Mock medical school interviews designed to help you stand out. Led by a board-certified physician, AplombMD prepares you to interview with purpose, professionalism, and poise.

About AplombMD

My name is Dr. Nicole Forsythe and I am the Founder and Owner of AplombMD (A-plom-MD). I am a board-certified physician who has been practicing medicine post-fellowship for over 10 years.  I still remember the journey that allowed me to achieve my goal of treating patients and making a difference in their lives.  

“Aplomb” means Self-confidence, Assurance or Poise, especially in a demanding situation - and that is exactly what AplombMD aims to instill in every future physician. AplombMD was born out of my firm belief that every medical school applicant should achieve their dream of becoming a physician. Let us work together with confidence, clarity and commitment.

Why I Started AplombMD

It excites me to know that I can make an impact on each medical student being accepted into medical school, ultimately becoming a physician, and directly impacting thousands of patients over their medical career span.

Knowing that receiving an invitation for a medical school interview brings applicants one step closer to achieving their dreams, my mission is to empower aspiring physicians with the confidence, clarity, and composure needed to excel in medical school interviews. Through personalized coaching, strategic preparation, and professional mentorship, I equip candidates with the skills and mindset to present their authentic selves with aplomb, turning potential into success.

“Helping you show up with clarity, confidence, and aplomb.”
