You've Spent 15 Years
Earning This Moment. Don't Let Board Prep Let You Down.
The oral boards aren't just another test. They're the milestone that validates everything — the late nights, the sacrifice, the thousands of hours in the OR. SimMed™ is the AI-powered preparation platform built by a plastic surgeon who's been exactly where you are.
Why SimMed Exists
Dr. Jacob Marks shares the story behind SimMed and what makes it different from every other board prep option available today.
Dr. Jacob M. Marks, MD
Founder, SimMed Education · Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
The Tools Haven't Kept Up With How You Actually Live.
You're balancing call schedules, early practice obligations, and a life outside the hospital. The standard options for oral board prep treat you like you have unlimited time and money. The oral boards are different — no multiple choice safety net, no process of elimination. Just you, an examiner, and cases you've never seen before.
University Prep Courses
$3,000+ and a full week away from your patients, your practice, and your family. Designed around the institution's schedule, not yours.
Study Groups
Only work when everyone's available at the same time. In residency, that's almost never.
Self-Study
Free, but silent. No feedback, no calibration, no way to know if you're actually ready until you're sitting across from an examiner.
Practice anywhere — available on
Board Certified
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Jacob M. Marks, MD
Trained in integrated plastic surgery at the University of Wisconsin and completed an aesthetic surgery fellowship at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, earning multiple awards for excellence in education, research, and clinical performance.
Preparing for the ABPS exam while managing early practice and real life, he saw exactly what was missing: a preparation experience that was accessible, realistic, and adaptive — one that actually reflected the demands of exam day, not just the content of a textbook.
He built SimMed™ because no tool like it existed. And because where you trained shouldn't determine whether you're ready.
"Not every candidate trains at a major academic center. But every candidate deserves the same quality of preparation."
— Dr. Jacob Marks, Founder & Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
