We created Better Together Physician Coaching (BT) as an online, group coaching program for physicians with an aim to decrease burnout and increase wellbeing, therefore enhancing effectiveness, satisfaction and excellence in their career and beyond.

After completing the BT program, participants experienced lower rates of burnout and imposter syndrome, and greater levels of self-compassion.
