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.
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.
