Student Comments I wanted to let you know that I used the charting techniques I learned in Study Without Stress a lot during our toughest semester…and raised my class ranking forty spots!!! It was especially useful for Pharm, Micro and Path. Annie Chang, DO
There are not words to express my appreciation. You gave me the tools I needed to study. As a matter of fact, I showed one of my classmates the chart I made for one of the topics and she created one too. You're awesome. Thank you a million times. “When I began medical school, I was confronted with a mountain of technical information. Unfortunately, I had little idea how to tackle such a monumental task. I was literally overwhelmed and doubted my ability to survive this training. Then one day I heard of Study Without Stress, a workshop taught by Dr. Kelman and Ms. Straker. The title of the course seemed an impossibility to me, but I went to them anyway. They asked me to trust them, to follow their lead, and they would help me. It was true. That workshop led to this book, and led me to success during the most difficult years of my life. “If you read their manual, and if you follow what they say, you will study better, study faster, recall more efficiently and learn more than you ever thought possible. I know. I was one of the many who saw a dramatic change. I found this course to be a turning point in my medical education and its techniques still serve me today in my professional career. To Jean and Kathy, I give my unending thanks. You saved me! “Give this excellent guide and these wonderful educators a chance, and you, too, can study without stress.” Kent R. Folsom, MD “This book should be mandatory reading for anyone contemplating a professional health education curriculum…. I used this study system to survive medical school…. Even after residency, I have continued to refer back to the charts I made. “I was excited to hear that Jean and Kathy were publishing their study plan so that even more students could benefit from their guidance. The workbook format encourages the reader not only to read the book … but also empowers the student to take personal control of their study system.” Laura McGuinn, MD “Study Without Stress…is an excellent book for students who need to acquire, assimilate and put to use a large body of knowledge in a relatively short period of time…. By using this system in medical school, I greatly improved my exam scores. But now I find that I have better retention of the knowledge that I utilize daily in my patient care. These techniques have helped me become more efficient with my studies (which don’t end with the completion of school!) with better time management. “Also they have given me much better recall by helping me structure the information in my mind for better access…. By using this approach I was able to go from a struggling medical student to a knowledgeable resident to a confident fellow. This system has helped me greatly in achieving my goals.” W. Scott Warner, MD “The rigors of medical school demand a level of academic performance that is unique in both volume and level of focus required. Med school is tough enough. Don’t deny yourself a tool to both increase your performance and help you effectively manage your life. Having expended so much effort to get to medical school, don’t sell yourself short once you have arrived: Get and use this book right now!” Dave Fuller
Thank you so much for everything that you have done for us this semester! It really did help a lot. I ended up with 2 A's and 2 B's this semester, and the B's that I had were really high B's too! I know that I would not have been able to do it if wasn't for your awesome study strategies. I just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am for the time you took … and that I really did succeed with your tips. Thank you again Cindy |
