From M1 to Match Day
Match success is built years before applications open. But many students aren’t sure which early choices actually matter, and the demands of medical school make it easy to go on autopilot. This leads to missed opportunities or even worse, devoting time to activities that won’t help you achieve your match goals.
Class Act’s Medical School Performance Coaching (MSPC) offers structured, longitudinal support from M1 – Match Day. It’s designed to help you establish a strong academic foundation, make informed decisions, and build a cohesive, competitive match application over time.
Academics
How you study, how you perform, and how you position yourself for strong grades, board scores, and academic recognition.
Research
Meaningful scholarly work with clear direction, mentorship, and tangible output.
Community & Service Involvement
Consistent, longitudinal involvement in student interest groups, outreach initiatives, and extracurricular activities that reflects commitment, reliability, and character.
Mentorship & Sponsorship
Foster relationships with faculty and senior peers at your school who guide your development, advocate for you, and support strong letters of recommendation.
Specialty & Clinical Readiness
Preparation for rotations, strong evaluations, and the ability to perform in clinical environments.
Meet Class Act's Medical School Coaches
Dr. Isaac Abraham is a Child & Adolescent Psychiatry fellow at Case Western Reserve University / University Hospitals. He completed his Adult Psychiatry residency at NYMC at St. Mary’s and St. Clare’s Hospital, where he received the Outstanding Resident Award for his dedication to education and clinical excellence. Having recently navigated every stage of medical training himself, Dr. Abraham brings an informed, current perspective on what it takes to succeed from M1 through Match Day.
“Mentoring the next generation of physicians is work I take just as seriously as patient care. I know from experience that a single, well-timed piece of guidance can change the trajectory of a student’s performance, application, and match outcome. My coaching style blends structured strategy with the self-awareness and communication skills I developed through psychiatric training, so my students leave each session with a strong plan AND the confidence to execute it. I’m here to help every student I work with translate the hard work of M1 through M4 into a residency application and a career they are proud of.”
Dr. Brett Hansen began his career with a degree in Exercise Physiology and graduate studies in Nutrition before attending medical school. Following his time as Chief Neurology Resident, he advanced into leadership roles across complex healthcare settings, overseeing multidisciplinary clinics and mentoring residents as a Clinical Assistant Professor and Neurology Site Director. He has also advised program directors, healthcare managers, and executives. Most recently, he completed Mayo Clinic’s Executive Health & Wellness Coach training.
“My professional journey has always been rooted in a deep interest for human performance and holistic health. I am incredibly passionate about coaching the upcoming generation of physicians as they begin their own professional journeys. My goal is to guide residents and young doctors to realize their potential, helping them to thrive with excitement and joy rather than simply surviving their training. My mission is to empower students using scientifically proven methods that are personalized to every individual so they can build careers that are both professionally rewarding and deeply meaningful.”

Beyond Mentorship: An Intentional Approach to Medical School
Getting into medical school is a major accomplishment. It also marks the beginning of a period where small decisions accumulate into long-term outcomes. Residency programs evaluate patterns built over time:
- Longitudinal clinical and service involvement that demonstrates sustained commitment, not short-term or last-minute participation.
- Cumulative academic performance, including class rank, exam trends, and early board-style reasoning.
- Sustained research efforts that progress into presentations, abstracts, and meaningful scholarly output.
- Faculty relationships developed over time that lead to strong, personalized letters of recommendation.
Students who plan strategically and establish effective systems are far better positioned to build lasting momentum across all these areas.

What happens in your Study Optimization session:
This session is designed to strengthen how you approach studying so your time and effort translate into consistent results. During the meeting, you’ll:
- Analyze your current study approach, schedule, and workload.
- Identify where time is being lost, overused, or misallocated.
- Review the resources you’re using and determine what should be kept, adjusted, or eliminated.
- Clarify your immediate priorities based on your current block, exams, and performance.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a:
- Structured weekly study system tailored to your schedule.
- Concrete plan for how to approach your next exam block.
- Realistic framework you can follow without second-guessing.
What you leave with after each session:
Each coaching session is designed to move you forward in measurable ways. After every meeting, you will leave with:
- A clear plan for the next 2–4 weeks.
- Specific adjustments to your study structure based on what is or isn’t working.
- Defined priorities so you know exactly what to focus on and what to put on the shelf.
- Accountability checkpoints to keep you consistent between sessions.
