This is the ideal course for most students as it allows the time to learn, practice, and master the individual skill sets. True behavioral change takes time. Through directed practice and one-on-one feedback with targeted suggestions for improvement, we seek to ensure that students are able to effectively integrate their new Med H.E.L.P. skills and methodologies into their lives once they enter or return to school or resume independent study for boards. All Medical H.E.L.P. courses will be online-only, via Zoom, with a limit of 6 students per course. Contact us soon to reserve your spot in the course.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Below is a brief outline of the curriculum for the Four-Week Comprehensive Program:<\/h2>\n<h2>\u00a0Study Skills:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Previewing correctly before a learning activity<\/li>\n<li>Listening actively and improved note-taking during lecture<\/li>\n<li>Utilizing improved memory techniques and strategies<\/li>\n<li>Self-testing as opposed to simply reviewing<\/li>\n<li>Reading critically and purposefully<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Test-Taking:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Deploying test-taking methodologies for classroom tests, shelf exams, and boards<\/li>\n<li>Working with medical vignette-style formatted questions<\/li>\n<li>Avoiding common test-taking errors<\/li>\n<li>Working with partial knowledge to strategically narrow choices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Time Management:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prioritizing and preserving personal study time<\/li>\n<li>Creating and maintaining a daily, weekly, and long-term schedule<\/li>\n<li>Allowing time for friends and loved ones<\/li>\n<li>Including time for a healthy you: sleep, exercise, and nutrition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Organization:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating and maintaining your optimal study space<\/li>\n<li>Getting and staying organized \u2013 home and school<\/li>\n<li>Improving organization for course notes and study materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Sample Schedule for the Four-Week Comprehensive Program:<\/h2>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"709\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"457\">Monday &#8211; Friday<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"252\">Weekends:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"457\">Approx: 9:00 am &#8211; 12:00 pm \u2013 Small Group Sessions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Presentation of day&#8217;s lesson<\/li>\n<li>Guided practice with examples<\/li>\n<li>Homework presentation and analysis<\/li>\n<li>Discussion and Question\/Answer sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"4\" valign=\"top\" width=\"252\">\n<ul>\n<li>Homework assigned each weekend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">Homework starts out lighter and increases in intensity and duration over the four weeks of the program<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Typically, the more time and practice that the student invests while here, the more they take away from the program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"457\">12:00 pm \u2013 Break<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"457\">Afternoon meetings between 2:00 pm &#8211; 5:00 pm:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meet with lead instructor one to two hours weekly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"457\">Evenings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Homework completion and optional self-directed practice on own academic material<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Tuition:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>$5,000 &#8212; Includes books, supplies, and materials.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our most popular course, the Four-Week Comprehensive Program, is invaluable for helping students make lasting changes in their academic and personal lives.
