Why trust PathMD?
Physician-led guidance from someone who has lived the process.
PathMD is led by Claudio “CJ” Roman III, MD, MBA, a South Florida resident physician who personally navigated the pre-med, medical school, and residency path. After taking a gap year, he earned multiple medical school acceptances and scholarship offers, including a six-figure medical school scholarship.
He went on to complete both his MD and MBA during medical school, giving him a unique perspective on applications, career strategy, and the business of medicine. Now training within the University of Miami/Jackson Health System, CJ built PathMD to give future physicians practical, honest, strategic guidance earlier in the journey.
✓ Gap-year experience

FAQ
Clear, honest guidance.
Do you guarantee admission or a residency match?
No. PathMD provides strategy, coaching, and application review. We do not guarantee admissions, interviews, match outcomes, scholarships, or employment results.

No. We help students brainstorm, organize, strengthen, and polish their own work. Final application materials must remain the student’s own.
Can parents join the call?
Yes, especially for high school and early college students. We can structure the call to include both student-centered guidance and parent questions.
Is this only for traditional pre-med students?
No. We also advise students considering gap years, post-baccs, DO programs, Caribbean schools, alternative healthcare careers, consulting, administration, and non-traditional medical pathways.
