Our Method
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.
Our Coaching Method
We use a metacognitive coaching tool to teach participants a tangible way to reframe thoughts, implement change, and learn methods for healthy coping.
After completing the BT program, participants experienced lower rates of burnout and imposter syndrome, and greater levels of self-compassion.
The Intervention
Participants are given access to coaching on a secure, members-only platform in three ways:
Pre-scheduled live group coaching calls on Zoom
Weekly self-study worksheets and videos
Monthly 1:1 coaching sessions with a BT Coach
Unlimited anonymous written coaching
