BioDr. Pam Pappas is an integrative psychiatrist, classical
homeopath, and certified personal and executive coach. Semi-retired
from medical practice, she focuses full-time on coaching physicians
and other creative souls as they transform stress and burnout into
wholehearted living, working, and leading.
After graduating from Wake Forest University School of Medicine,
Dr. Pappas completed her residency in Psychiatric Medicine. She later
served a fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Duke
University Medical Center, and is also a graduate of Dr. Andrew Weil's
Fellowship in Integrative Medicine. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic
Medicine as well as the American
Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
A graduate of American Medical
College of Homeopathy's 1000+ hour Homeopathic Practitioner
Program, Dr. Pappas has continued many years' post-graduate
homeopathic studies with multiple highly experienced homeopathic
teachers. She also served for over a decade as faculty consultant and
mentor for physicians attending AMCH's Distance Learning Homeopathy Program.
Supporting fellow physicians has been Dr. Pappas' career-long
passion. Beyond treating them as a psychiatrist, she became a
multiply-certified coach to better assist them preventively. She's a
graduate of Duke's Integrative Health Coaching program, a certified
Executive Coach through the Center for Executive Coaching, and also a
Physician Burnout Prevention and Leadership Coach trained with
TheHappyMD.com. As a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator with Dr. Brené
Brown, she helps others develop courage, resilience, and more
authentic living. She believes keeping patients healthy requires
healthy physicians who embody the Quadruple Aim on personal, team, and
organizational levels. A trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion,
she finds that these practices help antidote the shame and other
suffering many physicians experience in their medical training and
beyond. Her aim is helping medical teams cultivate empathy,
creativity, innovation, growth, and harmony while navigating the
complexities and uncertainty in healthcare today.
