Group Coaching Program for Physicians 


Design and Build a Much More Ideal Practice 
and a More Balanced Life
Burnout Proof  | On Purpose | In Balance  | By Design

APPLY NOW

20 years ago, when I was just 40 years old, I burned out of my career as a Family Physician. I still loved taking care of my patients, just hated my job. At the time, I ticked all the boxes on “successful young doctor” on the outside – 2nd highest producer in the department, Chairman of the Executive Committee in our group, all of it. None of that was protection from the crash. 

On the inside I was overworked, exhausted, confused, even had a distinct feeling someone had their hands around my neck during my office days. It got to the point where I simply couldn’t keep going any longer. There was no one I could talk to, no one who could explain what was happening or show me a way back to enjoying my career. I made the choice to go to medical school years earlier and seen and done so many amazing things since then. But now it seemed like a brick wall, a dead-end road.

The worst part was all the emotions: confusion, shame, guilt, wondering what was wrong with me. How did it come to this? And the isolation - feeling like there was no one I could talk to or who would understand. 

IN THE YEARS SINCE, THAT BREAKDOWN HAS BECOME A BREAKTHROUGH.

Even when I stopped seeing patients, I was still locked into in on my original purpose, the one that drove me to go to medical school in the first place … to be a helper, a healer and to make a difference. Over the course of a decade, I traveled full circle in my search for a new calling. I got certified as an executive coach and since 2010 have been completely focused on helping over-stressed and burned out physicians build a practice and a life they enjoy again. 

I started my solo coaching practice, TheHappyMD.com, back in 2010 right at the start of the increase in physician burnout brought on by EMR, InBox overload, becoming just another employee with a non-physician boss. Then the waves of COVID came to town and magnified everyone’s struggle. 

Through all of those developments, I have coached physicians in all specialties to recognize, treat and prevent burnout. We discovered over 200 ways to lower practice stress and create more life balance and a four-part framework any doctor can use to build a personal burnout prevention strategy to match your specific situation. We even found a way to flip burnout upside down and use it to as a roadmap to a more ideal practice.  

I have published over 400 blog posts, written a book, hand-picked and trained five physician coaches to join our team – even trained over 40,000 doctors in our proven stress reduction tools in live settings.  

(It is ironic that I have become the person I would have so enjoyed talking to back in the days before I walked away from my practice!)

For the first time I’m sharing all of these tried and tested ideal practice strategies in a step-by-step group coaching process where you will be surrounded by a whole community of like-minded physicians.

RIGHT NOW YOU LIKELY BELIEVE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE OVERLOAD IS TO WORK HARDER. Just suck it up, bear down and soldier on through whatever comes your way, just like you learned in residency. 


➡️ You may feel like a puppet on strings with no control over your practice and no way to get leadership to address your legitimate concerns. 

➡️ You may struggle with chart notes, InBox overload and constant distractions from your team.
 
➡️ You may be way out of balance, can’t remember your last quality date night, feel like a stranger to your children.
 
➡️ You may be confused, worried that something is wrong with you and secretly hope no one finds out you are not happy.
 
➡️ And you may feel there is really nothing that can be done to change this current state of affairs, you don’t see or fee a light at the end of this tunnel.
 
That little voice in your head may be a broken record of “I’m not sure how much longer I can keep going like this.”

I am here to tell you:

WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS A NORMAL RESPONSE

TO THE STRESS OF THE MODERN PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.

It is a normal reaction, in a normal person, to the overwhelm – the WHIRLWIND

– of your practice. 

The Burnout Proof MD is a hybrid of Online Training, Private Online Community and Weekly Coaching Calls to create rapid positive change in your quality of life and practice satisfaction -designed, tested and proven effective with busy practicing physicians in all specialties.

APPLY NOW

You were programmed to burn out.

You were conditioned in your medical education – med school, residency, fellowship (up to a 16 year gauntlet for some) to ignore your own needs – physical – emotional – spiritual – because of the prime directive “the patient comes first.” 

 

It’s no fun to work someone else’s job description.

QUESTION: What role did you play in the design of your current job? Notice the answer is almost certainly ZERO. So, what are the odds this job is pointed right at your personal IDEAL JOB? (another zero?) Unless we change that and you learn to take back your practice, the odds of you hitting the burnout wall are nearly 100%.

 

Medicine is different these days.

Google in everyone’s pocket. The knowledge base in all specialties has escaped the human scale. No one can master their craft; the information is expanding too quickly. Digital overload is everywhere. Did you know that even before COVID physician burnout rates were hovering at 40 – 50%? Meaning on any given day in any given group, half of the doctors are measurably burned out. 

I am also here to tell you… 

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

 
THE LIMITING BELIEFS INSTALLED IN YOUR TRAINING ARE THE BIGGEST BLOCK TO BEING TRULY SATISFIED WITH YOUR CURRENT PRACTICE. 
 
YOU HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU KNOW TO CHANGE YOUR PRACTICE RIGHT NOW, once you know what to look for. Even small changes at work and at home can restore your energy, your connection with purpose and your family and restore your faith in your choice to become a doctor in the first place.

 Imagine what it will feel like when you …

✅ Have a weekly action plan to dial the stress out of your practice and build back in real life balance – and both of them are working 

✅ Know how to become the eye of the storm at work with just one breath

✅ Know what you really want in your practice and are actively building that into your workdays

✅ Know how to manage your boss to get a “Yes” when you need their help to build a better practice

✅ Can feel progress toward the practice you dreamed of way back when you decided go to medical school

APPLY NOW

What would it mean to you to enjoy your practice again – to build out a practice you actually feel proud of?

✔ Imagine building a burnout proof practice you can adjust over time to be a perfect match for your changing life circumstances (first child, empty next, retirement)

✔ Imagine releasing confusion, guilt and frustration because you have a clear path forward, up and out of your current reality.

Testimonials

The Burnout Proof MD IS FOR YOU WHETHER YOU ARE CURRENTLY OVERSTRESSED AND BURNED OUT – OR – IF YOU ARE SIMPLY NOT FEELING AS SATISFIED AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO WITH YOUR CAREER AND PRACTICE.

THE PROGRAM WILL SUPPORT YOU NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR PHYSICIAN CAREER

I am just out of residency …

Great! Let’s get you dialed into your ideal practice from the start. We both know that in Medical School, Residency and Fellowship no one really cared if you were happy or having an ideal experience. Now here you are working a job description you did not design … probably having trouble adjusting to the reality of a full-on practice. This is the most important time to step out of that Whirlwind with some like-minded colleagues, get really clear on what you really want and start working our structures to make this practice your own. We want to avoid a “failure to launch” scenario at all costs. 

I am mid-career and not sure I can make it to the finish line …

Love it! Our whole process is focused on practice optimization. It will treat and prevent burnout if that is where you are now. If you are doing OK and want to do better, the same process, structures and tools will work to get you to higher levels of practice performance and satisfaction no matter where you start on the bell shaped curve. 

I am doing really well and most concerned about being the best I can be ..

Perfect! That “finish line” is usually a financial goal, right? Burnout is the biggest threat to a physician’s net worth because practicing medicine is you fastest path to cash as a career. Ideally you have clear goals and a financial plan. Wouldn’t you like to keep enjoying your practice/career on the way to a point where you might be able to retire?
