The Problem Every Doctor Faces

“As a doctor, your career is demanding, and finding time for yourself feels impossible. Burnout, stress, and lack of work-life balance can leave you feeling stuck and uninspired.”

I’ve Got Your Back!

Hi! I’m Dr. Ben.

I am a pediatric cardiologist, a medical educator, and a coach. More importantly, I am a partner, “bonus dad”, son, brother, dog lover, wannabe gardener, grill master, and a Hawkeye Fan.

I’ve spent my career in academic medicine at the University of Iowa. Clinically I’m a pediatric cardiologist and specialize in fetal echo, single ventricle care, and echocardiography.

My academic passion is helping others realize their dreams. I have served on the medical school admissions committee, faculty promotion advisory committee, as fellowship program director, and medical school learning community director.

My 3-Step Process

Step 1:

Identify

Recognize the root causes of dissatisfaction, stress, and burnout by taking a deep dive into both personal and professional factors that contribute to the problem. Clearly identify what’s holding you back.

Step 2:

Act

Take practical steps towards change. Through coaching and actionable strategies, you will develop new skills, implement time management, and learn mindfulness and wellness practices all while exploring options that align with your values and lifestyles.

Step 3:

Reconnect

After taking the necessary steps, you’ll reconnect with your true self; what matters most. Whether it’s deepening relationships, rediscovering your passion for medicine, charting a new career path, or achieving a more fulfilling work/life balance.

“It was nice to be heard!”

“It was nice to be heard. I underestimated the power of a listening ear. I was ready to walk away from medicine but created a path forward by improving how I work with my team and prioritizing myself over my career. Thanks, Ben!”

Family Medicine Physician

“Full time practice wasn’t for me. I was ready to leave but didn’t have an exit plan or know my options. Ben helped me clarify my goals. I created an exit plan while supporting my family with clinical work and transitioned to locums work. The transition would not have gone smoothly without Ben’s guidance.”

Emergency Medicine Physician

“I referred a struggling third year resident to Ben. The result: improved leadership and communication skills. They are now a candidate for chief resident!”

General Surgery Program Director

“I was preparing for an interventional cardiology fellowship interview. It is competitive, I was nervous, and unsure if I wanted to add on another year of training. Coaching helped me realize I was on the right career path and I ACED my interview. Ben’s experience as a fellowship director was a bonus.”
