Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Goal Setting and Attainment

    Each participant identifies two professional goals at study onset. For each of the goals, participants respond to the question, "Up to today, how successful have you been in achieving this goal?" and rate their goal attainment on a scale from 0% (no attainment) to 100% (complete attainment). To control for differences between participants in perceived goal attainment difficulty, participants also will rate each goal for perceived difficulty on a 4-point scale ( 1=very easy, 2=somewhat easy, 3=somewhat difficult, 4=very difficult). Goal attainment scores are calculated by multiplying the difficulty rating by the degree of success.

    18 months (3 measurements at 6-month intervals)

One-to-One Coaching

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to One-to-One Coaching meet for an initial 2-hour coaching session, followed by seven 1-hour coaching sessions every 3-weeks. These eight sessions take place over the course of 6 months. Additional requirements for One-to-One Coaching: * Complete a 30-minute online assessment of goal attainment, well-being, burnout, and leadership strengths (a) at study enrollment, (b) at 6-months after study enrollment, and (c) 12-months following study enrollment. * Complete a 15-minute VIA Character Strengths Test online prior to One-to-One Coaching. * Following the completion of the final coaching session, participants are interviewed by a con-investigator by phone call to assess the experience of coaching. Each coaching session will be recorded, transcribed, anonymized, and analyzed to identify common themes.
