Co-Mentoring: Learn from A Fellow Physician

Physicians experience pleasure learning from and teaching fellow practicing physicians.  Dr. Cohn helps physicians push back against what appear to be overwhelming forces as he helps fellow physician master techniques, such as active listening, win-win negotiation, safe confrontation, and conflict resolution that physicians generally are not taught in medical school, residency, or fellowship. 

Dr. Cohn uses the term “co-mentoring” because it emphasizes that each party brings knowledge, strength, and wisdom to the process, as this physician noted:

Over the course of 2 years I have evolved from a rock-tossing member of the medical staff to the VPMA at my hospital, where I work with administration and my fellow physicians, striving to promote co-mentoring relationships.
Co-mentoring implies that the partners in the relationship are on equal footing, which greatly improves communication, particularly among physicians who are sensitive to hierarchy.
Ken Cohn facilitated a dialog between the medical staff and administration, which was transformational, both for the institution and for me personally.
I recognized that the hospital and medical staff shared an important objective: providing the highest quality patient care, and that we could best fulfill that goal by finding ways to work together. We have identified a new generation of physician leaders that has begun to change the practice environment and our workplace culture.
