For Medical Schools Serious About Retention

80% of Dropouts Cite Psychological Factors.
Yet Most Schools Only Measure Grades.

StayonMD gives medical schools the behavioral analytics and early intervention tools to identify at-risk students before they're in crisis—and support them before they leave.

This isn't another student wellness survey. It's a comprehensive retention platform that combines pre-matriculation readiness with real-time behavioral monitoring.

In Development

Medical Schools Are Losing Students They Could Have Saved

  • • 80% of medical school dropouts cite psychological factors—not academic failure
  • • Most schools only intervene after students are failing exams
  • • By the time red flags appear, students have often already decided to leave
  • • Traditional "wellness programs" are reactive, not predictive

Here's what's actually happening:

A first-year student starts missing small group sessions. Their quiz scores drop slightly—still passing, so no alerts. They stop attending study groups. They withdraw socially from peers. By the time they reach out for help, they're already burnt out.

The student leaves. The school says "we had no idea."

But the data was there. You just weren't tracking it.

The Solution

StayonMD: Predictive Retention, Not Reactive Intervention

StayonMD is a two-part system designed to identify and support at-risk students before they reach crisis point.

Module 1: LaunchPadPre-Matriculation Readiness

Most schools do orientation. LaunchPad builds psychological preparation.

  • Stress Inoculation Training: Help incoming students develop coping strategies before the pressure hits.
  • Expectation Calibration: Address the gap between expectations and reality—reducing shock and disappointment.
  • Resilience Baseline Assessment: Know who needs extra support from day one.
  • Community Building: Peer connections before classes start.
Module 2: PulseBehavioral Analytics Dashboard

Real-time early-warning system for student well-being.

  • Engagement Metrics: Attendance patterns, participation, resource utilization.
  • Social Integration: Peer interaction, study group participation, isolation indicators.
  • Performance Trends: Grade trajectories, preparation patterns.
  • Well-Being Indicators: Self-reported stress, counseling utilization.

The Promise

Medical schools don't just retain more students—they graduate physicians who are mentally equipped for the long game.
