Real Healthcare Professionals. Real Career Transitions.

Brooke spent years in direct patient care as a psychologist before realizing she needed a change. She took a leap of faith, leaving her position to focus fully on her career transition — and it paid off.

With MatchDay's support, Brooke landed a remote Clinical Quality Assurance Specialist role at BetterHelp with a 27% salary increase. This is actually her second placement through the Fellowship, proving that MatchDay's network and coaching deliver results that compound over time.

Geoffrey made the leap from nursing to a remote Account Manager role at Recora in just under 4 months. He successfully negotiated his offer up by 12% during the process and secured a 19% total compensation increase over his previous role — all while moving out of direct patient care with better work-life balance.

His biggest challenge was overcoming imposter syndrome and the mindset shift of leaving nonprofit work, but by staying proactive, trusting the coaching process, and treating the Fellowship like the investment it is, he landed a role that matched his ambition.

Stacey went from feeling stuck in her PTA role to landing a hybrid Client Services Specialist position at MEDITECH in just 56 days. After experiencing burnout and inconsistent hours in clinical work, she now has a predictable 9-to-5 schedule with flexible PTO — something she calls the best part of her new role.

The Fellowship helped her get organized, overhaul her resume to translate clinical skills, and push past the self-doubt that had her believing she was stuck. She's now out of direct patient care, earning more, and even has the stability to nurture her crochet business on the side.

Emma went from mental health therapist to Director of Operations at Paramount Rehab in just 34 days — one of the fastest placements in the Fellowship. By leveraging her network with coaching guidance, she secured a hybrid leadership role with a 20% compensation increase and moved out of direct patient care entirely.

Proof that when clinical professionals combine the right strategy with existing connections, the transition can happen faster than most expect.

Jordan went from self-employed counselor — with fluctuating income and the weight of self-employment taxes — to a hybrid Clinical Education Manager role at TPN in about 3 months. She negotiated her start date, secured a 14% compensation increase with bonus potential, and now works half days on Fridays.

As she put it: "I didn't realize how burnt out I was until I started getting excited about this job." The Fellowship also shifted her approach to career growth entirely — teaching her that networking, not job boards, is what opens doors.

Priya transitioned from physical therapy to a remote Client Success Manager role at Ampa in about 4 months — landing a 36% compensation increase without even needing to negotiate. Her biggest hurdle was interviewing, but she overcame it by being aggressive with applications and proactively networking for opportunities.

Now she's not only out of direct patient care — she's building and hiring her own team. But what matters most to her is the flexibility to prioritize her family while working remotely, something her clinical career never allowed.

Anna transitioned from bedside nursing to a Wellness Coach role at Oak Street Health in just over 3 months. Despite starting with no LinkedIn presence and limited tech confidence, she closely followed her coach's guidance, completed every assignment, and successfully negotiated her offer up by 7%.

She now works a traditional 9-to-5, Monday through Friday schedule — a major shift from bedside care — while still leveraging her nursing expertise in a meaningful way.

Jeanne reached her goal of becoming a manager in just 3 months — transitioning from occupational therapy to a Program Manager role at Trinity Rehab. Her biggest barriers were understanding ATS compliance and knowing how to tailor her resume for non-clinical roles, both of which the Fellowship solved.

She's now working 35 hours a week with better work-life balance, out of direct patient care, and still actively working with her coach to pursue her next move. Proof that the Fellowship isn't just about one placement — it's about building a career trajectory.
