Coaching at Nxt Gen has been found to increase residents self confidence and clinical reasoning skills to improve patient outcomes.

Technology

Our programs are built upon a learning management system which is located directly within Microsoft Office 365.  All technology fees are included within tuition costs.  You will receive 1-year access to Office 365, starting from your start date.

Accreditation

The program follows an ABPTRFE accredited curriculum.  This said, because this program offers virtual mentorship (as opposed to onsite mentorship) it has not been accredited.  This allows us to offer you a more innovative model of education.
