If you're stuck trying to pass your medical board exam and want to completely reinvent how you prepare on your next (and hopefully final) attempt at passing your boards, then the STATMed Reboot Camp might be worth checking out.
The REBOOT CAMP completely redesigns how you:
- Re-Study
- Plan, manage, track, and optimize your study time
- Actually show what you know on medical board exams (AKA, become a "good" test-taker)
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. If you have failed your board exams, you should check this out! The REBOOT CAMP allows our clients to acquire all-new skills so they can train differently and expect different, better outcomes.

13:34 - Reboot Camp Students say THESE THINGS about studying/re-studying
- Familiar with the content, but don't know how to FIND and FIX knowledge gaps
- Miss questions due to FAMILIARITY with the topic but lack deeper details
- Lack overall EFFECTIVE study methods for tackling boards
- Rely on PASSIVE or LOW-YIELD methods for sustained study
- Need to make study sessions like high-intensity training
- Need to plan, manage, and track progress in a better, more sustainable manner
16:57 - Reboot Student TEST-TAKING concerns
- "I do great clinically ... but do poorly on exams"
- "I always narrow down to TWO and pick the wrong one"
- "I consistently miss questions I realize I should have gotten right after the fact"
- "I miss or distort key clues"
- "I don't trust myself"
- "I am always rushing and making unforced errors" (Can range from running out of time to just being too fast!)
17:40 - Big Picture: Boards Test-Taking Performance is a WEAK-LINK SYSTEM....
- You are only as good as the weakest link system...
- The FRONT END of prep is the STUDY-SIDE ... This involves re-designing how we organize, interact with, mark, encode, revise, revisit (via retrieval practice), interleave, and distribute the learning, fixing the holes in our learning, starting big picture structurally down to details
- Then, we have to learn to consistently show what we know via the way we INTERFACE with each and every test question, both in training and on test-day....this BACK END is the TEST-TAKING side of the preparation leading to executing the plan on test day
- The REBOOT CAMP takes each student through this progression
