About Caleb

My name is Caleb Choi and I am an Improvement Consultant at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. I have been in this position for nearly 3 years and received my Master in Health Administration prior to that from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have experience in coaching undergraduate students seeking admission into healthcare-related graduate programs, graduate students beginning the internship or job search process, and early careerists looking for guidance on career goals and aspirations. I have a structured framework focused on refining existing skills and goal-setting to support getting you to where you want to be. Clients I have worked with in the past have gone on to get into programs such as Rush University, and organizations such as Northwestern Medicine, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, UChicago Medicine and more.

Why do I coach?

Coaching matters to myself because I lacked having any coaches early in my career and looking back, I realize how impactful a coach/mentor would have been in my career. Providing support to people who were in the same exact position I was in just a few years ago as an inexperienced and confused healthcare early careerist is something I have always had a passion for and it's been more fulfilling than I could have imagined. After doing this for 2-3 years, guiding clients to success because of my learnings is one of the best feelings there is and I'm excited to continue this! Finding a coach/mentor can be a daunting and overwhelming task so I am here to make that process as seamless and comfortable as possible. Coaching a two-way street so I always find I benefit off this process just as much as you do. Take that leap and reach out to me as a coach - you will not regret it!
