ABOUT MSCLLC

As the Founder of MedStudentCoach LLC (MSCLLC), I guide and support premedical students (high school/college/postgraduate), medical students, and residents in their journey to and through medical school into the practice of medicine with a focus on promoting wellness during the process.

As a graduate of the UCLA School of Medicine and trained in Internal Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, I transitioned from medical practice to pursue my passion for medical education. Based upon my 20+ years of experience in medical education [including my current role teaching and interviewing as an Associate Clinical Professor at CUSOM and my prior role as the ATSU-SOMA Assistant Dean of Student Achievement and Admissions Committee Member], I have and continue to serve actively with medical admissions processes and also advise and support medical students from admissions to their transition from medical school into residency.

DEMONSTRATED OUTCOMES

Medical School Admissions:

My clients have experienced success with admissions to many highly competitive combined (BS/BA-MD/DO) programs, medical schools (MD and DO; including many Tier 1/Tier 2 and Texas medical schools) throughout the nation.

Residency Matching:

I have supported my clients through their journeys in medical school, optimizing their competitiveness for residency matching. In my role as the ATSU-SOMA Assistant Dean of Students responsible for medical student academic support, career guidance, and residency matching, I have had a 99+% residency match success rate (and 100% now through MSCLLC)! I look forward to working with you to plan for your success!

"Dr. Vora was an instrumental part of my success during medical school and beyond. In addition to her excellent teaching skills, she has been a constant source of intellectual and professional support and mentorship. Dr. Vora has a unique and seemingless effortless ability to connect medical students and trainees with people and opportunities that match their interests and goals. In spite of her immense administrative and teaching responsibilities in a large medical school, Dr. Vora was always available as I navigated medical school and the challenge of choosing a medical specialty. This became particularly important within the unique framework of my medical school training program, wherein much of the learning takes place in the clinical setting often states away from the main campus for years. Dr. Vora's ongoing mentorship was a lifeline during those challenging years, giving me several opportunities to advance my academic success and ultimately guiding me to a specialty that is the perfect fit. While I have no doubt she served as a mentor to many, having Dr. Vora "in my court" imparted a unique strength and joy to my medical school journey. Dr. Vora's knowledge and kind, commanding presence is an ongoing source of inspiration and strength in my life and my profession. As a happy, successful physician, I wholeheartedly suggest that any medical student and trainee take advantage of the opportunity to work with Dr. Vora."
