Coaching is often discussed as a faculty skill or a professional development add-on. Far less often is it examined as a foundational mechanism for personalization, resilience, and growth within structured medical training programs.

In this episode of The Precision Educator Podcast, Dr. Aileen Adriano joins the conversation to explore coaching as a core pillar of precision education. Together, the discussion focuses on how coaching enables individualized learning pathways while maintaining standards, accountability, and programmatic coherence.

The episode examines what effective coaching looks like in real clinical environments, how faculty roles shift in a precision education model, and why coaching culture matters as much as coaching technique.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• How coaching functions as a personalization engine in medical education
• The relationship between coaching, learner agency, and resilience
• Practical considerations for building coaching capacity among faculty
• Implications for assessment, feedback, and educational culture
