Uncover strategies for better collaboration, connectedness, and shared vision in the workplace. Physicians as Coaches: Improving Physician Well-being and Impact Physician Coaching Competencies from Mayo Clinic Physician Wellcoaches at Mass General Hospital I'm ready to become a coach Today the professional lives of physicians demand the highest-ever levels of internal resources and well-being to meet the growing challenges faced by patients, as well as healthcare practices and organizations.

All the while, you will be transformed through your own self-coaching journey, rediscovering your deepest values and resources, and rising above the tide of burnout. Why become a Physician Coach? Improve your own well-being. Learning about, and applying, key coaching concepts like self-compassion, growth-mindset, and wellness visioning will inevitably have a positive impact on your own life. Increase patient satisfaction and engagement. Your patients will experience you as a more empathetic listener who delivers patient-centered care. Change the culture of your organization.

It fostered both personal and professional growth. It left myself and my physician colleagues with the skills and confidence to jump right into the complicated world of helping physicians (and everyone else) navigate their distress, and enabled us to help others find the solutions they need to fulfill their dreams. I would gladly recommend Wellcoaches to anyone who asks. Kerri Palamara McGrath, MD Director of Physician Well-being, Massachusetts General Hospital Collaborating with Wellcoaches has transformed our institutional approach to supporting physician well-beng. The physicians who underwent training and certification are newly empowered to walk this journey toward meaning, purpose and engagement with colleagues and with themselves. They are well prepared to work 1:1 with their colleagues and engage in group coaching, which has been invaluable for improving system-level issues within the institutions.
