About Pink Coat, MD

Pink Coat, MD was created by two Ivy-League friends, Dr. Tammie Chang and Dr. Luisa Duran, who first met as Freshmen at Brown University nearly 25 years ago. Both first generation Americans and born into immigrant families, Drs. Tammie and Luisa are incredibly compassionate souls who felt called to serve others as physicians from a young age. They dedicated their lives to becoming the very best physicians only to discover they would suffer silently from physician burnout and isolation, and consider leaving medicine far too soon. Determined not to give up on their childhood dreams, they discovered a path toward empowerment and wellness through evidence-based resources like personal growth, leadership development, and most importantly, community. After learning that countless other women physicians were struggling in silence and leaving the medical profession, they created Pink Coat, MD to help women physicians thrive – and ensure the same for all future generations of young women in medicine.

Arlen Moller is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Cornell University (2000), and master’s degree and Ph.D. degree in social and personality psychology from the University of Rochester (2004 and 2007, respectively). His primary research interest involves promoting healthy lifestyle changes that last across multiple health behaviors. This work frequently involves using and developing theories of human motivation and emotion (self-determination theory; social identity theories) and digital technologies (e.g., wearables, virtual reality, video games). Because this research is often cross-disciplinary (involving collaborations with scholars in design, engineering, computer sciences, humanities, and medicine), Moller is committed to learning more about how to do team science well. He is an active member of the Society of Behavioral Medicine and serves on the editorial board of the Center for Self-Determination Theory.
