About - Physicians Beyond the Bedside™

Hi, I’m Norm Chapin, MD, MBA. I’m an experienced physician executive and coach. I help physicians interested in transitioning to full time or part time non-clinical leadership roles either within the healthcare industry or external to healthcare so they can have a clear strategy for a successful transition to achieve personal satisfaction and professional goals.

I’m an experienced physician executive with over 30 years of clinical and administrative experience in various healthcare settings. I’m passionate about coaching and mentoring physicians interested in transitioning to full time or part time non-clinical roles either within the healthcare industry or external to healthcare. I have served as a COO for an emergency medicine management company, CMO for several hospitals, Vice-president of ambulatory quality for a large multispecialty medical group, Vice-president of system quality and safety for a multi-hospital system, along with numerous medical staff positions and other administrative roles.

Norman Chapin, MD is one most skilled people I have ever worked with. His ability to take very difficult and challenging problems or situations and focus right to the elements, identify the options for solution, and then to communicate his analysis of the problem and the best solution to all the parties impacted or needed for implementation are second to none.

Norm has a unique combination of candor, inspiration, approachability, and leadership which is evident to all. Norm has the rare combination of courage, curiosity, and humility to drive the organization past familiar boundaries despite his colleague's strong bias for the status quo.

Norm was a dynamic leader who created synergy and inspired his teams to achieve their goals. Norm was a motivated and passionate leader who worked tirelessly until the project was complete and hard wired for success, but was never too busy to answer a question or demonstrate how to work smarter.

With Norm’s strategic view we were able to introduce and implement many provider applications. Under his guidance we successfully implemented many complex clinical programs. Norm is an extremely hard-working executive who can engage and motivate employees in the organization.
