This is a randomized controlled trial with a mixed method design to determine the impact of coaching on self-perceived medical errors, burnout, and resilience. The study team developed a novel coaching curriculum based in principles of positive psychology and self-reflection with the hypothesis that the coaching intervention will lead to decreased medical errors, decreased burnout, and increased resilience in trainee and faculty participants. Resident and fellow trainees as well as faculty members were recruited across departments and randomized to coaching or control. Faculty in the coaching arm were trained in coaching techniques and paired with a trainee coachee. Survey results as well as focus groups will be used to analyze the impact of the coaching program as compared to standard mentorship (control).

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Medical errors in trainees | Self-perceived medical errors amongst trainees based on survey response. | baseline (pre) compared to results at the end (post) of the coaching intervention, an average of 9 months |
| Burnout | Burnout score amongst trainees and faculty based on Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index | baseline (pre) compared to results at the end (post) of the coaching intervention, an average of 9 months |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| medical errors in faculty | Self-perceived medical errors amongst faculty based on survey response. Specifically, faculty are asked "Do you think you may have made any medical error in the last 3 months? A medical error is the failure of a planned action to be completed as intended, or the failure of an unplanned action that should have been completed" with answer choices yes, no, and unsure. | baseline (pre) compared to results at the end (post) of the coaching intervention, an average of 9 months |
