"Coaching Physicians for Personal & Professional Success"
Ralph S. Smith, Jr. Physician Coach

My credo is "coaching physicians for personal and professional success." I have been fortunate to have a wide experience in medicine. Physicians are a special group of people who have dedicated their lives to helping others in the most fundamental way - their health. They can sometimes neglect themselves in their zeal to help others. Coaching can be of great help in these circumstances.
My wife of 34 years, Teresa, works with me, and is originally from the Philippines. She is a Psychologist and also a Coach. I am sensitive to intercultural communication issues and work well with physicians who are international graduates or who have spouses originally from other countries.
I am a Certified Teleclass Leader and Certified Strategist. I am also a pilot, with commercial, instrument, multiengine, instructor, instrument instructor and multiengine instructor ratings, an FAA Medical Examiner and a Brigadier General (Ret.) in the WV Air National Guard.
