Virtual Coaching Details

The virtual coaching curriculum offers a series of vulnerable, engaging, and interactive sessions. You’ll learn alongside approximately 11 of your colleagues in a confidential and supportive space where you can reflect, laugh, be human, and connect around the shared experience of practicing medicine today.

Each session will blend evidence-based tools with clinicians' lived experience, integrating neuroscience, physiology, mindfulness, coaching, and compassionate discussion. The focus is on practical strategies you can use immediately in the clinic and at home.

Feedback from your SEBMG Colleagues

“Would recommend this retreat to everyone and would come back in a heartbeat.”

“I would recommend it especially for those who think they don’t have time.

The retreat covered so much that I will carry forward and grow.”

“This retreat is unique. It is run by a physician who understands the challenges of being a physician, how our training magnifies stress, and the pathophysiology behind the stress and interventions.”

“Even if you don’t think you are in a state of burnout, the retreat can still be incredibly helpful and grounding.”

“It will give you the words to explain what you’ve been feeling, allow connection with others who have been struggling with the same mindsets, and learn useful tools to change your mindset.”

“Great leader, great content, great location – the location is perfect.”
