Coaching for Physicians provides nationwide coaching by Zoom or in person. We individualize our coaching program for each doctor and work exclusively with physicians and surgeons. No two doctors are managed in the same way and we work one-on-one, to help you develop the skills you need to succeed in modern medicine.

At Coaching for Physicians we combine specialized physician coaching and education for individual physicians and healthcare organizations, including full days of immersion in soft skills coaching. These courses are the fastest way to develop new people skills.

Our services include leadership development, anger management, disruptive physician behavior, burnout and stress reduction, marital and relationship support, malpractice support, time management, conflict resolution, career & retirement, life coaching, executive coaching, emotional intelligence, communication and interpersonal skills - exclusively for physicians.

All sessions are individualized and available via Zoom. These are NOT online classes or groups, but one-on-one, physician-to-physician coaching.
