Spring 2021 Graduate
The insights gained and the people I met during this program were extraordinary. I was taught tangible skills to develop my colleagues, partners, and trainees. I connected with an exceptional and diverse group of people from medical institutions around the US and was made better from their experiences and interactions. The mindful approach to coaching through the Spiro model resonated with my approach to life and medicine – I am a better physician, leader, and person for participating in this program!
