Brett Factor - Specialist Coaching

I offer performance coaching for doctors who are preparing for specialist exams. My primary area of interest is medical education and simulation. I also believe that the skills in communication and confident performance which are gained from the exam process can benefit relationships with patients and colleagues.

My approach is unique. I pay particular attention to the aspects of exam performance that are rarely discussed, but are essential to exam success. As a result, many doctors find that I offer them new approaches and solutions they have not tried in the past. These include management of stress and clear verbal formatting in clinical exams. These approaches can significantly improve the chances of success in medical exams.

I am a Fellow of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, and I have also studied medical simulation, counselling and a number of foreign languages. I have travelled widely, and have a special interest in how cultural differences play into professional interactions.

Alongside this, I emphasise the importance of maintaining a sense of life balance while preparing for specialist exams. And I am committed in my belief that you don’t need to put your life on hold. This perspective can help relieve the stress and anxiety associated with the process and enhance performance.

Ultimately, I aim to give each junior doctor their best chance of success.
