FREE GIFT FOR YOU

A 90-Day Guide for Newly Matched Physicians

Match to Move

Everything that has to happen between the envelope and your first day of training — credentialing, money, housing, and the move itself — in the order it actually needs to happen. No strings. That's the point.

(100% free. No payment, no sales pitch.)

Ninety Days, Roughly.
In the Order It Actually Happens.

Match Day starts a clock. Between the envelope and the morning you badge in, you'll close out school, credential with a new hospital, sort out your loans, find housing, and move your whole life — in about ninety days. This guide sorts it all by when each item actually has to happen, not by how loudly it announces itself.

The Paperwork Window

Return your onboarding packet first and file for your state license or training permit early — the steps everything else waits on.

The Slow Items

NPI, background check, immunizations, BLS/ACLS, and ECFMG or visa steps — the long-lead items that won't move faster later.

Rent or Buy, Decided Early

Decide provisionally whether to rent or buy — and why a purchase needs a 45–60 day head start while renting can wait.

The Tax Return That Pays Off

Why filing a tax return — even with little or no income — can lower your first year of student loan payments.

Know Your Repayment Options

What changed in federal loan repayment in 2025–2026, and which plans you can actually choose now.

The Rest of the Money

Taxable relocation stipends, the health insurance gap after graduation, and why disability coverage matters most now.

Where You'll Live

When renting wins, when buying wins, how to plan the scouting trip, and why a June 15 move-in beats July 1.

The Move + Landing

Booking movers, the switchover list, what to hand-carry — plus a printable 90-day checklist and settling in once you land.
