“My experience with LifeBridge was amazing. I reached prior to the pandemic when I was feeling some symptoms of burn out. I was immediately matched with Dr. Joann Schaefer and that began a very good interaction with an amazing physician who I felt I had much in common with. She knew exactly where I was coming from and we worked on many things related to my feelings of burn out but also professional development.
Any physician can reach out to the program and they will match you with another physician who has skills in helping with your situation. It can be a big problem or a small problem that you just would like someone to listen. Thanks so much for this opportunity”

“She [Joann Schaefer, MD, LifeBridge coach] made me aware of factors I would not have considered, and offered thoughtful, practical and comfortable guidance to step back from full time.”
