The moment to decide is earlier than you think
Momentum beats perfect timing
Most doctors don’t delay because they’re lazy.
They delay because they’re thoughtful.
You’ve been trained to wait for certainty, evidence, permission, the “right” moment.
But when it comes to your career, that moment rarely arrives on its own.
What does arrive quietly is another year where:
the same questions resurface
the same frustration lingers
the same ceiling stays in place
The doctors who change their trajectory don’t feel 100% ready.
They move when something feels important enough.
That’s what momentum looks like.
We’re enrolling the next DII Power Cohort now for a January start, ahead of the holiday slowdown, a time when many doctors finally have space to think clearly about what they want next.
No hype.
No pressure.
Just a proper conversation about whether this is the right step for you.
