About Me

Hello! Welcome to Master Your Boards, a learning community grounded in the science of learning (i.e., learning how to learn). I am Adrian Reynolds, Ph.D., YOUR learning coach. I am a medical education professor at a Research 1 university. The science of learning is my calling, and I'd love to share it with you. 

I help physicians, residents, and medical students use  research-based test-taking and study strategies to PASS specialty board exams and USMLEs. I work with physicians across a broad range of specialties including, but not limited to pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, critical care medicine, neonatology, and psychiatry.

It's this simple: Clients who  follow my blueprint pass their exams. My Memorization to Mastery Formula has yielded a 100% pass rate for the general pediatrics board exam. Yes, 100%.

My coaching techniques have helped reduce test-related anxiety and self-doubt while increasing motivation. If you have historically struggled with standardized tests, Master Your Boards is for you. 

If you have taken your exam multiple times, but still can't pass, Master Your Boards will diagnose the problem and help you implement a practical solution. I'll help you rebuild that confidence and motivation you have lost after many failed attempts. 

I am the recipient of Legacy Magazine's "40 Under 40 Leaders of Today and Tomorrow". As an educational linguist, medical educator, (former) teacher of English as a second language (ESL) and Spanish as a foreign language, I have over 17 years of teaching experience in the science of learning.

Given my interdisciplinary background, I am uniquely positioned to coach physicians across specialties, linguistic and cultural backgrounds on how to implement research-based study strategies that will increase their chances of passing their board exams.

In all my interactions with learners of diverse backgrounds, I have identified one consistent theme: Studying for standardized tests goes far beyond knowing your content. To earn that competitive score, you must be able to master study and test-taking strategies that will, in turn, lead to content mastery. Together, we can make it happen. Let's begin the journey! As a start, I’ll introduce you to the three guiding principles that shape the culture of this learning community. Say them out loud:

1. I am not defined by the obstacles of my past.
2. I have the power to shape my own destiny.
3. I declare I am who I hope to be.
