Support for ERAS

Study Skills Counseling + Educational Therapy

The transition from undergraduate studies to medical school or medical school to residency often requires upgrading study skills.

    Initial Consultation

    At Loren Academic Services, all of our services begin with an Initial Consultation. During this time, LAS reviews academic reports, transcripts, and neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluations, if applicable. The Initial Consultation is the first step in building a trusted working alliance. It provides an opportunity to listen and clarify learning goals, workflow, and a timeline. The Initial Consultation helps set expectations, identify concerns, and explore previous academic and test-taking experiences. Following the Initial Consultation, LAS provides a written report with an Individual Education Plan and measurable outcomes.

    Individual Education Plan

    For coaching and training services, LAS designs an Individual Education Plan for every client. The LAS plan includes information gathered during the initial consultation process, including historical information such as previous academic and test-taking experiences. This information is incorporated into the plan with defined learning goals, a timeline, daily workflow, and measurable outcomes. Each LAS Test Prep Plan includes measurable goals and an LAS Planner/Tracker for shared planning, progress tracking, and accountability.

Yes! There is a significant memorial benefit associated with recall practice and spaced repetition. In other words, when practice questions are used and re-used (with some parameters) test-takers will remember information more accurately and efficiently and achieve at higher levels. This phenomenon is referred to as the testing effect.
