116 Physician Wellness Coaching: Proven Benefit!

https://302.buzz/PM-WhatAreYourThoughts

Who will heal the healers? Managing physician burnout is a tall order. And yet when both Dr. Tyra Fainstad and Dr. Adrienne Mann found themselves going through difficult life-chapters, they saw a need in the system that had not been addressed.  Their program, Better Together, is for the medical community that may feel isolated or may feel like there’s no outlet. Even though there are definite differences between a Coach and a Physician, when listening to the doctors speak about their program,  it seems so logical that the two would work hand in hand with one another. If you’re dealing with burnout or know someone who is, you’ll want to take a listen.
