About
Hello, My name is Ty and I have had the honor and privilege of working in the field of medical education for several decades. I came to medical education in a circuitous manner, often learning on the job. I returned for more education, including a Masters Degree in Education and Instructional Design, as well as a PhD in Education with a specialization in Adult Learning & Development. I have worked with learners at all levels, from medical school applicants to faculty development. I have reviewed thousands of medical school and residency applications, personal statements, letters of recommendation and interviewed scores of applicants for both training phases. I have worked at two excellent medical schools - one in the Northeast and the other in the Southeast and have been able to learn from their similarities and their differences. I have recently retired from my full time position in medical education, yet I am not ready to leave the world of medical education behind completely. I have so much knowledge and experience to share and would be delighted to speak with you about YOUR journey and how best to attain your goals.
Ty’s Medical School Qualifications
80+ Medical School clients
Ty has helped clients get into these schools:
With over 20 years in medical education, I am a passionate coach and mentor to those seeking admission to medical school, as well as to medical students applying for residency programs. Having served as an MMI Interviewer I have a strong understanding of the qualities and traits that admissions committees are seeking. Working closely with medical students from first to fourth year, I have coached and mentored dozens of medical students as they navigate the residency application and interview process. I am particularly drawn to learners who are first generation college students and/or come from socio-economically challenged backgrounds. I believe medicine needs learners who reflect the patient populations they will serve and who bring intelligence, compassion, and a strong work ethic. It is my mission to help those learners achieve their goals.

Why do I coach?
I am very grateful for having the benefit of an incredible mentor and coach who not only saw potential in me that I had not considered, but who also encouraged, coached, guided, and supported me in my journey from being a first generation college student to earning my PhD in Education with a specialization in Adult Learning & Development. Coaching is a way for me to give back and it is immensely gratifying to become a part of another's journey forward.
