About WeekdayDoc
A job in medicine should leave room for the rest of your life.
Why I built WeekdayDoc
When I left the Army, I was burned out—but I still enjoyed practicing medicine. I didn’t want to walk away from work I cared about. I wanted a job that left room for the rest of my life.
Finding that civilian position was harder than I expected. Job titles and compensation were only part of the picture. I also needed to understand call schedules, nights and weekend requirements before investing time in an application or interview. Those details were often difficult to find and compare.
When friends and I talked about what we wanted from our next jobs, it wasn’t just about pay. We kept coming back to specific, measurable parts of the workweek: no nights, no call, no weekends. That’s where the name WeekdayDoc came from.
Those were our priorities, not a definition of the right job for everyone. Some clinicians prefer night shifts, block schedules or part-time work. WeekdayDoc includes different schedules; the name is not a guarantee that every listing is weekday-only or call-free.
I built WeekdayDoc around measurable lifestyle factors so clinicians could compare the details available in a posting alongside compensation. Listing-based scores and market comparisons provide context—not a clinical assessment of burnout or verification of a workplace. When information is missing or unclear, confirm it with the employer rather than assume the requirement is absent.
The goal is simple: make it easier to find work you can enjoy without losing sight of the life you want outside it.

What Makes Us Different
Listing-Based Work-Life Scores
Compare 0–10 work-life scores derived from listing information, including schedule and call expectations. A listing score is not a measurement of clinician burnout.
Direct From Employers
Explore employer-submitted opportunities and jobs gathered from career sites. Review the original posting and confirm the details with the hiring team.
Market Insights
Compare disclosed pay with comparable listings where enough data is available. Use salary benchmarks as context for your questions, not a promise of earnings.
Physician-Founded
Built from Riley’s experience of burnout and searching for a better-fitting role. The focus is practical: help clinicians compare work with the life they want.

The people behind a more transparent healthcare job search
Dr. Riley Konara, MD
Founder & Lead Developer
Dr. Riley Konara is a former U.S. Army physician and the founder of WeekdayDoc. After leaving the military, he wanted to keep practicing medicine while making more room for life outside work. His search for a civilian position shaped the platform’s focus on schedules, call expectations and transparent pay information.
Riley’s aim is to make the questions clinicians ask each other—what the hours are really like, how often call comes around, and whether the pay fits—easier to explore before applying. The platform supports those decisions; it does not replace a conversation with the employer.
