Coaching for Medical Specialty Boards
Just as athletes undergo intensive preparation and training for peak performance, physicians need a strategic plan for efficient medical board preparation and board success.
For busy professionals, finding the time and knowing how to maximize study efforts is a challenge. A coach might be the answer. A learning coach can help create a successful study plan and offer “just-in-time” strategies to expand your learning potential. This medical board tutoring provides personalized support, helping you navigate how to study for medical boards efficiently.
While the concept of coaching in sports and the business world is well known, academic coaching is relatively new in medical education and rare in current board preparation programs.
Personalized coaching is goal-oriented, aids meaningful productivity, and creates realistic plans for meeting objectives on time. It offers the clarity, confidence, tools, and strategic planning to diminish the feeling of being overwhelmed by the medical board preparation experience.

Linda was essential in helping me FINALLY pass my pediatric cardiology boards!! I worked with Linda for about 5 or 6 months before my test with our weekly or biweekly check-ins. Each time she provided support and essential test-taking and anxiety techniques. She helped organize me to study correctly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Linda to help prepare for any big exam!
