Our Mission is to support medical students in reaching their full potential as leaders and Healers.
A Whole New Doctor supports medical students in developing resilience and emotional intelligence to better deal with an increasingly complicated, sometimes hostile, healthcare system.
Executive coaching focused on personal development is effective in anticipating and lowering burnout and provides tools to decrease imposter syndrome, have the courage to challenge often opposing demands, and lower the risk of leaving an already strapped profession.
We build career-long leadership skills.
Traditional medical education lacks adequate training in the leadership skills necessary to develop leaders who have the vision to create innovative solutions to the challenging issues in health care.
We aim to decrease burnout.
Without formalized support in personal development, students facing the rigors of clinical training will experience a deterioration in their sense of compassion, fulfillment, and humanity, placing them at high risk for burnout.
Advanced Coaching Program exclusively for medical students.
Medical students begin by participating in a kickoff workshop that is sponsored by the medical school. Afterwards, students have the opportunity to choose an executive coach who is experienced in guiding them through the rigors of medical school.
Our medical student Fellows learn the benefits of having a coach, what is expected of them during the program, and actively participate in a six-session, one-on-one coaching engagement to prepare for life-long careers as healthy, happy, successful physicians.
Progressive medical schools offer more than a medical degree.
Many of the most competitive medical schools see the need for leadership development and coaching because they’re invested in their students’ abilities to meet the increasing demands of health care.
They understand that students are more likely to succeed in school and in residency when they’ve developed self-awareness, resilience and self-confidence.
A structured solution to increasing the leadership capacity of medical students.
Onsite workshops facilitated by Dr. Cary
A doctor’s doctor with a physician’s mind and a friend’s heart, Dr. Cary is an executive coach, professional speaker, facilitator and teacher who blends a scientist’s thinking with empathy. She passionately guides physician leaders and medical students toward a healthy, balanced future.
Executive Coaches available coast-to-coast
Fellows of A Whole New Doctor—third-year students—are selected to co-manage the program and share their pointers on maximizing its benefits, as well as how to apply what they have learned.
Time-Sensitive leadership coaching
Students meet with coaches monthly to review goals and manage difficult experiences in a safe, nonjudgmental engagement. A Whole New Doctor is always a completely voluntary commitment for students.
PRE- AND POST-MEASUREMENT INCREASES effectiveness
A pre-engagement questionnaire will be co-designed with the medical school, with our recommendations. The sponsor will distribute the surveys to students and collect them. The same process is executed towards the end of the engagement so results can be measured.
What our Medical students say…
My coach helped me navigate my fears about my professional goals and what I hope to achieve in a career in medicine. We have discussed the ways in which I can find balance, as I prepare for residency.”

In the news: REad OUr REcently published ARticle.
STAT News recently published an article on its website about A Whole New Doctor.
“Coaching and Leadership Training Can Help Med Students Avoid Burnout” details why burnout is one of the biggest problems physicians face today. We believe that addressing it early — in medical school — through coaching gives physicians the tools they need to maintain balance and meaning in their personal and professional lives.
