Who This Is For

Stuck on a plateau

Your NBME scores have stopped climbing. More hours aren't producing more points. You need a method change, not effort change.

Coming back from a setback

You failed an NBME or your timeline got disrupted. You need a structured comeback plan, not vague reassurance.

Can't afford another attempt

You failed once, or your NBMEs say you're borderline. Step 1 is pass/fail, but a fail stays on your record. You need a plan that gets you over the line this time.

In my first NBME, the first week into dedicated was a 197. And then by the end of dedicated on test day, I scored a 243!

197 → 243

What You Get

Real tutoring — not a course you watch alone, not a study group of strangers. Weekly accountability with a coach who knows your case.

Weekly 1-on-1 Sessions

Live sessions with your Yousmle coach every week. Question reviews, concept clarification, study-plan adjustments — whatever you need that week.

Personalized Study Plan

A week-by-week plan built around your test date, NBME baseline, and personal weak areas. Adjusted as you progress — not static.

QBank Question Reviews

Bring your missed UWorld questions to your coach. Get back not just answers but the reasoning patterns to apply across hundreds of similar questions.

Anki Card Feedback with YousmleGPT

YousmleGPT reviews your Anki cards and suggests improvements. Most students' cards are silently sabotaging their retention — we fix that.

Discord Access Between Sessions

Stuck on a concept between sessions? Ask in the Yousmle Discord, where you can reach the Yousmle team. No waiting a week to unblock yourself.

Lecture Library + Anki Deck

Full access to Yousmle's 200+ concept lectures and the Step 1 Anki Deck for the duration of your engagement. Worth $400+ on its own.

How It Works

1

Free consultation

We assess where you are, what's holding you back, and whether coaching is the right fit for your timeline. No commitment.

2

Match with your coach

You're paired with a Yousmle coach whose background fits your situation (e.g., IMG, US MD, retake).

3

Build your plan together

First session: review your last NBME, build your week-by-week plan, set check-in cadence. You leave with clarity.

4

Weekly cadence until test day

Question reviews, concept work, plan adjustments. You're never alone in your prep again.

What Our Students Say

"I began my dedicated with a baseline of 228 on one of the newer NBMEs. And I finished after nine weeks with a 253."

228 → 253

Colin Goodman

"I ended up with a 243 after months of really pure dedicated focus studying question interpretation and it is the best feeling in the world."

Step 1: 243

Anna

"Dr. Palmerton's advice showed me how to study efficiently and think critically about every question. Even now, as an anesthesia resident, I still use what he taught me."

Step 1 scores shown are from before the exam became pass/fail.

Investment

Coaching isn't cheap — but compared to a delayed match, retake, or lost residency choice, it's a bargain.
