ABOUT BACKCHANNEL
What physicians tell each other.
BackChannel is a verified physician network for the career, training, and workplace information physicians usually learn through private texts, group chats, and word of mouth.
For the decisions you’re making now.
We’re starting with residents, fellows and early-career attendings. Ask about training, fellowship, programs, job offers, contracts, compensation and life after residency. Learn from physicians who have already taken the next step.
A shared network, with useful context.
Broad topic communities bring physicians together. Specialty and career-stage tags add context without splitting every conversation into a small cohort. Participate anonymously or with a persistent pseudonym; real-world identity is separate from community identity.
Starting small, with physician verification.
The private beta is invite-only. An invitation lets you register; physician verification and separate administrator approval are required before entering member discussions. Anonymity is not absolute, and discussions do not create medical, legal or financial advisory relationships.
