Physician Vantage Studio
Most physicians I know are exceptionally capable people living surprisingly narrow careers. Not because they lack talent or ambition - but because medicine trains you to execute a script, not design a life.
Physician Vantage Studio is a publication for physicians who want more out of the career they already have. Not a different career. Not an exit from medicine. A more intentional, expansive version of the one you’re already building - using forms of leverage most physicians never learned to activate.
Each week (or close to it), I publish an essay exploring a specific piece of this: the hidden assumptions in the default physician career script, the five forms of leverage every physician already has, what AI actually means for physician careers, and the practical frameworks for building a career with more optionality, without blowing up what you’ve already built.
What you’ll get as a subscriber:
Frameworks you can actually use - not abstract inspiration, but specific tools for thinking about your own career architecture. Honest analysis of the forces reshaping medicine, including AI, written by someone who implements it clinically rather than commenting on it from outside. And a growing community of physicians thinking seriously about the same questions, many of whom show up in the comments with great insights.
Who’s writing this
I’m a practicing radiologist and Distinguished Partner at Atrius Health, where I read scans, perform imaging-guided procedures, lead tumor boards, and help lead AI integration into our clinical practice. I trained at Duke, Tufts Medical School, Yale, and Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard. I still love the clinical work, and I’ve come to believe it should be the anchor of a physician’s career, not the ceiling.
Alongside medicine, I’ve built experience across a set of domains that most physicians never combine. I’ve evaluated early-stage companies as an angel investor through Launchpad Venture Group and as a Clinical Advisory Board member at AngelMD. I’ve been an imaging consultant on multiple AI and oncology clinical trials - working inside the development of these tools, not just reading about their impact. I completed the RSNA Imaging AI Certificate and the Mass General Brigham Healthcare Innovation Bootcamp. I’ve chaired national committees for the American College of Radiology and served as President of the Massachusetts Radiological Society.
Each of these roles taught me something the others couldn’t. Investing taught me to evaluate asymmetric opportunities. AI implementation taught me what’s real versus what’s hype. Society leadership taught me to convene physicians across specialties. Clinical practice reminds me, every day, what physicians actually need.
I started Physician Vantage Studio because I kept noticing the same pattern in colleagues I respected: enormous capability, narrowing options, and no real framework for thinking about why. This is my attempt to build one - in public, essay by essay.
What’s included
Physician Vantage Studio is currently free, in full. Every essay, every framework, every interview - no paywall. I’d rather build trust with a wide group of physicians before asking anyone to pay for anything.
Down the road, more offerings will be available. Founding subscribers will always have early access and the best available terms when that launches. For now, subscribing costs nothing and gets you everything.
The most interesting physician careers are designed, not inherited. If that resonates, I’d love to have you along for the build.
