Physician Wellness

THERAPY, COACHING, & SPEAKING for Physicians

A complex career in medicine can take its toll on identity and emotional well-being. As the career progresses, humanity can feel distant, identity gets lost in the stress of work and life, and fatigue, confusion, and burnout are common. Physicians don't easily reach out for emotional support due to:

being too busy to take time for personal issues
not knowing there is a better way to process thoughts & emotions
fear of admitting & facing their issues
not knowing who to see for sensitive and specific matters

>>> It is telling that the physician suicide rate is more than 2x higher than that of the general population.

PHYSICIAN REVIEWS:

Dear Dr. Bira,

I just wanted to take a moment to commend you on an excellent presentation that I had the opportunity to attend at the Medical Center last Friday, March 29th. As the President of a large radiology practice, I was gratified to see several of my partners in attendance but I honestly wished many more could have been there. I didn’t want to let this moment slip away without me at least inquiring about the possibility of another presentation sometime in the not too distant future? At any rate, thanks again for a great talk. It must have been a rather daunting audience and a challenge to decide what to highlight. You did a phenomenal job.

Hi Lindsay,

Thank you for sharing your well chosen, high impact slides, as well as references. They will be helpful for staff and patient education in my cardiovascular wellness practice.

Especially, thank you for your well organized, clearly spoken, and visually appealing lecture on life-work balance, and framework for managing the myriad of relationships which we all encounter in medicine.

Dr. Bira - THANK YOU! I cannot tell you how many verbal compliments I received! My boss was impressed, so THANK YOU for that!

You were an awesome speaker and I worry we won’t have other presentations like this! I wonder if you can return soon?
