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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
