Did you know? 40 - 50% of practicing physicians surveyed would pick a different medical specialty if given the chance. 80 percent of medical students in a Glaxo study believed they did not have enough valid information about their talents and options to base a decision of medical specialty. Over 70% of people in the healthcare practitioner profession surveyed in the Oxford CareerFitNow Analysis tool indicated they felt they weren’t using their natural talents in their work. The bottom line is that choosing the wrong medical specialty and career costs you countless setbacks and frustration.

Do you have the basic talents to be a doctor? Should you be a specialist or generalist? Medical specialties...Pediatric oncology or Otolaryngology? Immunology or Infectious Diseases? Research or patient care? Hospital- or office-based? Our testing program... Uncovers your natural, inborn abilities Pinpoints your ideal medical specialty path Builds your self-confidence Can offer you a strategic advantage in landing your top choice residency or being accepted into your preferred medical school Who is it for? High school students who want to understand if they have the right profile to succeed in the medical profession. Medical school students who want to achieve the highest levels of success and satisfaction in the medical professions by aligning their strongest talents with their career. Practicing physicians who want to diagnose any natural ability/personality conflicts to achieve more satisfaction within or outside the medical professions. We measure your talents, interests and personal style: the areas where you would be your best. The Oxford Program is very different from the rudimentary career tests you may have taken in the past. Most career tests are based on your personality or interests and you can sway them with your choices. And just because you are interested in something doesn't mean you have any talent for it. Some people hesitate to take our tests because they might “fail.” It is impossible to pass or fail our program. In many cases, a low score on a particular test may be preferable to a high score. Satisfaction in a job depends not on how many aptitudes you possess but on the combination of high and low scores, and whether that aptitude pattern is used in your work. How does it work?
