Consultation
What this is
A sixty-minute session. One hour. Build around your specific situation — details of contracts to question, your numbers, your next move, what to ask, how to ask, how to gather more information.
We will share the playbook on working on your own terms.
Understanding the Independent Physician Model pathway.
This is not a webinar. Not a course. Not a group call.
One surgeon. One team. One conversation.
You arrive with questions. Wondering if there is a different way. A contract arrived. A decision needs to be made.
You leave knowing exactly what you are getting into— or exactly why you should not.
You leave with a piece of mind.
We want you to know what is on the other side of a traditional medical career path.
Who it is for
Residents interviewing, interested in alternative career paths, those with offers on the table and no one to ask. General transitional advice.
Attendings who signed a contract five years ago and realize it was structured against them. Wondering if there is a different way.
Anyone at a decision point with a specific contract, a specific number, or a specific question that the tools alone cannot resolve.
A contract on the table. A non-compete radius you do not understand. A salary that sounds right but the math says different. A timeline to plan. A decision to make before the deadline passes.
If you are looking for general education, start with the Free Tools. If you have a specific questions in front of you right now — this is for you.
What it costs
$500 for one hour.
No packages. No retainers. No ongoing commitment.
How to book
Complete payment. Select your time on the next screen. You will receive a confirmation email with the calendar link and a short intake form.
Before we meet:
Fill out the intake form. One page. It tells us what you are working through so I can prepare.
Bring the contract or the document you need clarity on. Screenshots work. PDF works. Email it to the intake form link.
Come with the specific question. "Should I sign this?" is the right question. "What should I do with my career?" is better answered through the tools and the articles first. We use the sixty minutes on the decision in front of you right now and the implications for your time and money.
What to Expect
The session is structured. We walk through the situation systematically. We point out what matters and what does not. We talk about the language you do not understand and the terms that may cost you money. By the end you will know the options, and you understand a new game plan and a new playbook moving forward.
