Most medical practice leaders do not provide leadership coaching to clinicians, according to the Medical Group Management Association's most recent Stat poll.
The May 14 poll asked 1,202 medical practice leaders whether their organization provides leadership coaching to clinicians.
Sixty-seven percent of respondents said "no," while 33 percent said "yes."
Some respondents who answered "yes" provided the following insights, according to MGMA:
- "Leadership training for medical leadership is an annual goal."
- "Monthly leadership coaching is an in-service held to cross-train clinicians in other departmental jobs. As an integral part of a disaster plan, any leader will be qualified to perform pertinent tasks, if necessary, allowing the clinic to remain open to serve our community. The training builds tolerance and teamwork."
- "Clinicians can use funds from their continuing education budget."
- "New leaders automatically spend their first year in a leadership development program."
