Physician Keynote Speaker on Performance and Sustainable Careers
Practical talks for healthcare organizations, medical groups, conferences, and leadership programs.
Healthcare professionals are expected to deliver excellent care, lead teams, adapt to constant change, and keep being present with focus.
Physicians do not need another talk that tells them to be resilient without addressing the reality of the work.
Dr. Erin Seefeldt speaks to healthcare audiences about physician performance, burnout prevention, leadership, clinical efficiency, and career sustainability.
As a physician performance coach, ophthalmologist, and Associate Professor, she brings a practical perspective to the conversations many healthcare professionals are already having behind closed doors.

That perspective helps her connect with medical audiences in a way that feels relevant and useful.
Her talks are designed for healthcare professionals who want practical ideas they can apply to their work, leadership, and professional lives.

Speaking for Healthcare Organizations and Professional Audiences
This is designed for physicians and healthcare professionals who want deeper, individualized support over time. Because the work is intensive, 1:1 coaching is limited and available after an interview.
The minimum engagement is six months, so the coaching process has enough time to develop from surface-level problem-solving and into sustained change.

Why Book Dr. Erin Seefeldt?A Voice Who Understands the Room
Physicians can tell when a talk is built around theory instead of lived experience.
Erin brings the perspective of someone who knows the pressure of clinic, surgery, academic medicine, and patient care.
She speaks to aspects of the work many physicians are already discussing: the loss of control, stress that follows them home, frustration of inefficient systems, and the question of what success is supposed to be after training.
Her talks give healthcare audiences practical language for what they are experiencing and a way to think about change that feels realistic inside medicine.
