I am Dr. Nazanin Ahmadieh, a board-certified OB-GYN with a passion for mentoring and helping others succeed. I created Beyond The Speculum because I remember exactly what it felt like preparing for the oral boards—overwhelmed, unsure where to start, discouraged by high cost of prep courses, and craving honest, practical guidance.

With years of experience in both clinical practice and medical education, I bring a real-world approach to board prep. I’ve trained residents, coached peers, and helped physicians refine their case lists, sharpen their communication, and walk into their exam with confidence.

This isn’t just about reviewing content—it’s about getting into the mindset of the exam. Together, we’ll focus on how to think like a board examiner, speak with clarity and purpose, and enter the testing zone with calm, focused energy. I’ll help you anticipate the rhythm of the conversation, manage anxiety, and feel grounded in your own clinical voice.

Whether you're feeling stuck, need help organizing your material, or just want to practice out loud in a judgment-free zone, I’m here to help.

Let’s make your oral boards feel less like a mystery and more like a conversation you’re ready to lead.
