The Physician Mentor Coaching Program offers structured professional support to help physicians develop the coaching competencies needed to achieve their desired ICF credential level. As required by the ICF, Mentor Coaching takes place over a minimum of three months, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive learning experience.
Participants refine their coaching skills through deliberate practice, coaching physician peers within the SurgeonMasters training community, and receiving targeted feedback from a Mentor Coach.
Physician Mentor Coaching Program Components
Physician Mentor Coaching consists of observation, feedback, and practice coaching to prepare for the International Coaching Federation credentialing process. Physician Mentor Coaching participants are mentored on their coaching skills rather than building a coaching business.

- 3 Hours of Approved ICF One-On-One Mentor Coaching.
- 3 Recorded Coaching Sessions for Playback and Review.

Non-ICF Accredited Training Education
If non ICF-accredited programs or Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units will be used to meet the required 60 hours of coach-specific education, you must use the Portfolio Path to apply for a credential. For non ICF-accredited education, the program curriculum will need to be submitted with robust documentation to ensure the education received meets ICF standards.
