Burnout Was the Beginning of Her Journey
Dianne was a practicing anesthesiologist when she went through her own experience with burnout in 2012. It adversely affected every aspect of her life. It ultimately led her to leave clinical practice. But her experience with burnout was the beginning of her journey to creating the happy, fulfilled, purpose-driven life that she lives today.
Dianne was one of the earliest physician peer coaches. From the very beginning, she has found ways to help committed colleagues heal themselves and others. She continues to be at the forefront of physician coaching. Since 2018, she has been training other physicians in The Physician Coaching Academy.
A Desire to Help Committed Colleagues Heal the World
Her mission is to help create a health care system where physician wellness is an integral part of medical practice and where physicians are supported.
I was drawn to coaching through looking for support around my own pain and confusion about the way that I was feeling about work. – Dr. Dianne Ansari-Winn
Dianne has also published a book called Doctor Heal Thyself: A Guide for Physicians to Prevent Burnout and Promote Wellbeing.
