Abstract
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal coaching in residency programmes is becoming commonplace and requires iterative and collaborative discussions between coach and resident, with the shared development of goals. However, little is known about how goal development unfolds within coaching conversations over time and the effects these conversations have. We therefore built on current coaching theory by analysing goal development dialogues within resident and faculty coaching relationships. METHODS: This was a qualitative study using interpretive description methodology. Eight internal medicine coach-resident dyads consented to audiotaping coaching meetings over a 1-year period. Transcripts from meetings and individual exit interviews were analysed thematically using goal co-construction as a sensitising concept. RESULTS: Two themes were developed: (i) The content of goals discussed in coaching meetings focused on how to be a resident, with little discussion around challenges in direct patient care, and (ii) co-construction mainly occurred in how to meet goals, rather than in prioritising goals or co-constructing new goals. CONCLUSIONS: In analysing goal development in the coach-resident relationships, conversations focused mainly around how to manage as a resident rather than how to improve direct patient care. This may be because academic coaching provides space separate from clinical work to focus on the stage-specific professional identity development of a resident. Going forward, focus should be on how to optimise longitudinal coaching conversations to ensure co-regulation and reflection on both clinical competencies and professional identity formation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
