Who is supporting your best?

Physician coaching supports the goals of hospital administrators and physician clients. Physician coaching is different from signing your team up for resilience training or seminars. Physician coaching is a partnership that provides a confidential space for reflection, a system of accountability, and a partner to plan next steps. Coaching centers the relationship on the needs of the physician client and their best performance. SurgeonMasters engage each client with curiosity and compassion to support their best practice.

Why hire a physician coach?

At SurgeonMasters, our coaches specialize in understanding physicians—because we’re physicians too. The practice of medicine presents unique challenges, and a physician coach understands the complexity of navigating the system.

Create a safe space to gain perspective and clarity around personal or professional challenges.
Discuss interpersonal relationships and communication styles.
Examine leadership styles and decision-making.
Implement wellness habits and prioritize self-care (Work / Life Balance).
Create improvements in clinical and team efficiencies.
Manage patient complications and improve outcomes.

Building a Practice

"Having a sounding board for how to grow your practice is invaluable. My coach has 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. Sometimes it's also great to hear that what you're going through is normal. Medicine can be very isolating." - Thai Trinh, MD

Work / Life Balance

"I valued talking to a trained coach and fellow surgeon about balancing work and personal life, career development, and other specific issues that come up. What I value the most is I feel it is a "safe space" to talk about these things with an unbiased outside person with similar experiences." - Confidential Surgeon

Professional Support

"I appreciate having (safe) space and time to attend to my needs, thoughts, and reactions relating to the myriad challenges that face us on a daily basis. I appreciate having a sounding board who can challenge me to develop my thoughts and hone my reactions into responses. Coaching holds me accountable to attend to myself. It has helped to push me to what I hope will ultimately be a better place of self judgement or assessment." - Anonymous Surgeon
