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, retention, and team performance. Includes implementation support, communication templates, and access to a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

The Evidence

More than a decade of peer-reviewed research shows that surgical coaching improves technical performance, strengthens communication and teamwork, increases procedural confidence, and supports surgeon well-being and retention. In one NIH-funded study, coached surgeons reduced their average operative time by 15%. That is just one of the measurable outcomes institutions can expect.
