Hi, I’m Dr. Michelle Bailey
I help physicians gain clarity, explore their options, and confidently take the next step, whether you decide to stay, leave, or reimagine medicine.
You Don’t Have to Choose Between Medicine and Your Life
Create a career and a life you love, on your terms.
Before You Leave (or Stay): Pause. Reflect. Realign.
Get your free guide and start your transition with clarity—so, every decision moves you toward the life and career you want.
Why You’re Here
You’re a dedicated physician who’s given so much to your patients, but:
The demands of clinical work are draining you.
You wonder if there’s more you could do with your medical degree.
You’re not sure how to start exploring nonclinical options without risking your reputation, income, or professional identity.
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out in isolation.
My Story
I’m Dr. Michelle Bailey, a pediatrician who spent 21 years in clinical practice before making the leap into a thriving nonclinical career where I’m now serving as an Executive Medical Director in a global contract research organization.
I know the doubts, fears, and questions that swirl when you start thinking about leaving clinical medicine.
I also know the freedom, fulfillment, and joy that’s possible when you align your work with the life you truly want to live.
Today, through Physician Careers Reimagined, I help physicians like you:
Get clear on your values and priorities.
Discover career options you never learned about in training.
Build the confidence and strategy to make your next move — without unnecessary struggle – whether you decide to leave clinical medicine or stay.
