Meet Dr. Michelle Mudge-Riley

Dr. Michelle Mudge-Riley founded Physicians Helping Physicians, which serves the physicians who are interested in figuring out how to make their career work for them. The community is unique because it’s not a “cookie cutter” approach to career transition or strategy.

Every doctor is different and is coming from a different place. Some are 1-2 years or more out of residency and others have been in private practice for 10 years or more before finding this community. It’s been her experience that 80-90% of the time, physicians who work with this community will have clear focus and career direction within 6-8 months. Most doctors have been struggling with this on their own for years, if not decades.

Being part of this nonclinical community is simple – there is no travel involved and there is support and communication with us. She serves as a physician mentor and you work together as physician colleagues, as do many of the other physicians you will read about, watch or hear from.

She help you identify where it is you want to be, but more importantly, she will guide you through the practicalities of how to get there. She can help you find ways to revitalize your current career in medicine or diversify yourself with non-clinical options or a completely non-clinical career.
