Coaching In Medical Education Enhanced By DocTutorial’s App V 4.0.1

Students who enroll with medical entrance exam coaching centers often evaluate their choice of institutes based on two factors. They look into the coaching institute’s curriculum and past success. Equally, they look at their own goals and expectations. Students expect that the role of any coaching institute is to help them get top ranks and scores to get the medical seats of choice at top colleges.

In all this evaluation, many students need to see if the medical education coaching methods of the institutes they choose will suit them. Various centers adopt differing training patterns to give their audiences a clear advantage.

DocTutorials (one of India’s premier online medical entrance exam coaching institutes) prepares its students for tough exams like the NEET PG, NEET SS, FMGE, INICET, MBBS, PG Residency, and INISS. The faculty members at DocTutorials are top-notch – but not just because they are great doctors and teachers. They are great at teaching students to become confident and continuous learners, even after passing their degrees and becoming full-fledged doctors.

Let’s review how the best coaching in medical education can help students – and then look at DocTutorial’s programs that foster the right coaching approach to help students immensely.

What coaching can do for a student – an example we can all understand

According to a medical paper titled “A definition for coaching in medical education” by Jeffrey Landreville et al, in the National Library of Medicine, the example of Roger Federer, the tennis ace, is quoted as very close to what medical coaching must aspire to do for every student.

“As the number 1 ranked tennis player for a record 310 weeks, Roger Federer represents one of the most successful professional athletes of our time. While he undoubtedly possesses a remarkable amount of self-motivation, dedication, and athleticism, there is another factor to consider: he has a coach. In fact, he has a team of coaches who work on every aspect of his game with a common goal of performance enhancement. In a recent tribute to his coaches on social media, Federer wrote: ‘Could never have been the oldest #1 without my team. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.'”

The first tenet of coaching, as DocTutorials also sees it, is that students face such a fiercely competitive environment that they need coaching to raise them to succeed beyond being good to being great.

The optimal mix between coaching, advising, and mentoring – and how it can make a difference

According to the book “Coaching in Medical Education”, authored by Maya M. Hammoud et al, part of the American Medical Association’s MedEd Innovation Series, when medical students are asked what they value most about their faculty, three types of answers usually emanate.

One, they seem to appreciate the quality of teaching that the faculty imparts on pure medical knowledge. They need to feel that their teachers and instructors are very qualified people who are worthy of industry respect and know their subjects inside out.

Two, students seem to appreciate it a lot when their teachers also play the role of advisers. When advisers are assigned to aspirants, they first get experience in the learner’s area of need – and then provide customized oversight, advice, answers, and guidance to the student, according to the need.

Three, students like looking up to their faculty members as mentors and role models who have achieved advanced academic renown and experience. Yet, students also like to feel comfortable (and not over-awed) in a two-way dialogue with their mentors. Being able to share joys and challenges with mentors, and getting encouragement from them, makes students feel empowered.

At DocTutorials, the faculty teams embody the best of teaching, advising, and mentoring.

4 benefits that any medical coaching must have – that you get at DocTutorials

According to John A Spencer in the paper titled “Learner-centred approaches in medical education”, published in the British Medical Journal, any medical coaching must have four clear goals that are all student-centric. DocTutorials, too, follows this principle.

  • Coaching must provide students with a space for progressive improvement in academic, personal, and professional performance.
  • Coaching must ensure student well-being, including mental clarity and balance, emotional confidence, psychological resilience, and physical adaptability.
  • Coaching must ensure that teacher guidance is as essential as autonomous learning. Both systems of coaching must be concurrent and synergistic.
  • Coaching must encourage students to establish continuous reflection, goal-setting, and lifelong learning habits. More than any other profession, the medical field requires people to be eternal students with a high degree of passion for serving society and saving precious lives in the best and most up-to-date ways possible.

Upgradation via the new DocTutorial’s coaching app V 4.0.1 – for the year 2024

DocTutorials has always believed in a Multi-Disciplinary Approach (MDA) to training its students. This approach envisages a well-rounded coverage of all medical knowledge (taught via diverse formats of learning like text, lectures, videos, quizzes, tests and discussions). The approach also focuses on learning practices that modern-day doctors need.

DocTutorial’s new upgraded coaching app, Version 4.0.1, is geared toward increasing information absorption and memorizing capabilities. This V 4.0.1 app has a lot of enriched, immersive, and experiential content.

The many coaching methods used by DocTutorial’s experts and the curriculum include these:

Faculty-experience benefits of the curriculum and app

1. Integrated MCQ Discussion Videos (IMDVs) – learning from insightful debates

In these IMDVs, students can watch deliberations between faculty members who discuss vital topics (including New Pattern MCQs). These IMDVs can enlighten students on topic nuances they may otherwise miss.

2. Video Lectures – gaining from rich expertise

There are hours of video content covering a full range of 19 subjects. These include 2D/3D animations to enhance experiential understanding. They also help retain in memory all that is taught.

3. Live Sessions – getting first-hand knowledge

Live classes are great opportunities for students to interact closely with faculty members to clear their doubts and queries. They can also take guidance on preparations for the Quick Revision Programmes (QRPs).

4. System Based Integrated Test Series (SBITs) – acquiring a deeper understanding

Students are taught about the human body via its various systems. This enables students to grasp the importance of each system – and further, granular learning facilitates greater comprehension.

5. Test & Discussion (T&D) sessions – leveraging immense experience

These are held to sharpen student’s grasping skills. Faculty members expose students to potential exam questions (supported by images and videos).

Autonomous learning benefits of the curriculum and app

1. Test Series – practicing constantly, preparing diligently

There is a packed calendar of subject, revision, grand, and elite tests. Doing tests with regular frequency helps both in memorizing topics and losing any fear of exams.

2. QBank 2nd Edition – asking more, absorbing more

The QBank 2nd Edition aggregates past question papers and New Pattern additions. It has Image Based Questions (IBQs) and 20,000+ Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs).

3. Leaderboard – raising the bar, boosting the effort

This serves as an up-to-date ranking table showing students their scores across quizzes and tests. Students can assess their performance against peers and know the areas of study on which they need to focus more.

In summary

DocTutorial’s coaching app V 4.0.1 for NEET PG students has all the tools and techniques for coaching in medical education that students can leverage. Just download, sign up, and subscribe to the app to get a firm foundation and expert guidance for success. The future is already here.

Learning Strategies for Medical Students with DocTutorials App

One of the most challenging aspects of being a medical student is having to deal with a tremendous amount of study material to remember, theoretically and practically. The syllabus of any medical exam is vast, and medical science is proliferating too. Keeping everything learnt in memory feels next to impossible.

Even so, we get well-educated doctors, year after year, totally competent in all they have studied. How do they retain all the knowledge they have acquired? How do they recall everything they need to know when diagnosing a patient for an illness? How do they have space in their minds for more information about new medical inventions and discoveries?

It all comes down to having some specific learning methods for medical study. Psychologists have done quite a bit of research on practices that students in the medical field can use to absorb information better.

Some medical curricula, like those taught by DocTutorials (one of Indias premier online medical entrance exam coaching institutes), are cleverly structured to guide students in distinctly productive ways.

Let’s examine first what psychologists say about knowledge acquisition approaches for students of medical courses – and then examine the curricula at DocTutorials to see how well it is planned.

3 problems medical learners face when mastering large amounts of information

According to Rishi Desai and Shiv Gaglani, in their paper “How To Study In Medical School”, published by MSD Manual, they say, “The volume of information that you need to take in and memorise in medical school is much greater than in college. Some students compare the flow of information coming at them to drinking out of a fire hose.”

They refer to the three biggest hurdles students face in medical courses and suggest how to overcome these:

Rapid forgetting is the first hurdle. The volume of what medical qualification aspirants must know is enormous. It’s easy for students minds to forget as a self-preservation response. The best strategies to combat this are spaced repetition (re-studying material repeatedly at regular periodic intervals) and interleaved practice (testing on memorised materials in a mixed-up fashion).

Passive studying is the second hurdle. It’s what tired minds do when they must imbibe something new or extra to what they have already gleaned. Students may be tempted to read from their textbooks without engaging the mind to absorb the material. By far, testing frequently is believed to be the best way to shake students minds out of disengagement.

Reversion to past behaviours is the third hurdle. It occurs when students in medical disciplines use the same information retention techniques that helped them in earlier education. Psychologists believe there has to be a new mindset born in those studying for medical degrees. If they sense the importance of their future professions as socially-valuable doctors, it will trigger their motivation to assimilate information beyond ordinary levels.

5 simple memory-building techniques medical students will find invaluable

In an article by Windsor.edu titled “5 Science-Backed Learning Strategies for Medical Students”, they have tips for improving study schedules and patterns.

Splitting study material into manageable chunks or lots

Students may vary in how much they can absorb in a given study session. So, when breaking up large amounts of study material into smaller manageable chunks, they have to see their individual memory thresholds. This type of study is the opposite of large volumes of overnight cramming before tests.

Taking adequate breaks between any two study sessions

Breaks refresh minds – and if two different study sessions on two different subjects are scheduled, breaks will help ease minds out of the first subject and slide into the next one. Staying active during breaks – like taking walks, stretching muscles or doing other chores – can refresh minds faster.

• Increasing blood to the brain via safe aerobic workouts

Aerobic exercises can have both long- and short-term effects on mind-building ability. They can improve cognition and memory by boosting blood flow to the brain. With their brains getting a good supply of oxygen and vital nutrients, students can energize their sympathetic nervous systems, which are responsible for increased memory.

Learning to overcome the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve is a well-known memory model in psychology. Its premise is that information will slip out of memory over time – unless action is taken to keep it there. Researchers say humans will forget approximately 50% of any new information within one hour. So, revising lectures daily is not just a nice thing to do; it’s imperative.

Studying before night sleep works wonders for memory

It’s age-old wisdom that the last thoughts gathered before a night’s sleep get deeply embedded into the brain. Scientific research now validates this ancient idea. Also, the quality of sleep at night can help in the process. Deep undisturbed sleep can enhance memory even better.

The upgraded DocTutorials coaching app Version 2.023 enhances ease of study

Following the best practices in medical teaching, DocTutorials has developed its Multi-Disciplinary Approach (MDA) to train its students for tough medical entrance exams like NEET PG, NEET SS, FMGE, INICET and INISS.

The principle that DocTutorials adopts is that education for medical proficiency should be structured for ease of memorising and retention and should have diverse components to it for a 360-degree subject understanding.

With this dictum underlying its coaching methods, DocTutorials new upgraded coaching app Version 2.023 is geared towards enhancing students information absorption capabilities, making them ready for Year 2023.

This new app is replete with enriched, immersive content structured in a user-friendly, experience-centric menu:

  • Video Lectures – with hours of content on the full range of 19 subjects: Enhanced with technologically-superior 2D/3D animations, these videos encourage experiential comprehension of critical topics. They bring theoretical knowledge into the realm of practical reality.
  • 70+ Integrated MCQ Discussion Videos (IMDVs) – featuring expert faculty: These IMDVs can be enlightening for students as they help solve New Pattern MCQs. By watching debates between renowned faculty members, they can get a grip on complex topics with varied nuances.
  • Several tests per subject – in a refreshed Test Series: The Test Series includes a steady schedule of subject tests, revision tests, grand tests and elite tests. These help students assess their subject grasp regularly and replace any exam anxiety with bolstered confidence.
  • Over 17000+ well-chosen questions – in QBank 2nd Edition: DocTutorials is a storehouse of past question papers and New Pattern additions as well. It has Image Based Questions (IBQs) and 17000+ Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs).
  • System Based Integrated Test Series (SBITs) – for in-depth learning: These tests aim to teach students about the human body through its various systems that operate in sync. This method of instruction leads to more a granular understanding.
  • Rigorous Test & Discussion (T&D) sessions – to sharpen focus and skills: These regular tests and discussions with faculty expose students to potential exam questions (supported by images and videos). Such sessions help with assiduous preparation.
  • Interactive Live Sessions – to leverage a wealth of knowledge: These are invaluable opportunities for students to interact with faculty members, clear doubts and queries, go over past exam questions and learn how to prepare for the Quick Revision Programmes (QRPs).
  • Leaderboard tests – for a competitive edge and a reality check: The Leaderboard is a ranking table that shows up-to-date results of quizzes and tests so that students can know how they are faring vis-a-vis their peers – and what areas of study they need to strengthen.

Those downloading, signing up and subscribing to the new DocTutorials coaching app V 2.023 for NEET PG students will be able to lift their medical learning strategies to the next level. The future is already here.

Successfully clearing the FMGE is one of the toughest challenges for foreign medical graduates like you, who are planning to practice in India.
