Meet Dr Elisabeth Hall; a physician who truly understands what it means to juggle focus, emotions, and everyday challenges of like as a doctor—because she’s lived it herself.

With her own experience as a physician with ADHD, Dr Hall brings compassion and expertise to her work, helping doctors strengthen their executive functioning skills—the abilities to problem-solve, stay organized, manage emotions, and adapt to change.

Through workshops offered by our Physician Health Program (PHP), she supports physicians -with and without ADHD- to feel more focused, balanced, and resilient—in their practice and beyond.
