About PhysicianCareerPlanning.com
Career decisions deserve thoughtful preparation
PhysicianCareerPlanning.com provides practical education and tools for residents, fellows, and physicians considering a first position, a career move, or a change in practice.
A position affects more than your salary. It shapes your clinical work, schedule, colleagues, family life, community, and long-term career. We help physicians clarify what matters to them, ask better questions, and evaluate opportunities in that context.

A resource for your career and life decisions
PhysicianCareerPlanning.com brings together an assessment, a searchable Resource Library, interview preparation, and the Career and Life Planning Guidebook for Medical Residents. These resources help physicians prepare for interviews, understand compensation and employment terms, and compare the factors that influence a career decision.
The goal is to help you make an informed decision based on your own priorities. The assessment does not favor a particular employer, location, community type, or practice setting.
