DocTalks: Academic Coaching in Medical Education with Dr. Jill Bailey

At TMU's medical school, every student gets a coach, but what exactly does that relationship look like? Dr. Jill Bailey joins Heather and Curtis to talk about coaching and its benefits for both the coach and the coachee throughout a physician's career. Dr. Jill Bailey is a family physician with a practice focused on mental health and addictions. Since 2022, after 14 years of rural general family practice, she now splits her time between the inpatient addiction medicine program at Homewood Health Centre in Guelph Ontario, and providing mindfulness skills groups to physicians across Canada. At the TMU School of Medicine Dr Bailey is the Associate Director of Academic Coaching in the MD program, a POM facilitator, a Competency Coach for Family Medicine Residents and the Behavioural Medicine Lead of the BOLD-FM program. She is passionate about teaching colleagues and future physicians about how having a human-centered approach to care is not only beneficial for patients but also enables physicians to reduce burnout and savour the meaningful work they are doing.
