Joseph M. Kaczmarczyk, DO, MPH, MBA

Joe is a physician coach focused on physician career transitions, physician leadership and physician retirement emotional challenges.

Joe’s 40-year career in medicine has been not only recognized with awards and honors, but also punctuated with failure and adversity.  Although our medical education and careers comprise a series of transitions, transitions are not easy for any physician, because transitions disrupt the routine and structure that contribute to our comfort zone.  Physician leadership remains increasingly challenging as a result of the accelerating rate of continued exponential change.  While much has been published about financial readiness for physician retirement, few resources are available for emotional readiness for physician retirement.  Joe’s career has included myriad transitions, multiple leadership positions, and loss of his professional identity concurrent with his retirement, thus allowing him to bring a wealth of experience to coach physicians regarding physician transitions, physician leadership, and physician retirement.
