Early Stage Consulting & Planning

With an application submission horizon of 12 – 36 months, benefit from Physician Bound’s analysis of your early admissions profile competitiveness and preparedness. We appraise your strengths, weaknesses and opportunities as you engage the medical school, residency or fellowship applications process. Physician Bound conducts a Personal Strengths Assessment that prompts you to self-reflect, self-assess and clarify your interests and goals. Only after self-discovery, will you reveal your core values and true vision for the future. Having done this, enhance your credentials and build a stronger application. Work with Physician Bound and together we’ll partner on this journey toward application success.

Fee:  $990 – $1,990


Personal Strengths Assessment

Applying to premier medical schools, which by definition are selective and competitive, requires a team approach. If you apply solo, you don’t have the benefits of an expert’s advice. Let’s form a partnership. Every journey begins with the first step. As Socrates eloquently stated, “know thyself.” With this premise in mind, Physician Bound guides you on the path from self-discovery, self-reflection, self-assessment toward reaching your full potential. In other words, go from “the thought” to full execution of your goals. Academics aside, institutions want to know you on a deep and personal level, and whether you fit their culture and mission. Once this is accomplished, you’ll have the tools to present a truly compelling story, and “Wow” the admissions committee and program directors.

Only by asking the right questions will you find the right answers, and subsequently makie the right decisions. Furthermore, only after your Personal Strengths Assessment can you assess your readiness and competitiveness for the battle ahead.

Fee: $990


Institution/Program Research Assistance

Earning an acceptance offer from your “best fit” program requires excelling in many areas. In regards to your secondary essays and short answers, carefully crafted narratives specific to that particular medical school is crucial. This entails thorough research and knowledge of the institution or program. It is all about fit. All programs and applicants are not the same. Therefore, you want to fit the program like feet in comfortable shoes. The program, similarly, wants you to match their mission, their values and their culture. A poor fit is bad for everyone. Without research into the institutions you apply to, your essays and interviews are average or perhaps even mediocre. Why risk it! You research your doctors, your vacations and your purchases! Doesn’t it seem prudent to research wisely and thoroughly the programs you apply to. If you are busy as I think, allow Physician Bound to complete some of the research on your behalf. It improves the chances your essays and interviews stand out! 

Fee: $350 per school


Interaction Strategy

You’re likely going to need guidance on how to interact optimally with medical school representatives, post-graduate program directors and letter of recommendation writers. Simply filling out an application and asking professors for letters of reference and then praying for the best is like playing the lottery and hoping to win. There are winning techniques for creating and nurturing relationships that increases your odds of getting acceptance offers. Let Physician Bound show you!

Fee: $350


AMCAS/ERAS Application including Personal Statement

You and your Physician Bound Expert work together to identify key themes and big picture messages for the all-important personal statement. Together we create an authentic, genuine and personal story that is unique to you. You convey your voice, your story in a way that “wows” the reader. With the right presentation, the admissions officer not only wants to accept you, the he/she wants to meet you, and get to know you better over coffee.

Fee: $2,600*


AMCAS/ERAS Personal Statement Review

You have already written your personal statement. But, you feel it is not ready. In fact, you may still feel lost. Here is where Physician Bound can help. We review your essay for messaging, spelling and flow. Even after our expert review, your essay may be far from finished. But the progress will be immense. You’ll feel that you’re heading in the right direction.

Fee: $700


Program Transfer Tactics  

Unsuccessful in reaching your top choice college the first time around. Do you wish to apply again as a transfer student? Wondering what to do next? Work with an Physician Bound consultant to maximize your second attempt at reaching your best fit dream school. We will:

  • Assess your entire application’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Analyze your interview preparation
  • Provide you with likely deficiencies in your application leading to denial or the waitlist
  • Assist you in developing a successful strategy for re-application

Fee: $700


Career Coaching

Perhaps you are unclear about which career path to follow. You know what you don’t like. But deciding on a discipline or specialty difficult to commit to. With our assistance, you’ll discover and clarify your interests, values, dreams and your strengths and perhaps even your life’s purpose. Let Physician Bound help get you on the right track.

Fee: $700


Secondary Application Essay Advising

While your Physician Bound Expert doesn’t write your essays, we don’t just wordsmith either. We pinpoint what is missing. Moreover, we improve the messaging, impact, spelling, grammar, and precision of your essay, all without compromising your genuine voice. With our guidance, the essay sounds like poetry and articulates your message. Moreover, each short answer essay is written in the context of the whole application. Physician Bound helps you both stand out and fit in.

Fee: $1,400


Resume/CV Review 

Chances are that your curriculum vitae (resume/cv), if you have one, is subpar. The cv documents your academics, accomplishments, extracurricular activities and your notable experiences. At a very minimum, it is a summary of your life. Without an updated cv as a reference, writing a compelling personal statement will be a challenge.

Fee: $595


Interview Preparation  

With three one-hour sessions, you choose whether to take three one-hour practice interviews or one introductory session and two one-hour mock interviews. If you truly wish to excel and gain confidence on your interviews, you may wish to sign up for more hours, or practice on your own. The most effective strategy to prepare for your Multiple-Mini-Interview (MMI) is to anticipate the types of questions/scenarios you will face and to practice your answers.

Fee: $1,050 for three sessions


Improve Your Study & Time Management Skills

With our guidance, you learn how to study smarter without studying longer. We show you how to improve your memory, take better notes and get better grades. For most people, it’s not an intelligence issue. It’s not an effort issue. It’s a technique issue. Are you in?

Fee: $350


Marketing Your Brand  

Every medical school, residency or fellowship has a mission and vision that guides them toward addressing their institutional priorities. Similarly, you need a brand for which to market your campaign. You have assets and talents; and if you are not differentiating yourself from the competition, you’re an amateur among professionals. Your branding strategy must convince the programs that you are exceptional and worthy. Shall we show you how this works?

Fee: $700


Waitlist or Denial Strategy   

What to do now? We’ll thoroughly review your application and curriculum vitae for areas of improvement. We guide you through this maze of uncertainty, including how to reply to the admissions committee and how to gauge your odds of getting off the waitlist or re-applying next cycle.

Fee: $700


Preparing Your Letter Writers

Selecting the right people to draft your letters of recommendation and support your candidacy is essential. Just because you earned high marks on your rotation doesn’t mean they’ll write a strong letter. In fact, great letters require motivation, time and skill, neither of which many letter of recommendations have. At Physician Bound we’ll help you select and prepare your recommenders for this vitally important request.

Fee: $350


Application Final Check

You’ve completed your application by yourself or using another consulting firm. Yet you want another pair of eyes to review it before you hit submit. We can help accomplish this final check to make sure you don’t make any glaring mistakes.

Fee: $1,050


Explanation of the Process

The first step in your successful journey toward acceptance into a premiere medical school or program is self-reflection and self-assessment. In other words, what truly matters to you? Your values! Your vision! What are your goals and dreams? Are you competitive? Aren you truly ready to apply! Having done this, we show we show you our 5-step approach for application success. Finally, we explain how to best market your USP, your “Unique Special Point” in order to stand out, get noticed and get accepted?
