We'll take a break from our usual format to respond to the many requests we've received for a more structured, concrete way for professionals to build health coaching proficiency. In this session, we'll share a new national pathway for health coach development and recognition based on evidence-based standards for training and proficiency, and demonstration of proficiency using a validated tool. Participants will be able to:
- Recognize the benefits to professionals, customers and patients of competency-based training
- Identify the need for a structured, evidence-based approach to developing and measuring proficiency in health behavior change facilitation
- Understand the steps for becoming a Registered Health Coach and listing in the PartnersinImprovement National Health Coach Registry
