Perspectives on moving from clinical to non-clinical careers, written from first-hand experience.

Co-Founder & CEO, MatchDay Health · Trained in family medicine
I help clinicians translate their clinical expertise into high-impact, non-clinical careers — the same transition I made myself.
From family medicine to founding MatchDay.
I trained as a physician in family medicine. Like many clinicians, I spent more than a decade building a career before admitting it wasn't the life I wanted. I know what burnout feels like from the inside.
My own transition wasn't a straight line. I left residency without a concrete plan, tried and failed to launch my first company, went back to part-time clinical work, and eventually broke into health tech, where I became VP of Clinical Operations at an AI startup.
Along the way I kept meeting brilliant clinicians who were overlooked, not because they lacked skills, but because no one had shown them how to translate those skills for a corporate audience. That's why I built MatchDay: to give clinicians the roadmap, network and expert coaching I wish I'd had.
Today, my mission is simple: help people build more fulfilling careers, because meaningful work improves not only their own lives, but also their families and communities.
From clinical practice to navigating his own career transition and building MatchDay, Rami brings first-hand perspective to the challenges healthcare professionals face when moving beyond traditional clinical roles.

Left residency, broke into health tech and became VP of Clinical Operations at an AI startup, so he coaches from lived experience, not theory.

MatchDay Health is a career advancement platform made for healthcare professionals. We work with hard-working healthcare professionals who are seeking more fulfillment, higher pay and better lifestyle in their careers. We combine expert 1:1 coaching, proven fellowship tracks, and access to a 1,000+ member network to help you land a fulfilling role, often remote, within 3 months.
Our expert coaches have thousands of hours of experience and backgrounds in health tech, corporate healthcare, and leadership. We have 1,000+ alumni within our network (many of which work at top companies) and 86% of our Fellows land high impact jobs within 6 months! We have a track record of real results with Fellows landing roles at health tech companies, consulting firms, and healthcare startups.
MatchDay Fellowships are structured, time-bound programs where you learn by doing, while getting guided support (mentors/coaches), practical training, and clear outcomes. At MatchDay, our flagship Fellowship is the Career Transformation Fellowship which combines: A step-by-step curriculum (so you know exactly what to do each week) Expert mentorship/coaching (so you don’t do it alone) Community + accountability (so you stay consistent and confident) Hands-on deliverables (resume/LinkedIn, networking strategy, interview prep, negotiations, and a plan for your first 90 days)
It’s different from regular coaching because it’s not just information or 1:1 sessions — it’s a structured approach that involves implementation + feedback + support designed to help you produce real results.
Our coaches are seasoned career transition specialists—many have careers spanning health tech & lifescience and have worked specifically in recruiting or career services. Coaches at MatchDay must meet minimum certification requirements and must have a minimum of 2,500 hours of coaching experience. MatchDay coaches go through our extensive training process to meet quality standards.
86% of active fellows land a new role within 6 months, and the average time to a job offer is 88 days. Typical roles include clinical operations, customer success, project management, quality, or health tech leadership. Most fellows land jobs in the $80–140k range, often with remote or hybrid options.
We work with physicians too, but career transitions may involve trade-offs (e.g., lower initial salary compared to clinical income). Our program is best suited for physicians who are commited to reaching a specific goal.
No. Your current clinical experience is enough. We focus on translating your existing skills into industry language and positioning you for corporate or tech roles.
The program is custom-built for busy clinicians — you don't need to grind through hours of coursework. We focus on high-leverage actions like optimizing your resume, LinkedIn, and networking — NOT busywork. Your coach guides you step-by-step, with flexible scheduling around your shifts and life. Most fellows see results in 3 months, even with only 5 hours a week.
Personalized career roadmap tailored to your background, 1:1 coaching with a career mentor (weekly or bi-weekly), resume & LinkedIn optimization (not just a template — strategic positioning), mock interviews & salary negotiation coaching, access to 1,000+ alumni & exclusive job leads, offer negotiation training to help increase offers by 10–20%, and MatchDay Certified Fellow profile & badge (digital stamp of approval for employers).
If you have any healthcare experience — from RN to PT to NP and more — we can translate your clinical skills into corporate or tech roles. 86% of our active fellows land jobs within 6 months. Many get multiple offers, not just one. You don't need another degree or certification. We help you position your existing experience as your biggest asset.
No. We can't guarantee job placement because your results depend on your effort and engagement. However, we provide the systems, coaching, and connections that have helped hundreds of clinicians land jobs.
Apply now and then book a call with our team to discuss your goals, assess program fit, and get all your questions answered. If it's a fit, we'll outline your next steps and match you with your coach.
No problem. The program starts with our Clarity Phase, where we help you identify your ideal roles through self-discovery, skills mapping, and career strategy planning.
