The product
The applicant's decision layer
Not another directory. Carotid is where your cycle actually happens — from the first program search to the certified rank list.
Program Finder
All 194 ACGME anesthesiology programs with filters, fit scores, and provenance on every stat — plus a power-user spreadsheet view for the people who loved their old multi-tab workflow.
First Pass
Triage the whole country fast: every program, best-fit first, into Gold, Silver, On-Deck, or the Cold List. Cross out programs in minutes, not weekends.
Signals
Rank your buckets side by side with your survey preferences color-coded onto every stat. The top 5 gold and top 10 silver carry your real signals — with NRMP data keeping the strategy honest.
Interview Hub
Prep → happy hour → interview → same-day brain dump, per program. Question bank with saved answers, thank-you generator that remembers the moment that made you memorable, pros/cons and finance capture for ranking later.
Program Rank
Every interview becomes a slot. Drag programs into your intended order, with your gut-feel numbers and reflections riding along. Private until Match Day, always.
Season intelligence
A live cycle timeline, nudges when a thank-you or prep is due, invite-timing capture, and NRMP 2026 match data built into every screen.
Every stat carries its source and date. Your notes, vibes, and rankings are private — architecturally unreachable by programs, never used to train models.
