PurposeRx: Clinician Career & Well-Being Coaching
As a healthcare professional, you’ve taken care of so many. Now, it’s time to take care of you. Rediscover purpose in medicine—and in life
What is PurposeRx?
PurposeRx is a physician-led coaching program for healthcare professionals navigating burnout, career uncertainty, and life transitions.
As physicians and clinicians, we’re trained to care tirelessly for others, often at the expense of our own health, relationships, meaning, and sense of self. Over time, the work that once felt like a calling can begin to feel heavy, misaligned, or unsustainable.
You may be feeling burned out, questioning your career path, recovering from moral injury, navigating leadership stress, or wondering whether there’s another way to practice medicine—and live your life—with greater alignment and authenticity.
PurposeRx offers a structured yet personalized space to pause, reflect, and move forward intentionally. Michael Spertus, MD blends career and life coaching techniques, mind-body tools, meaning-centered reflection, and practical strategy to help you:
Recover from burnout and chronic stress
Clarify career transitions or leadership decisions
Reconnect with meaning and purpose
Navigate identity shifts inside and outside of medicine
Build a more sustainable and fulfilling life and career
Recovering from burnout isn’t just about doing less or learning to “relax.”
It’s about remembering who you are—and what matters most.

Why choose coaching with Michael Spertus?
Physician + Coach: I understand the unique pressures of medicine because I’ve lived them. I’m a practicing physician and a Certified Professional Coach (FIA), trained to help clients create meaningful personal and professional change.
I’ve been there myself: I’ve experienced burnout, moral injury, stress-related health symptoms, and career uncertainty at multiple points in my own journey, from medical training to later stages of my career. This work is deeply personal.
Leadership experience in clinician well-being: As the former Chief Well-Being Officer/Chief Clinician Well-Being Officer at the Miami VA Healthcare System, I’ve supported physicians, clinicians, and healthcare leaders navigating burnout, workplace stress, leadership challenges, and systemic pressures.
Whole-person approach: My background in integrative medicine, mind-body medicine, Whole Health, mindfulness, and yoga teaching allows us to address not just career decisions, but also the stress, identity shifts, nervous system patterns, and deeper questions that often accompany them.
Practical + meaningful: Our work combines reflection, strategy, accountability, and deeper purpose exploration so you can make aligned decisions and create sustainable change.
A space where you don’t have to perform: This is a confidential space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and explore what comes next without judgment.
