Feeling Stressed?
Wholehearted Doctoring provides coaching and support for physicians who feel over-stressed, disillusioned, or burned-out – helping them use these experiences to transform their work, lives, and organizations. Once we learn to effectively care for ourselves as human beings, we physicians can reconnect with our calling as healers and leaders in medicine.
