Mahmooda Qureshi, MD, MSCP, DipABLM

I am an experienced primary care physician at MGH and consultant at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine, the Midlife and Menopause clinic / Division of Women’s Health at BWH, and an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School. My medical degree is from the University of London, UK, Residency and Women’s Health Fellowship from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and coach certification from Wellcoaches. I’ve had the pleasure of being a PCP at the Cleveland Clinic, Brockton Hospital, Harvard Vanguard, and now at Bulfinch Medical Group, MGH. I am the Co-director of Primary Care Internal Medicine, and the co-creator and Director of Women’s Health and Menopause, Harvard Medical School continuing education courses.

In essence, my passion is to help people flourish in ways they find meaningful.

Hobbies include traveling, outdoor activities, art, and gardening. My family, friends and cats bring me joy, especially my two teenagers who keep my coaching skills sharp. I grew up in Pakistan, Uganda, Egypt, and Italy, and the US is now home. I am fascinated by how people’s cultures affect their thriving.

Several years ago, I was coached by a physician-coach and was transformed from burnout to rekindling my passion for medicine, and onto thriving on my own terms. Since then, I have coached residents, APPs, physicians, faculty and more, coaching them to thrive aligned with their strengths and values.

Being a physician-coach has been an immense asset when coaching physicians and healthcare workers. Coaching lends itself to any situation, though areas of coaching that appeal to me are self-care/work-life balance; individualized career growth, be it when feeling stuck, leadership development, or when excitement and opportunity abound and requires individualized focus; exploring your life's purpose to live a life of meaning; burnout; career transition; and achieving your best life. Although I coach non-physicians and outside of MGB, coaching physicians in our system is particularly rewarding. I look forward to being your coach to explore your strengths, values, needs, and catalyze your transformation.
