Rob Orman, MD, spent twenty years working as a community emergency physician. He earned his medical degree at Emory University and completed his emergency medicine residency at Denver Health Medical Center, where he served as chief resident. Those years on shift still shape how he works and thinks about medicine.
Rob now works with physicians across specialties and career stages, especially when burnout, inefficiency, strained relationships, or getting stuck begin to affect their work or their lives. He has logged thousands of hours coaching doctors and brings a practical approach that comes from having done the job himself. He is an ICF-certified coach trained through the Center for Executive Coaching and Positive Intelligence.
In addition to his coaching work, Rob has a background in medical education and communication. He served as chief editor of EM:RAP, created the Stimulus and ERcast podcasts, and for nearly a decade hosted Essentials of Emergency Medicine, the largest single-track emergency medicine conference in the world. He was also a technical advisor on the Emmy-winning HBO series The Pitt.
His work centers on helping physicians think more clearly about their work and make changes that allow them to stay in medicine without grinding themselves down.
