Welcome back to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Today we're diving into the transformative power of coaching in clinical medicine with our special guest, Margie Sills-Maerov. She has an extensive background as a former occupational therapist and expertise in health systems coaching from Calgary, Alberta.

In this episode, we'll explore the co-constructed learning approach, its focus on personal development, and how coaching techniques can foster internal growth and professional resilience. We'll discuss the emotional and practical responses to policy changes and the power of personal skills in navigating uncertainty and chaos.

Join us as we delve into the concept of "choice within mandate," balancing adaptive behaviour while maintaining your professional identity, and the ripple effects of small changes that lead to significant impacts in healthcare. We'll also hear about the transition from traditional medical advice to a coaching model that empowers patients to take charge of their health within their unique contexts.

Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:

1. Personal Development: Emphasizing internal growth and self-support through a co-constructed learning approach.
2. Adaptive Mindset: Managing uncertainty and change in the healthcare environment while maintaining professional identity.
3. Ripple Effect: Recognizing the significant impact individual changes can have on broader healthcare systems.
