Physician Coaching
“Inspiring physicians to improve healthcare by nurturing professional relationships, advocating for social justice, and reconnecting with the great reasons we went into Medicine in the first place.”
"I want to be a more effective & efficient physician."
It really isn't fair that we are pushed out into a world as staff—a world with higher expectations, more complexity, and great responsibility—and expected to have all the skills we need. Our perspectives change over the course of our career as a clinician. What we may need or want from a coach will be different at different stages. Most of us providing care take great pride in it, and it hurts us in many ways when our patients don't know how much we care. As a coach, I can help bridge the gap.
