Who We Are

  • What’s in a name? Underdog Academic Consulting was born from the idea that no matter the setbacks or challenges you face, if medicine is your calling then together we can come out on top.

    Our founder, Dr. Martin, has long considered herself an underdog. After attending Boise State University as a Division One Athlete, she continued her education at Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences. Despite the ongoing challanges Osteopathic Physicians face today, she scored in the top 80th percentile in the nation on her medical board exams and secured a top five nationally ranked residency in the field of Anesthesia.

    “ I am passionate about facilitating the success of the next generation. The path to medicine can be rocky and isolating at times; let us be on your team! “

    -Dr. Katelyn Martin, DO

“Working with Katelyn was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly responsive, transparent, and helpful throughout our session. She answered all questions without hesitation, and provided realistic yet empowering advice about applying to residencies. Her positivity and encouragement were appreciated, and she motivated me to pursue my goals with confidence. She truly cared about helping me not just in one session but throughout my time during 3rd and 4th year rotations. Overall, I highly recommend Katelyn to anyone who wants invaluable insight from someone who genuinely wants to see them succeed!” - Amanda Katz, OMS III
