Abstract
As medical education moves toward a competency-based model of teaching and learning, the need for individual academic coaching has increased. However, coaching for improving academic performance is underexplored relative to coaching for the improvement of technical skills. This manuscript introduces 12 tips for developing academic coaching skills (in the context of one-on-one coaching encounters as well as that of the broader learning and teaching environment) that promote lifelong learning habits. These tips were developed by drawing upon relevant literature from coaching (across disciplines), educational linguistics, the learning sciences, and my experiences as a medical education learning specialist. Key considerations for impactful academic coaching include critical self-reflection (for both the learner and learning specialist), dialogic interpersonal communication, collaborating with student leaders and faculty, and facilitating the development of self-regulated, lifelong learning skills.
