About Me

After graduating in medicine at East Carolina University, I completed my Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, NC.

I have been a physician since 2009 and have been Board Certified Ob/GYN by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

After joining my first practice post-residency, I quickly became involved in leadership roles related to all aspects of the practice and the business part of the practice.

After 5 years of various leadership roles, I became the lead physician and chair of the women’s service line for the hospital.

As my new position was announced, one of my peer physicians jokingly said that I was going to the dark side.

While this statement was only a joke, it shows that there is a tremendous disconnect between leaders and physicians.

I later discovered that this disconnect is present across many healthcare institutions and made it my mission to change this. 

Today, I work with individual leaders, as well as organizations to put an end to this issue.

I coach leaders and their teams to work together efficiently, increase employee engagement, and ultimately, make healthcare better for everyone.

This will be different for everybody, depending on your current situation and set of leadership skills. 

The goal of executive coaching is to make you a better leader, help you connect with patient-care, and help you run an engaged and effective team. 

With an effective and engaged team, you will produce far better results, and patients will love your team.

I usually help individuals with the following problems:

  • It feels like there is a disconnect between you and physicians…
  • You have trouble getting your point across to the people you lead…
  • You have trouble understanding physicians’ situations…
  • You have trouble understanding the emotions and behavior of the people you’re working with…

However, coaching can be tailored to your specific problems and needs. Usually, I can help with almost any challenge you’re facing – as long as it is related to leadership and communication.

Executive Coaching For Excellence.

Engaged teams, satisfied patients, and effective collaboration through better leadership.

The Pocket Bridges Mission

After five years of healthcare leadership roles, I became the lead physician and chair of the hospital’s women’s service line.

As my new leadership position was announced, one of my peer physicians joked that I was going to the dark side.

While this was only a joke, little did I know that it would be planting seeds for Pocket Bridges.

Over the next year of leading a team, I realized three crucial facts:

  1. Most providers feel like administration is out of touch and does not understand their unique environment.

     

  2. Most administrative leaders struggle to build a connection with providers for various reasons.

     

  3. This disconnect is pervasive and across many healthcare institutions. It is holding effective collaboration back, and most leaders are not even aware of it.
 

Highly effective healthcare organizations have administrative leaders who are trusted and understood by their peers and providers alike.

When trust and understanding are broken, friction builds, and it leads to unengaged, unmotivated physicians.

The end results are problems with patient satisfaction and high employee turnover.

 

With Pocket Bridges, I help healthcare executives become better leaders not just by increasing their leadership skills but also by giving them my unique physician perspective.

I hope to be your leadership advisor and coach that you have in your back pocket to help “bridge” the gap between medicine and administration.

 

Dr. Rachel Miller,

What People Say

Dr. Miller is a wonderful coach. She was able to help me see clearly and move past fears about recent transitions that were occurring in my life. Discussing with her as a neutral party allowed me to voice concerns without fear of being judged by others for my choices. As a result of her coaching, I was able to clearly see what I wanted those transitions to look like and how to implement that with my family!

RN-C
I have been fortunate enough to work with Dr. Miller in a leadership capacity for 2 years. As I stepped into a new leadership role in a new organization, I sought out Dr. Miller to assist, advise, and coach me as I transitioned into a new career. Dr. Miller created a balance between coaching, mentoring, informing, and challenging that helped me create the right relationships with our Physician team. This allowed us to move key strategic initiatives forward in a much more effective manner. Dr. Miller helped us grow the Women’s department, in two short years, to not only meeting goals but exceeding them. With her help personally, I have been able to recognize where I could improve my own leadership style. She has helped me find balance in my work and home life. I wish I had found Dr. Miller earlier in my career.

Sr. Practice Administrator Women's Health
Words to describe Dr. Miller - Flexible. Intuitive. Responsive. Caring. Dr. Miller was an invaluable source of advice, motivation, and guidance. She helped me clarify my thoughts and emotions during my career transition and identify what I needed to do to move forward. She helped me see hope by breaking down the steps I needed to take into more manageable steps. We worked on the best methods of articulating my strengths, identifying my weaknesses, and being able to support and fulfill my new career goals and objectives. She was supportive, candid, and provided healthy debates to guide me through my decision-making process. What I found most helpful about Dr. Miller’s coaching was her ability to help me see the real me!
