About Physician Coaching
Physician coaching is a professional partnership between physicians – a trained coach and a client. The relationship is based on confidentiality, honesty, and trust. The coach creates an environment that allows the client to reflect and then determine their best steps for moving forward. The coach also establishes a system of accountability to increase the rate of success. Physician coaching calls on fundamental professional coaching core competencies often found in high-intensity professions like business or athletics.
