Summary

Dr. Adrienne Mann and Dr. Tyra Fainstad conducted a study of over 1,000 women resident and fellow physicians, enrolling about half of them in a group coaching program, while the other half didn’t receive any coaching. The results were astounding — their research found that coaching drastically improves burnout, imposter syndrome, and self-compassion (among other things). They join me on the podcast this week as we discuss their study, learn why residents were the ideal group to do this research on, define moral injury as it relates to our careers, and learn why group coaching might be right for you.

So I think anxiety is like a big motivator of why we go look for help with our minds.

1:00.5

So completely natural.

1:01.5

It makes sense.

1:02.5

And obviously I talk quite a lot about anxiety and like a lot of different ways in bits

1:07.5

and pieces here and there.

1:08.8

But I realized I had not, in a long time, if ever, really put together all of my work on
