The STATMed Boards Reboot Camp

For those facing repeated boards failures OR for those looking to proactively reengineer the way the study, maximize their time, and redesign how the answer boards questions:

The STATMed Boards Reboot Camp comprehensively addresses these issues.

Is This For You?

If you have failed boards more than once and feel at a loss for how to approach re-studying again – this was built for you.

✅ You’ve tried other prep programs, studied harder, done more questions – and it still wasn’t enough

✅ You’re not sure if the problem is your studying, your test-taking, or both

✅ You feel like you’re not getting the most out of your current methods

✅ You need to do everything in your power to pass your boards on next attempt.

✅ You know that doing the same thing again is not an option

The Reboot Camp completely reengineers your boards prep process – all-new study methods, time management tools, and the full STATMed Boards Workshop, designed to plug into any boards review content of your choice.

Some clients even do the Reboot Camp proactively.

The Problem Isn't How Hard You've Worked ON YOUR BOARDS PREP. It's the System You've Been Using.

After repeated boards failure, the standard advice is always the same – study harder, review more content, do more questions. So you did. And it still didn’t work. That’s not a motivation problem. That’s a method problem.

Repeated failure almost always comes down to two things working against you simultaneously: a study system that isn’t encoding and retaining information the way board exams require, and a test-taking process that isn’t letting you show what you know when it counts. Fixing one without the other leaves the other problem fully intact.

The Reboot Camp is the only STATMed program that addresses both – completely, simultaneously, and from the ground up. This time, you won’t just be working harder. You’ll be working differently.

What You’ll Learn Inside the ReBoot Camp

Study System Rebuild

We teach just enough learning theory coupled with actionable study strategies so you can be a mini-expert in your own boards learning needs.

We teach discrete steps that start by emphasizing organization and structure (this is where all learning must start), how to read and mark your review content one time and one time only, leading to structure-based retrieval practice, which will unlock high yield learning that can be distributed, interleaved, and spaced out over time to optimize long term encoding, storage, and access over the long haul.

This is essential if you have repeatedly failed this exam and are re-studying and can be an asset even if you do the Reboot Camp proactively.

TIME MANAGEMENT OPTIMIZATION

Time is your greatest resource and must be optimized, turning every study session into the equivalent of a high intensity workout. The requires using a few specific tools to make management and planning external and explicit, freeing up cognitive burden and letting to stop and start studying on a dime.

This again will plug into any review content of your choice. We teach workflow generation skills, planning and tracking tools, and micro- and macro-study managers. These will help all of our REBOOTERS be in charge of their learning and get the most bang for their buck any time they study, which is an absolute MUST for all of our clients.

TEST-TAKING PROCESS

The full STATMed Boards Workshop is part of the Reboot Camp, so all of our clients are equipped to show what they know come test day.

You’ll use your own question bank when training with our test-taking system, a super-structured process for reading and navigating every boards question that reduces cognitive overload, eliminates bad habits, and gives you a reliable system to execute under pressure.

You’ll track the micro-decisions you’re making on every question, identify your specific error patterns, and correct. We teach you how to do ALL of this so you can then train autonomously between the end of the REBOOT CAMP and your exam.

Summer 2026 Sessions:

How the ReBoot Camp Is Structured

The Reboot Camp is delivered fully online in custom-built sessions with a combination of small group teaching sessions on-demand videos, and one-on-one meetings between you and your STATMed specialist (either Ryan or David).

The Reboot Camp follows a scope and sequence that optimizes onboarding the study, time management, and test-taking skills you need to roll up your sleeves and get to work applying these new tools to your own chosen boards prep content within a few days of starting the Reboot Camp. As always, this is great for those who have failed their boards multiple times, but can also be used proactively to make your next prep window all-new and all-different.

Each Reboot Camp has its own schedule, and is only offered a few times per year, allowing up to ten students maximum per session. We often design and fill up Reboot Camps before we can even post them, so it always a good idea to reach out and see when the next sessions will be run!

Repeated Failure Doesn't Have to Be the End of the Road.

Hear from STATMed alumni who faced repeated boards failures, rebuilt their entire approach through the Reboot Camp, and came out the other side – passing boards and continuing the careers they worked years to build.

Real Students. Real Results.

"I was on the brink of failure…I typed portions of vignettes of my story directly into Google and found a testimonial of one of your former students that was my story on the page. I thought okay, I could have written this story, so this is the place I need to start."

Elise

first-year medical student

"It completely changed my studying strategy and it also taught me a more effective test-taking methodology so I could show what I know on the exam. After applying everything I had learned I managed to pass the NAVLE with flying colors. I would recommend the course to any veterinarian who is struggling with NAVLE."

"I was devastated after failing my first year of med school. The STATMed Class gave me awesome strategies that completely changed the way I sat down to study every day. After STATMed, I was excited to go back to school, and it paid off. Now I am interviewing for residencies!"

reboot camp Is Not For You If:

The Boards Reboot Camp is a complete rebuild – not a supplement, not a content review, and not a passive experience. Here’s who it is not designed for:

❌ You are a classroom-based learner – the STATMed Study Skills Class is the right fit instead

❌ You only need help with test-taking and feel confident in your knowledge base – the Boards Workshop is a better fit

❌ You are looking for content review or a boards review program – we are reading and learning specialists, not content instructors. You will need to bring your own boards review material to apply what you learn

❌ If you are looking for a pure boards review program that tells you WHAT you need to know, this is not the right for you.

❌ You want someone to motivate you daily or are looking for a passive experience – we teach motivated learners the tools they need, then they go do the work

❌ Your exam is less than two months away – we prefer two to three months or more between starting the Reboot Camp and your test date. This is always worth discussing in our initial call

Frequently Asked questions

How is the ReBoot Camp different from the Boards Workshop?

Our STATMed Boards Workshop focuses exclusively on rebuilding the test-taking process.
The STATMed Reboot Camp combines the full Boards Workshop with our full boards study/re-study system, combining two platforms into our most robust offering for those looking for multiple avenues to prepare differently for your upcoming medical board exam in one elegant package.
The Reboot Camp is ideal for someone stuck on boards after multiple failures, but can also be used proactively in the right circumstance (entering USMLE Step 1 prep dedicated window, for example).
If you’re unsure which one applies to you, a quick call with our team will help clarify.

I've tried multiple prep programs already. Why would this be different?

It’s different because most boards prep programs focus on CONTENT, packaging and repackaging WHAT you need to know for your upcoming exam. These are essential for effective boards prep.
However, we teach the HOW: HOW to restudy for boards using an array of discrete study tools, HOW to maximize your time and build workflow and optimize efficiency when studying, and of course HOW to show what you know on your boards using the STATMed test-taking system
Keep in mind, you would need to provide the review content of choice and the question bank of choice on your end; we teach you the skills using your content and question banks.

How long does the ReBoot Camp take?

Each Reboot Camp has its own unique schedule, based on our availability and projected upcoming exam windows.
REBOOTS usually range from three to five weeks, using modular blocks so you can fit the REBOOT around your work schedule and to give you time to practice your newly-acquired skills between sessions.

How do I know if I need the ReBoot Camp versus just the Boards Workshop?

If your primary challenge is test-taking process and your content knowledge is solid, the Boards Workshop is likely the right fit. This would be for people who say, “I know enough to pass, I just can’t show it on my board exam.”
The time you have from now until you exam might factor in as well:
- If you only have a three, four, or maybe five weeks until your exam, this might not be enough time to onboard and utilize the REBOOT skills.
- The WORKSHOP is usually viable two+ weeks before the exam or certainly three or four weeks before the exam (or more).
- The best timeframe for the REBOOT is two or even three months to give yourself enough time to onboard and apply the study skills over a wide enough body of work to yield results on test day.
If you need to rebuild both your study system and your test-taking process — which is common after repeated failure — the Reboot Camp addresses both. Sometimes, when the stakes are super-high and/or you just feel like you have to pass and want to cover all of your bases, the REBOOT might be a better fit if you have the time.
This often gets sorted out in our informal phone interview, so feel free to contact us to kick off this conversation so we can get you lined up with the right platform.

Is there a guarantee that I'll pass?

When you sign up for one of our platforms, you are buying our time, expertise, course content, and personalized insight into your specific needs. We can guarantee that we will provide you with expert instruction in specific, actionable tools that hundreds of med students and medical professionals have used to improve their performance in the classroom and on board exams.
But we can never guarantee test scores or other specific academic outcomes because each person is different, each with their own constellation of strengths and weaknesses. Med school and boards are hard. Our goal is to provide our students with tools that give them the best chance to succeed. And we have built these tools to the best of our ability. But we can never guarantee success. That falls onto the shoulders of our students.

Who will I be working with?

STATMed Learning is JUST two people: Ryan Orwig, MS, and David LaSalle, MA. We have been working exclusively with our medical students & physicians since 2005 and 2013, respectively. You will never be working with the third person under the fourth person in our organization. This is just one aspect that makes STATMed so different.

We are the ones who have built our methods and tools, so you will always be working with the best either way. Every platform we teach is small, personal, and hands-on, with a lot of back and forth between you and your STATMed instructor.

Repeated Failure Is Not the End. Solve it with a new approach.

The STATMed Boards Reboot Camp is built to change your entire boards prep approach – from how you study, to how you manage your time, to how you perform on test day. When you prepare differently, you have a real reason to expect different results.

The Reboot Camp is built around how you actually learn, designed specifically for where you are right now, and delivered by Ryan or David – instructors who have helped hundreds of students in your exact situation find their way through, pass their boards, and reclaim their career.
