Just as parrots connect verbally when they get together in nature, we want our parrot.md members to have the ability to connect with each other through an easy-to-use digital platform. Learning to how to use parrot.md is as easy as a parrot learning to fly. 

At parrot.md, our mission is to give specialty physicians their autonomy back by providing a simple and effective tool to have call obligations covered when there are other personal or business obligations that create a conflict. parrot.md allows physicians to take back control over their schedules. Now, physicians have the freedom to work on their terms and hospitals have the opportunity to keep local, credentialed physicians caring for their patients.

Two leading causes of physician burnout are too many weekly work hours and a lack of autonomy. Specialty physicians are contracted to cover multiple on-call shifts every month. These shifts often add quality of life stress due to the unpredictability of call obligations, potentially late hours, and the burden of finding coverage when these shifts need to be changed or traded.
