About our work.
HelixMD is a physician support framework that addresses the real co-morbidities of physician leadership fatigue: lack of development, laissez-faire support, and loss of professional identity. It combines assessment, guided recovery work, leadership development, and dedicated physician coaching into one integrated eco-system that speaks the language of physicians.
-
Built from a decade of qualitative research with physician leaders
-
Designed for practicing clinicians stepping into or already in leadership roles
-
Focused on systemic causes, not just individual "resilience"
​​
HelixMD was created to address one of healthcare’s most urgent challenges: empowering physician leaders while fostering well-being. Drawing on years of leading physician leadership development, CME program innovation, and collaborative research on physician wellness and burnout, we recognized a critical gap, practicing clinicians needed actionable, evidence-based tools for navigating today’s complex healthcare landscape.
​
HelixMD brings together rigorously designed assessments, targeted learning modules, and practical wellness resources, all grounded in real-world experience and academic insight. With a proven track record in both hospital systems and research, we are passionate about supporting clinicians where it matters most: at the intersection of your calling, leadership, and lasting professional growth.​

The problem: three co-morbidities
When leadership fatigue isn't just burn out.
Burn out is often the presenting symptom, but beneath it are three co-morbidities that keep physician leaders exhausted and feeling stuck.
HelixMD helps you name these patterns, understand their impact, and take steps that treats the causes, not just the symptoms.
Not another resilience program
HelixMD is grounded in the lived experiences and research with physician leaders who described leadership as isolating, confusing, and at times traumatic. Instead of asking you to simply "be more resilient," HelixMD:
-
Names the systematic conditions driving leadership fatigue
-
Normalizes what you're experiencing as a predictable response to unhealthy structures
-
Offers tools that integrate leadership skill-building with identify, meaning, and recovery
​​
You are not the problem. But you can be part of the solution with the right framework and support.
​
Whether you're considering leadership, already in the role, or wondering if its time to step away, HelixMD offers a structured way to understand what's happening, why, and chart a healthier plan forward.
