Steve Blatt, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist with over 15 years of clinical and teaching experience. He is a nationally recognized expert in helping medical students, residents, and practicing physicians overcome self-doubt. In 2019, Steve launched Face It & Ace It, a video series to help overcome the fear of failure when studying for stressful exams. He has coached multiple clients who have underperformed on test day in the past because of stress, and who were preparing for a high stakes exam that their careers depended on — from USMLE steps to specialty boards. 100% of his clients — yes, 100% — got the exam score they needed (or better), and cited Steve’s coaching as a key reason for their success.

In 2022, Steve gave a TEDx talk on overcoming self-doubt for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, DC. He has been a podium speaker on the topic of self-doubt for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology, the Association of VA Ophthalmologists, Loyola University Chicago, and the University of Colorado.
