The inner skills every clinician deserves, but few were ever taught.
Medicine taught you how to diagnose disease, interpret lab values, and manage complex patients. It probably didn’t teach you how to navigate uncertainty, recover from difficult shifts, communicate through conflict, protect your own well-being, or build a career you can still love twenty years from now.
Staying Human in Healthcare was written to fill that gap.
Drawing on more than three decades as a physician associate, evidence from applied positive psychology, and years of coaching healthcare professionals, this book offers a practical framework for helping clinicians flourish without sacrificing themselves in the process.
Whether you’re a student, resident, PA, NP, physician, nurse, or an experienced clinician who feels disconnected from the work you once loved, this book provides practical tools to help you reconnect with yourself, your patients, and the reasons you entered healthcare.
After more than 30 years practicing medicine, I realized something surprising. The hardest part of being a clinician isn’t usually the medicine. It’s everything else.
Learning how to receive feedback. Managing difficult personalities. Living with uncertainty. Feeling like you belong. Leading teams. Navigating conflict. Protecting your own humanity while caring for everyone else’s. These are not “soft skills.” They’re survival skills.
My hope is that this book becomes the curriculum many of us wish we’d received at the beginning of our careers.
These principles are organized around the REVAMP™ Framework, an evidence-informed model adapted from positive psychology specifically for healthcare professionals.

When I graduated from PA school more than thirty years ago, I believed that mastering medicine would be enough.
It wasn’t.
Over the years, I learned that flourishing in healthcare depends on skills that are rarely taught: how to regulate your emotions under pressure, cultivate meaningful relationships, recover from setbacks, and stay connected to your purpose.
Those lessons changed not only how I practiced medicine, but how I experienced it. I wrote Staying Human in Healthcare because I believe every clinician deserves those skills, not after decades of trial and error, but at the very beginning of their career. My hope is that this book helps you build a career that is not only successful but deeply sustainable and deeply human.
