The problem

PA programs run on disconnected data.

Student information is scattered across half a dozen systems that don't talk to each other. Faculty spend hours every week manually pulling, merging, and analyzing data in spreadsheets.

At-risk students identified too late

Without connected data, struggling students aren't flagged until they've already fallen behind. Intervention comes after the damage is done.

Accreditation documentation is painful

ARC-PA wants evidence of systematic processes. Programs scramble to assemble data from five different systems into coherent reports before every site visit.

No way to predict PANCE outcomes

Programs know who passed or failed after the fact. Predicting who's at risk before boards? That requires connected data no single tool provides.

The suite

Three tools. One student lifecycle.

From application through board certification, every data point connected.

Product 01

Student Analytics & Performance Dashboard

Product 03

Clinical Skills Tracker

Each student gets a unique QR code. Preceptors scan, rate skills, and submit in under three minutes. No app, no account, no training. Replaces paper logs and expensive platforms like Typhon.

  • QR-based: preceptors scan and go, nothing to install
  • Complete skills log with student self-service portal
  • Gap analysis flags missing competencies across rotations
  • Directly addresses ARC-PA Standard B3 compliance

Built by a PA educator

Vruyr Galstyan, PA-C

I'm a physician assistant and faculty member at the Mount Saint Vincent PA Program in New York City, and a graduate of the CUNY School of Medicine PA Program.

I built OptiMed because I was living the problems it solves. Student data in six different systems. Hours of spreadsheet work every week. No way to see the full picture for any single student without pulling it all together manually. I started building tools to fix that, and what began as one dashboard became three integrated applications covering the entire student lifecycle.

All three tools are in active daily use by faculty and students at Mount Saint Vincent.

OptiMed Consulting

Your program is unique. Your tools should be too.

The suite handles what most PA programs need. But if your program has specific challenges, workflows, or data problems that go beyond off-the-shelf — that's where OptiMed Consulting comes in.

Custom Platform Development

Need a tool that doesn't exist yet? We build custom applications tailored to your program's specific workflows — whether it's a specialized tracking system, a custom reporting pipeline, or an integration with a system unique to your institution.

Data Integration & Unification

Your program's data lives in systems that were never designed to talk to each other. We connect your LMS, exam platforms, clinical tracking, registrar systems, and anything else into a unified data layer so you can finally see the full picture.

Program-Specific Analytics

Every program has questions only their data can answer. Which clinical sites produce the best outcomes? What admissions factors actually predict success at your institution? We build the models and dashboards to answer the questions that matter to you.

Accreditation & Outcomes Optimization

Preparing for an ARC-PA site visit or trying to move the needle on PANCE pass rates? We work directly with your team to identify gaps in your data infrastructure, build the reporting systems you need, and help you demonstrate outcomes with evidence, not spreadsheets.

The suite is the foundation. We build what goes on top.

Every PA program has challenges generic software can't solve. We work directly with your team, your data, and your workflows to build custom solutions that fit how your program actually operates.

Let's talk

See it in 15 minutes.

Book a quick demo and I'll walk you through how the suite works with one student's journey — from application to PANCE prediction.
