Executive & Career Coaching for Physicians

Dr.  Hurtado is no stranger to burnout nor to the grueling demands of a medical career. With over 27 years in the field, and a large clinical practice at Harvard's Mass General Hospital,  she founded MD Catalyst in 2018 with a distinct purpose: to support and help other physicians struggling to find respite, fulfillment and a way back to  a growth-filled path and out of the depletion and profound exhaustion that so many of us face under the current demands.

 

She holds dual certifications in  Executive Coaching and Wellness coaching (ICF-accredited programs), and maintains a full medical practice. She  is faculty at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health and  has additional training in Negotiation from the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.  In addition to her busy clinical schedule, she serves as an Internal  Physician Coach for the MGH Physician Center for Well-being since 2019. She is well-versed in both individual physician coaching and group coaching for physicians and has led a highly successful series on Career Development  in Boston.

As the  mother of twins, she values the simple yet deep joys of spontaneity and engagement. She is a firm believer in the healing power of nature, family, the arts and our shared humanity.

TESTIMONIALS:

COACHING WITH DR. HURTADO

EXPLORE WHAT IS POSSIBLE

"I had the privilege of receiving Dr. Hurtado’s  coaching during a transition period as I entered the job market for the first time. After several years of training to be a physician scientist I realized that my professional goals had changed from being primarily research-focused to be more clinical- and public health-focused. This career pivot felt overwhelming and challenging. During our insightful sessions, Dr. Hurtado led me through an introspective journey to help me find what brings me the most joy in my work and what an ideal position would look like. She dove deeply into the practical aspects of this career move with me, coaching me on how to have effective conversations with my supervisors and mentors, how to assertively ask for opportunities that match my interests, and how to promote myself, highlighting my skills and added value. During my job search, when a position I was interested in didn’t come to fruition, Dr. Hurtado helped me see how an alternative opportunity could in fact be a better fit for me and open doors for future career development. Ultimately, I was able to secure a position that perfectly matches my interests and skillset.  Dr. Hurtado further helped me negotiate the terms of my contract, ensuring I advocated for flexibility, room for growth, and fair compensation. Dr. Hurtado also helped me manage the family dynamics  navigating the medical job search while balancing your spouse’s career goals. Dr. Hurtado leads by example. She is attentive, responsive, compassionate, and kind. Her own  journey often served as inspiration in my own pursuit of a meaningful career. As I delve into the next chapter of my personal and professional life, I know I couldn’t have done it without the support of Dr. Hurtado." CG, Internal Medicine/Public Health MA
