With these exams standing in the way of you treating the patients that are out there waiting for you, the thought of them can feel overwhelming. Thus, Compitis course was born!
You're more than likely closer to passing your medical board exam than you think! Before launching the Compitis, I Joseph Varney MD, went through the diagnostics of my 1,000+ students and realized there was a trend. The vast majority of students were 1-3 points away from passing. Meaning, they were right there! They weren't a system or subject away but rather a singular concept.
This means that a single concept stood in the way of many students from completing their life goal of becoming practicing physicians. Learning this drove me absolutely mad! Considering the massive shortage of doctors worldwide, my team and I knew something had to be done. After 6-month working tirelessly, we have successfully completed the Compitis course to help pass students the NBME Comp and STEP-1.

"I teach everything at an 8th-grade level, regardless of the subject or system. If the student understands it simply and superficially first, then they have the ability to deeply understand it. Most professors teach at their respective level, which explains why everything you learn in undergrad is short-term learning with no application to real life. On the other hand, this is medicine. The student will eventually be caring for patients; thus, I need them to remember as much as possible."

"Joseph is the crutch you can lean on, the podium you can stand on, and the confidence you can count on when studying for extremely high stakes exams like Step 1. Dr. Varney is prompt, approachable, confident, and clear with his expectations in addition to flexible scheduling. His curated study plans emphasize important material to aid in clarifying concepts. He is especially helpful in explaining why certain answers are more correct than others, often consolidating information to retrieve the right answer."
