About
Dr. Shannon M. Foster MD FACS is an advocate and thought-leader in mitigating and navigating the human factors that both help and hinder clinicians and the teams in which they work. As a facilitator, she is results-driven to help her clients overcome obstacles. An awarded communicator and speaker, known for her energy, positivity, and inclusive attitude, Dr. Foster brings clarity to complex, challenging and uncomfortable situations–whether on behalf of an individual provider, or a division or department affected by workplace conflict.
Dr. Foster has herself navigated interpersonal conflict, personnel changes, and divisional, departmental, and hospital reorganization, consolidation and misalignment, and leans on these experiences for the benefit of her facilitation clients.
Dr. Foster serves to teach others meaningful tools to navigate career challenges, but even more importantly, learn how to avoid them. Her one-on-one direct review and counseling goes beyond coaching and mentorship, as she is able to dive deep into both clinical and administrative factors and challenges, and provide resources and tools for growth and mitigation.
