PHYSICIAN ADVISOR
My hope is to support you, individual practitioners and teams, to navigate conflict that you experience in your workplaces, so that we can live fully and embrace our careers in the way that we meant when we applied to the field of medicine.
Areas which I can support teams and individuals include interpersonal conflict, team conflict, situational processes held up by differences, difficulties navigating the health system and organizational practices, developing strategies to deal with conflict prior to formal concerns being raised at Covenant Health, Alberta Health Services and the University of Alberta, assisting the formal concern processes and integrating life and career due to practice and differences and goal discrepancies.
I offer EZMSA members 1:1 and team sessions as part of your membership. Members can expect a minimum of four one-hour sessions to achieve your goals through a scheduled process.
Through my career, with extensive clinical and executive experiences, I have coached for 100s of hours. I have seen great success helping individuals, patients, and teams create a process with which to navigate the situations that have been presented to them. I can do the same for you and your teams.
