Got questions?
We get it; it’s an investment. Here are the A’s to your Q’s.
When's the best time for me to sign up for Guidance?
Getting a medical license in another country and finding a job takes time, so it’s always a good idea to start early.
Typically, Guidance works well for physicians looking to move abroad in the next 1-3 years. This gives you enough time to start the licensure process, learn a new language (if needed), and find a job.
You got this 🙌 – we’re here to help!
What about the cost?
Your investment is $649 for a new guidance session (for trainees, we offer. a discounted rate of $549).
Look, we get it – investing in yourself can feel scary. But here’s the truth: This guidance session is your golden ticket to skipping months of confusion and costly mistakes. Think of it as your VIP pass to clarity, confidence, and a concrete action plan for your international medical journey.
Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what your fellow physicians discovered:
Here’s what other physicians had to say about the guidance session:
“I was hesitant about the cost. But it’s been very helpful, and I would totally recommend it.“
– Dr. A, Psychiatrist in New York
“I was initially concerned about the cost and thought maybe I could research enough on my own, but I am SO glad I signed up because Dr. Kokkinos’ advice was invaluable!”

What are the credentials and experience of the person who'll be providing guidance?
The physician guides draw upon their personal experience and their experience guiding other physicians through the process. They’re dedicated to sharing what they’ve learned to make the process easier for you. They may also share their general experience with immigration and expat taxes. Importantly, they are not immigration experts or tax professionals.
Do the Guides fill out and submit the licensure paperwork on our behalf?
Our Guides can offer tips and tricks and helping you problem-solve. They will not complete the paperwork on your behalf.
When does the 30 days of email support start?
We provide a complementary 30 days of email support which starts after your guidance session. We also know that sometimes email just won’t do – that’s why we offer follow-up sessions when you need it!
What if I need more support as I go through the relocation process?
We got you!
Getting licensed, finding a job, and moving abroad does not happen overnight! Most people will have questions that pop out throughout the relocation process.
That’s why we offer follow-up sessions when you need them. Just contact us and we’ll get it scheduled.

Do you offer advice in regards to immigration?
Our mentors can provide general information based on their experience with the immigration process. However, they are not immigration lawyers, so for more detailed questions, you’ll want to connect with an immigration lawyer or an immigration expert.
Do you offer guidance to NPs or PAs?
The regulations for physicians may be different from the rules and regulations for NPs and PAs. Because of this, we focus on guiding physicians since this is where we excel.
