Steve Adelman, MD has worked as an effective and empathic leader in a major academic medical center, on the board and in the delivery system of a large multispecialty medical group, and at the helm of a nationally renowned physician health program.  Trained at Harvard (summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa), Penn Medical School, and Harvard’s McLean Hospital (chief resident), he is an experienced medical leader, as well as a seasoned psychiatrist, a highly-regarded addiction expert, and a practicing thought leader in physician coaching.

At AdelMED, Steve Adelman, MD delivers a range of targeted and expert consultative and improvement services to physicians, leaders, teams, and organizations.  AdelMED’s mission is to enhance individual and group performance by piecing together the human puzzle and putting into action an effective plan that aligns with the mission and promotes the well-being of each stakeholder.

Individuals

Our initial goal is to determine mutual compatibility and to help you decide if the AdelMED approach is right for you.  Please contact us and we’ll promptly schedule a free and confidential introductory phone meeting or videoconference that lasts 20-30 minutes.  Most AdelMED individual clients are dedicated and accomplished leaders or professionals with a desire to optimize performance and well-being.  If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule one or two consultative videoconference sessions to drill down on the particulars.  At this point, we’ll decide together whether or not AdelMED coaching is a good fit for you.  If not, we will review with you at least two other viable alternatives to consider.

The following services are available on a limited basis: Psychotherapy; recovery coaching; supervision; psychiatry and addiction medicine.  Dr. Adelman does not accept health insurance and fees are available upon request.

Organizations

AdelMED assists organizations with any of the following concerns: behavioral or performance challenges of specific employees, teams, departments, or leaders; or, an enterprise-wide initiative.  Enterprise-wide initiatives may involve (but are not limited to) professional health, well-being, and burnout; coaching; retention and turnover of health professionals; substance use, misuse, policies or testing; or, health-related medicolegal challenges.

Depending on the situation,  AdelMED’s work with an organization may involve:

  • A brief consultation (2-4 sessions)
  • A more extended consulting role
  • A mutually agreed-upon plan for team, group, or organizational coaching.

By the end of our free and confidential introductory phone meeting, we’ll determine whether or not it makes sense for us to schedule a consultation. Contact us to get started.
