Tonight's advanced business strategy session on how to add a consulting/coaching arm to your ideal clinic—or maybe even go 100% coaching . . . a great “retirement” gig :) THIS IS FOR YOU IF . . .  1. You are unmatched to residency, did not complete residency or do not have an active medical license. 2. You want to retire, yet continue to work a really cool retirement gig as your own boss. 3. Want to add a consulting/coaching arm to your existing ideal clinic (you may enjoy it so much that you go 100% coaching/consulting). What is a physician coach? A physician coach helps clients move from their present state to a more desirable future in a co-creative partnership either one-on-0ne or in small curated groups. A coach will help clients normalize emotions, identify challenges and transform obstacles into victories to achieve goals. YOU DO NOT NEED A MEDICAL LICENSE to be a health coach.

Dr. Wible's keynote on preventing physician suicide and creating a culture of wellness among orthopaedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and veterinarians. Concepts apply to all specialties and professions. Culture can make or break individuals, teams, and your medical institution.

Saving patient lives begins with honoring and respecting the lives of those who are responsible for their care.

"Dear Dr. Wible, two residents have killed themselves within a single month at NYU Langone. One of them hanged herself in my finance's building. The building's windows were jammed to not open more than a couple of inches after another resident jumped to her death two years ago. I guess they thought this and offering student counseling services would stop residents from killing themselves. A part of me wants to apologize for the last sentence and ward off my cynicism, but I won't because, as you said, we need to shine a light on medicine's dirty little secret before it's too late. There are posters offering counseling services and heartfelt emails being sent to the students, but here's one thing no one in power to help is mentioning—the supervisors and their bullying.”
