Meet Dr. Michelle Bailey

‘‘I’ve Been Where You Are — and I Can Help You Find Your Way Forward’’

Hello and welcome. I’m Dr. Michelle Bailey, physician executive, certified coach, and founder of Physician Careers Reimagined.

After 20+ years in medicine, I transitioned from a busy pediatric practice into a Medical Director role with a global contract research organization, specializing in pediatric and rare disease clinical trials.

I’ve since been promoted twice as a result of successfully leveraging my clinical expertise and now serve as an Executive Medical Director.

I also built a thriving coaching practice helping physicians explore nonclinical careers.

My approach blends:

  • Real-world industry experience — I know how to navigate the shift from clinical to nonclinical work because I’ve done it myself.

  • Evidence-based coaching — trained through The Life Coach School and Duke Integrative Health Coaching Program.

  • Fierce compassion — I create a safe, judgment-free space for you to reflect, explore, and grow.

My mission is simple:

To help physicians find clarity, confidence, and a career path that supports both their professional goals and personal well-being.
