Doctors save lives every day, but when it comes to their own pay, many are left in the dark. Salaries are hidden, contracts are confusing, and open conversations can feel risky. In this episode, we explore why salary transparency in medicine matters — and how one unexpected entrepreneur, Tyler Polk, built tools that are changing the way physicians understand their worth.
From anonymous reviews of residency programs to SalaryDoctor.com, Tyler has created a platform where physicians can finally compare pay, share lifestyle insights, and know if a job offer is fair. His journey is a reminder that breaking the silence isn’t just about money — it’s about equity, balance, and giving healthcare workers the clarity they deserve.
