Are you working more in exchange for less?
Miserable M.D. is a short, easy to enact system for battling burnout and improving your professional life. This is physician-to-physician training built for the real world.
You always wanted to be a doctor, and now you are. So why are you miserable?
Curing cancer, fixing broken bones, caring for sick kids, treating patients with multiple chronic diseases...these things don't bother us. We are pros at that.The problem lies in the systems, processes, and operational activities that go along with caring for patients. This is what wastes our time. This is why we pull our hair out. This is what drives us to consider early retirement and question if it is all worth it. This is not what you signed up for.You didn't go into medicine to:
Do data entry and live in EMR hell
Fight with insurance
Deal with micromanagement and administrative overload
Do more work each year for less and less pay
Deal with more red tape, more inefficiency and have less autonomy
The better question is how could you not be miserable?
INTRODUCING
Miserable M.D.
The course is a burnout-proof operating system for clinicians who want to reclaim their time, identity, and inner fire in a broken system. This email-based 10-day challenge is a blueprint to a more sustainable, fulfilling medical career.
The course is high-yield, practical and instantly actionable (in just 10 min/day)
LET’S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
01
How to build more freedom and independence into your day, even in a huge healthcare organization.
You’ll learn how to minimize the red tape & bureaucracy you are drowning in currently… and replace it with a new framework you can immediately put into practice.
02
How to thrive even with imperfect systems, ineffective leadership and negative trends.
Start to reclaim your agency with the Momentum Method. Learn to identify fake work. Go on the offensive, take ownership and be proactive. No longer a passenger along for the ride, paddling faster and faster just to keep up.
03
Create a plan to navigate your career and make big decisions with more clarity and confidence.
Easy-to-follow prompts and hard-hitting questions clarify what you really want out of your profession. Get unstuck by knowing all your options and when to enact each one. Put boundaries into place to get back pockets of time to spend with family, friends or on your hobbies.
04
Design your professional life to include more purpose and meaning.
You went into medicine to help people. Hoping to take advantage of your intellect, compassion and your persistence; you imagined a career filled with purpose and gratitude. Learn how to bring this closer to reality and how to bring small moments of joy back into your professional life.
05
Stop waiting for life to begin.
When I get into med school…If I just get through residency…When I get my first real job…When I get my loans paid off… If I just make more money… It never ends. Finally, learn to watch out for the dangerous lie of “when I achieve X, I will feel Y.”Through this course you will build a new C.O.S. - Clinical Operating System. This guide will serve you throughout your career.
Somewhere we got off trackSarah was the cream of the crop.Straight A's. Go-getter. Over-achiever. Gunner.Pulling all-nighters. Putting in the work. Taking action.Determined, driven, on a mission.She couldn't be stopped. She would not settle.Eager, excited, alive.Something happened to herToday, she drifts through her days on autopilot.Enduring, gritting her teeth, settling.A cog in an incomprehensible system.She is demoralized and dejected. Uninspired.Counting down the hours, the minutes, and the days.Dreading the next call shift. Living for the weekend.Not burned out, but barely above water. She is MISERABLE.Sarah is a "leader." She sits on committees, speaks locally and nationally, teaches, does research, puts out fires all day and helps make policies.But nothing changes.Healthcare draws the brightest, most compassionate and driven people in the world. People like Sarah. So why is it this way? Why are things not better?We fell in line. We got comfortable. We succumbed to dogma. We accepted the limitations. We tolerated status quo. We stayed stuck in student mode.Once upon a time, we were ready to take on the world. We were hopeful, resilient and oh-so-motivated. Everything was possible. We were going to make a difference.We think it's that time again.To stop chasing things we don't even really want. To recognize that we have more agency and more options than we think. To find a win-win solution where we provide excellent patient care and get what we desire out of medicine.
The goal is better, not perfect. This course is based in reality. It's the No-B.S. way to become less miserable.
Who's It For?
Physicians. But also NPs, PAs, RNs, DDS, PsyD, PharmD, OT, PT, and anyone who cares for patients in a clinical setting.

Large organization or solo practitioner.
Any specialty. Primary care, Surgery, Medicine, Radiology, Cosmetic Dermatology, OB...
Anyone who wants real-world tactics instead of HR noise, rehashing of stats & theoretical clinical data or being told to "be more resilient" while nothing changes.
Why It Matters

TESTIMONIALS
REVIEWS FROM PAST STUDENTS
"This is what we should have learned in medical school. Whether you are on the verge of quitting medicine or just struggling to find happiness in your days, this course will give you the boost you need."
Maria, Endocrinologist
"The wake up call I needed to break out of the rut I was stuck in. I never thought all the burnout messaging applied to me, I just keep telling myself things are ok, i can tolerate this but knowing deep down things could be alot better. No matter what you call it, this short course really helped!"
Dr Patel, Surgery
"I liked that the course didn't try to tell you what to do. The questions and exercises cut to the core of the issue and let you reflect and create your own solutions. I appreciated that it didn't try to teach me yoga, breathing, taking an hour lunch break or other unrealistic solutions"
Calum, P.A.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the course start?
The course starts on the first Monday after you purchase it. The Challenge runs for 10 days, Monday - Friday for two weeks.
How long do I have access to the content?
You can keep the emails and tools forever. The course is meant to help you build a Clinical Operating System that you can use over and over throughout your medical career.
Can I use CME or continuing education / book funds for this course?
Most organizations will reimburse for this course. Many of our students use CME funds as it is true professional development. We will give you a receipt and a certificate of completion (just in case the bookkeepers need it).
Do you offer CME?
Most physician professional development is sterile, bureaucratic, and woefully out of touch. They are focused on compliance, not creativity. CME is typically nothing more than checking a box or jumping through a hoop. That is why we M.D.'s try to get it done as quickly and painlessly as possible. Listening on 2x speed, skipping the reading to get to the questions... Traditional CME lacks personality or real talk, and most importantly, it bores the hell out of the very people it claims to serve. This is not that. So we do not offer CME. We like the freedom to say what we want and to focus entirely on what is most useful, rather than fulfilling arbitrary criteria.
Do you offer refunds on the course?
We do not offer refunds on the Miserable M.D. 10-day Challenge. At PracticeGuide, we work hard to build a reputation for delivering high-quality products. We are confident in the value this email-based course provides and so all sales are final. This policy allows us to maintain the integrity of the course and focus on delivering the best experience possible to those ready to engage fully.
Is this only for physicians? I am a N.P. and I am miserable just like you describe.
Absolutely not. This course is designed for anyone who takes care of patients. M.D., D.O., P.A., N.P., D.D.S., PsyD, PharmD, O.T., P.T., whatever your acronym or title, if you spend your days caring for patients this course is for you.
