Even with great content, residents may not know the best way to lock all the must-know information into their long term memory. Our Core (both Peds and IM) comes with a secret weapon to supercharge your residents' learning: Personal Trainer. It incorporates the science of learning and automates your residents' learning plans. Let's dive into what Personal Trainer is and why it's the ultimate study tool for your program.
Personal Trainer is a super-smart, interactive study guide that creates personalized, adjustable learning plans according to your residents' study pace and goals. Developed to make residents' study time more effective, Personal Trainer uses the MedStudy Method to guide them through our Core (and Q&As if your residents have them!) and lock must-know information into their long-term memories.
How? By combining the best evidence-based learning techniques into a system that takes residents through the 3 essential phases of learning for each topic. This makes TRULY learning medicine easier.
Three essential phases of learning
You already know that MedCentral (formerly ResCentral) makes teaching medicine easier by allowing you to create assignments and check on your residents’ progress.
Well, Personal Trainer makes learning medicine easier. It keeps your residents on track as it walks them through the phases of learning—it’s their tool for managing their study load. If your residents have our Core books, they also have Personal Trainer. And it's even better if they have Q&As, too, because the Core and Q&As are interlinked with each other and Personal Trainer.
Personal Trainer helps residents:
Personal Trainer helps your residents manage their study load, complete their assignments, and learn the must-know information, all on their own!
