The STATMed Boards
Test-Taking Workshop

Our Boards Workshop is designed for medical students, physicians, and those in related fields who self-identify
as “bad test-takers” on medical board exams like the USMLE, COMLEX, NAVLE, shelf exams, specialty boards
(e.g., EM, peds, IM, anesthesiology, etc.), and related medical board exams (NAPLEX, NBEO, etc.).

The workshop teaches a rigid step-by-step process for reading every test question by anticipating common areas
where reading and thinking break down, limiting the burden on certain cognitive processes (like working memory),
and using self-identified data to track the “micro-decisions” made en route to selecting answers to change behaviors.
An explicit training sequence is used to accelerate mastery of the STATMed Process so that you can regain control
of your test-taking and truly show what you know on test day.

3 Common Study Problems Med Students Face

I sometimes take for granted the success our STATMed Class students experience, so it was nice to be reminded when I spoke to Sophia. When I met her, she had just failed her first year of medical school, the first time she ever failed anything.

What Our Students Say

“I am so thrilled that I have the tools & newfound skillset to tackle these daunting exams.”

One-On-One Instruction

Our live one-on-one meetings form the backbone of the workshop. Each meeting as a specific objective. Your instructor will be with you every step of the way in these meetings, teaching you the next steps in the STATMed sequence, answering your questions, and providing detailed feedback to your homework. We dig deep to figure out what exactly you are doing wrong and how to fix it.

With On-Demand Video Lectures

In conjunction with one-on-one meetings, a series of on-demand videos delineate the fundamentals of the STATMed Process, illustrate patterns of test-taking issues and their solutions, and provide deep dives into specific topics to improve your mastery of The STATMed Test-Taking Process.

We know you are very busy. The workshop’s modular design works around your schedule, be it clinical rotations, work, or life. We only schedule the first few meetings up front, then schedule the rest as we go. This flexible scheduling will optimize your experience with the workshop.

Using Your Practice Questions

Every one-on-one meeting ends with a specific homework assignment using specific STATMed tools. You will select the questions you will use on the homework from your own question bank of choice.
