Why get a coach?

You have a goal but need support and accountability to get there.

Are you a parent and you are troubled with how to proceed with a decision because of the pressure to be a perfect parent and physician?

Do you feel alone? Does it seem like the people in your support system do not really understand what you are going through?

Everyone here is a physician. We are here to help and listen. We have been trained with skills that can give a different perspective than a spouse, friend or therapist. We just want to support you and help you as peer colleagues.

This situation is where peer support makes a real difference.

We understand because we have been there.

Have you had a bad patient outcome that left you feeling guilty, ashamed or like an impostor?

Are you a parent and you are troubled with how to proceed with a decision because of the pressure to be a perfect parent and physician?

You are not alone. We have been there and can help you deal with those feelings.

Are you frustrated at work? Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the staff shortages and constant changes?

We understand the frustration and lack of control. We have heard this before. Almost half of physicians feel stress due to lack of control at work. Let's talk about this.

Do you feel shocked by a negative patient review? Do you feel irritated this happened despite your efforts and sacrifices to take care of others with the best of your ability?

Physician reviews are ubiquitous in healthcare now. We can help you process these emotions and gain a new perspective.

Do you feel no one understands your challenges being the only woman, minority or LGBTQI in your department?

Do you feel shocked by a negative patient review? Do you feel irritated this happened despite your efforts and sacrifices to take care of others with the best of your ability?

Medicine is a long way to a diverse workforce. Until we achieve diversity and equity we can help you manage the emotions that are causing you distress.

Do you feel at times that you are not good enough?

Are you irritated about expectations others have of you, such as your in laws?

We all do things to get love and praise from others. It is a basic human need. However, sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are and how far we have come.

Are you irritated about expectations others have of you, such as your in laws?

We can't control what others say or how they behave. You do have control on how you interpret or react to a situation and it will release the emotional hold it can create. Coaches will help you understand the role of all the "shoulds " which you may choose to let go of.

Do you have doubts about the effectiveness of coaching?

Are you irritated about expectations others have of you, such as your in laws?

Are you not sure what to do to feel better, but you don't need psychotherapy?

Every physician has different skills, whether you know all the causes or hypercalcemia by heart, or you can take out an appendix in 21 minutes. Physicians who are coaches have another unique skill set. By sharing what you are dealing with, it can help lighten your load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a life coach?

A life coach is individual who has been certified to help others understand how their thoughts are causing their feelings, which then lead to their actions and results.

Life coaching can increase your awareness and help you learn skills to perceive less frustration, or pain during difficult, yet expected circumstances of life.

Coaching can help you understand that you have a conscious choice about what you think and this will affect how you ultimately feel and act.

Who are the coaches?

The coaches are all physicians who have trained or are in training to be certified life coaches.

Coaching is not a doctor/patient relationship, but rather it is a coach/ client relationship.

We do not prescribe any medications, nor do we act in a physicians role when we coach.

How is coaching different than therapy?

Therapy is provided by either by a licensed mental health provider or physician in which a patient/ doctor relationship is established. Therapy may help you understand how your your situation or past affects your situation now. There are many different types of therapy and we do not offer that. We offer an understanding and awareness of your thoughts, so that you can see how it affects your feelings, actions and results.

Who is this for?

For anyone ready to change their lives and get support, accountability and results with our Certified Life Coaches. Stop trying to figure this out on your own. Get results from verified, and vouched for coaches.

Who is this not for?

If you are depressed or suicidal, there are other resources available.

Please see the resource page or call the Physician Support Line which is run by psychiatrists at 1 (888) 409 0141.

Please reach out to The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: by texting 988 you are having suicidal thoughts or call 911.

Why choose support from a physician coach?

Coaching is evidence based technique that has been proven to alleviate physician burnout. Being supported by a certified coach who is also a fellow physician adds another level of understanding of the unique challenges doctors face.

Why was Physician Coach Support started?

47% of physicians suffer from burnout, 18% are depressed, 13% have suicidal thoughts. 56% of physicians with burnout do not intend to get help. Meanwhile 400+ physicians per year will complete suicide. We must help each other as physicians. Do not suffer in silence. You are meant to live your best life, not your worst life as a physician.

We are here for those ready to get support in whatever your goals are, but we have different skills we use to help as coaches, which is different than a friend, a mentor or a spouse.

Does coaching work and is there research to show this?

Yes. There are peer reviewed articles showing decrease in burnout and emotional exhaustion after coaching.

-JAMA Medical Education: "Effect of a Novel Online Group-Coaching Program to Reduce Burnout in Female Resident Physicians" A RCT. 2022; 5(5) May 6, 2022. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2791968

If I like my coach, and want to learn more, how do I find them?

When you book your appointment you will not know who is assigned to you.

All of the coaches have profiles listed under the "Volunteers" tab.

The purpose of this service is peer support using coaching skills.

If you become interested in coaching and would like to work with a coach long term you can see their information under this tab. This is there as a resource and so it is not awkward to ask for their information during the call.

However, coaches are not here to offer their own paid services or programs, unless you request the information. If any coach breeches this policy, please contact us and let us know right away. This is not a service for coaches to find clients but to HELP you.

Who needs or has a coach?

Anyone that wants help in any aspect of their life. This is mental fitness, just like we think of physical fitness.

There are many specific life coaches: life coaches that help you with burnout, finances, weight loss or managing chronic diseases to name a few. The majority of life coaches are not physicians, but there is a growing number of physicians who are also life coaches.

Most professional athletes, successful entrepreneurs, famous TV stars have life coaches. Coaching can be a useful tool for anyone.
