Choosing a specialty or fellowship

Test which fields and subspecialties actually fit the life and income you want. Before you commit years.

Comparing job offers and cities

Put two offers side by side: total comp, $/wRVU vs the Medicare floor, call, and geography-adjusted pay.

Testing income, call, and lifestyle fit

Price your target life, then see which paths can fund it without the call burden you can't sustain.

Your decision memo

A personalized career and lifestyle decision memo for physicians.

A different report for each decision: medicine fit, specialty choice, fellowship ROI, a path comparison, a job offer, or an attending pivot. The Free Career Diagnosis comes first; premium access adds the full report generator and premium data tools across the site.

Every figure is a modeled estimate or a labeled public-data proxy. Never a salary promise, and never an individual physician's income. Medicare and Open Payments data are public proxies, not take-home pay.
