Clinical Faculty
The School of Medicine is seeking Academic / Competency Coaches to support learners across both Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) and Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME).
This role is centered on longitudinal coaching relationships that support learners in reflecting on their progress, setting meaningful goals, and navigating the complexity of medical training within a competency-based education model.
The Opportunity
Coaches will work closely with learners over time, providing a consistent space for reflection, guidance, and development.
Within UGME, the focus is on supporting students as they build foundations in clinical learning, professional identity, and self-directed learning. Coaches help learners interpret feedback, identify growth areas, and develop strategies to support their progression through medical school.
Within PGME, coaching is more closely connected to competency-based progression. Coaches support residents in reviewing performance data, preparing for key progression points, and, where appropriate, contributing insight into formal processes such as Competence Subcommittees. Coaches will also support the learner in discussions around scholarly projects, career planning and finding a healthy work-life balance. There may also be involvement in supporting learners requiring additional guidance or structured learning plans.
Across both UGME and PGME, this role is not supervisory or evaluative in nature, but rather grounded in mentorship, coaching, and supporting learner success through thoughtful engagement and longitudinal insight.
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking physicians who bring a genuine interest in learner development and medical education, and who are comfortable engaging in reflective, coaching-based conversations.
Candidates must hold licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and be certified through the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or the College of Family Physicians of Canada (or equivalent). Familiarity with competency-based medical education and prior experience in mentorship, advising, or assessment processes are valuable assets.
