Drs. Berlacher, Silvestry, Virani, and our very own Julie Glickstein (Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital/Columbia) will lead us through a discussion defining coaching and sponsorship, identifying the benefit of doing them regularly in your fellowship, and most importantly providing examples of coaching and sponsoring that you can try in your program immediately after the event.
This will be an interactive event where we break into small groups for a short period during the session to share ideas and brainstorm, returning to a larger group discussion. We will give you key takeaways at the end of the session as well as a collated list of activities PDs and APDs are doing throughout the nation that you can try at your home institution.
When you register, we will ask you to provide one example of coaching and one example of sponsoring that you do already in your program with your FITs.
