What we do:
Learning Strategies and Individualized Support & Coaching
- Offer one-on-one meetings to help students understand unique learning needs and goals to develop strategies that would best suit those needs.
- Assist with the development of a realistic, action-based plan to help students reach academic achievement and success.
- Meeting topics include medical school transition, effective study plans, test-taking strategies, note-taking techniques, study methods, time management, organization, prioritization, test anxiety, test data and error interpretation, and STEP test prep.
Content vs. Process Assessment
- Discern whether academic difficulties are related to content (subject matter) or process (study habits, time management, organization etc.).
- Guide students toward appropriate resources.
Collaboration and Referrals
- Collaborate with other student support offices, such as counseling services
- Referrals to the peer tutoring program and additional resources when needed.
