Thank you for taking the Transition IQ Quiz!

 

 Here's a breakdown of the results...

13 to 15 Correct: You Have a Strong Foundation for Growth
You appear to have a strong understanding of how career change can work for physicians. You likely recognize that your clinical experience has transferable value, that nonclinical roles can be both rewarding and realistic, and that you do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. This result suggests you are in a good position to explore your options thoughtfully, identify what matters most to you, and take the next step with confidence.
 
10 to 12 Correct: You Know More Than You Think
You already have a good foundation, and a few of the answers may have challenged assumptions you have been carrying about career change.

That is a good thing. Career transitions often become much more manageable once you understand that you do not need all the answers, another degree, or a perfect plan before you begin exploring.
 
6 to 9 Correct: There May Be More Possibilities Than You Realize
If some of these answers surprised you, you are definitely not alone. Physicians often receive very little guidance about career options outside of the traditional medical path.

The good news? Many of the beliefs that can make career change feel overwhelming simply are not true. You may have more transferable skills, more options, and more flexibility than you realize.
 
0 to 5 Correct: You Are About to Discover a Whole New Side of Your Career
If a lot of these answers were new to you, that does not mean you are behind. It simply means you may not have been exposed to many of the possibilities available to physicians.

Consider this your starting point. There is a lot to explore, and you do not have to know exactly where you are headed before you begin.
