Executive Functioning Support
LAS Medical Coaches™ are trained and skilled at helping students develop self-organization and self-regulation skills, among other executive functions. LAS develops individual education plans that integrate executive functioning skill development in measurable ways. We take the time to understand individual needs and provide structure, support, and accountability in all LAS Coaching and Consulting services.
Case Management
LAS provides case management services on an individual basis. Case management services are incorporated into an individual plan and supported by an assigned LAS Coach during weekly coaching sessions that include measurable goals. LAS incorporates case management services into remediation plans, professional improvement plans, and individual education plans. They are designed on an individual basis and are among the services that differentiate LAS from traditional tutoring companies.
Clinical Social Work

She designed the LAS Medical Coaching™ Model using a systems perspective and relationship-based model to engage clients and provide support for academic and professional goals. All LAS Medical Coaches™ are trained in principles of clinical social work to better understand each student in context and address their learning and achievement goals in measurable ways.

Study Skills Counseling + Educational Therapy
LAS Coaching provides integrative academic support that includes study skills counseling, test preparation, remediation, and educational therapy.
Clients seek LAS services for many reasons; though it is often due to the transition from college to medical school, from medical school to residency, preparation for a high-stakes exam, a significant life change, or the need for professional development. Either way, LAS understands the critical demands associated with developing and deepening medical knowledge and clinical skills in medical and allied health science education.
LAS Medical Coaches™ offer strategies for learning, memory, prioritizing, and self-reflecting, among others, to learn how to learn and achieve in a highly compressed time frame. LAS Medical Coaches™ address learning difficulties, diagnosed and subclinical learning disabilities, attention deficits, and requests for accommodations.

LAS Medical Coaches™ have expertise in designing strategies and techniques that work with accommodations to enhance learning and achievement.

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.
