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.
AplombMD provides one-on-one mock medical school interviews, MMI prep, and traditional interview coaching for applicants across the U.S. Our physician-led sessions help you strengthen your communication, highlight your lived experiences, and learn what interviewers are really listening for. Whether you're a first-time applicant, a non-traditional student, or reapplying after a gap year, AplombMD offers tailored coaching to help you present your best self, reduce interview anxiety, and improve your acceptance outcomes.
“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 desire to help aspiring physicians reach their dreams. 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.”
