About Allison Abitz, MD
Before I was a physician I worked as an architectural designer at an architecture firm. I earned a Master of Architecture from the University of Minnesota and spent years designing and building real things. Then I made a deliberate choice to go back to school and earn my MD.During anesthesiology residency I independently invented a hybrid video laryngoscope with patents pending and was named Resident Innovator of the Year, while my career and my personal life were unraveling at the same time. I left residency. What I found on the other side was not a breakdown. It was clarity.I now coach physicians whose career and personal life have unraveled and who are ready to build what comes next. I bring an MD, a design background, a research mind, and the lived experience of rebuilding a life from scratch, more than once.Resilience is a swear word in my house. Building what comes next is what we do at The Physician Foundry.
Is this for you?
This is for you if you are still showing up every day but feel like you are slowly disappearing. You are exhausted in a way that a vacation won't fix. You have thought about leaving medicine but have no idea what comes next, or whether leaving is even the right answer. You have been called resilient so many times you have started to believe the exhaustion is just part of the job. Your career and your personal life have unraveled at the same time, and you feel completely alone in it. You are a physician who doesn't fit the mold and never really did.This is not for you if you are looking for a quick fix, a script, or someone to tell you what to do. I will help you figure out what you actually want, and then build a real plan to get there. I am a coach, not a therapist. I don't rehash what happened. I help you build what's next.
What we do together
Working with me starts with a short application. I read every one personally. If it feels like a genuine fit, I'll reach out to schedule a conversation, and we'll go from there.The primary way I work with physicians is through The Foundry, a six-month, one-on-one private coaching program. It is structured across six phases, from where you are right now all the way through to a concrete path forward. Twelve sessions, every two weeks, with email access in between. It is not a course. It is a real coaching relationship.The Foundry is $6,500 paid in full, or $1,200 per month for six months.
If you are not ready for the full program, the workbook is a good place to start. And if you are somewhere in between, we can talk about what makes sense.You spent a decade becoming a physician. You deserve a life that is worth it.
