The profession of medicine centers on clarifying what’s actually happening and anticipating its trajectory. A prognosis is not a prediction; it is an act of discernment. It requires clarity, judgment, and the moral imagination to understand not only what is happening but what life could become.

Our coaching is built on that same intellectual and vocational stance.

The happiest doctors don’t pursue medicine to follow a script for success. They come because something in them responds to finding meaning under pressure. To suffering that demands presence. To work that requires disciplined craft rather than performance. Medicine is not a race to the top of society. It is a calling that shapes a life.

The Prognosis Project exists for students who want more than a how-to guide.

It exists for students who want to understand who they are becoming.

The name reflects four convictions:

1. Hippocratic Clarity
   The earliest physicians understood that prognosis was the heart of medicine. To see clearly is to act responsibly. Students need the same clarity about their own path: motives, strengths, limits, and the work ahead.

2. Search for Meaning

   Meaning is not found in comfort but in responsibility. Students must diligently uncover the “why” behind their pursuit of medicine, or they will be hollowed by the pressures of the path.

3. Vocation in light of Mortality
   Working in medicine is ultimately about learning to stand where life is most fragile. The earlier a student understands the gravity and privilege of the work, the more wisely they can shape their training.

4. Redemptive Framework
   Medicine needs people who can live at the redemptive edge, acting with integrity inside systems that are strained and imperfect. Formation begins long before graduate school. Students must develop identity, courage, and purpose now.

Prognosis Project offers students cognitive scaffolding and vocational clarity that sets us apart from other premedical consulting options. This is not about polishing an application. It is about building a coherent life that can sustain the demands of medicine.

Prognosis Project
Clarity for the path. Meaning for the work. Formation for the life ahead.
