Partnering with Physicians and Healthcare Organizations.
“If it weren’t for SurgeonMasters, I would likely feel isolated and questioning my career choices. Surgeon coaching has helped me find the energy to not only have a satisfying career but have more time for my family and pursue clinical research, medical writing and publications, teach at courses and participate in local and national committees.”

Why does coaching support our best?
Every day physicians feel the intense pressure of being at their best for every patient and the people around us—on top of working long hours, EMR duties, medical education requirements, and online reputations to worry about.
Too often, physicians are left to store their emotions “inside” and keep going. And when confronted with these problems, many are afraid of how they’ll be perceived if they speak up.

Surgeon Coaching Success Stories
“I valued talking to a trained coach and fellow surgeon and getting advice and input about balancing work and personal life, career development, and other specific issues that come up.

General Surgeon
“No one tells you how to run a practice, let alone how to start a program from scratch without any senior guidance. Having a sounding board for how to grow your practice is invaluable. I think that it helped me realize some of the personal goals and personal vision that I’ve had for myself as a surgeon. That work isn’t done, but I truly believe I am further along than if I hadn’t enlisted a coach.”
