► In this comprehensive and engaging webinar, Dr. Satria Syaban, a seasoned medical doctor and educator, shares expert study techniques to help medical and nursing students start their semester on the right foot. Whether you’re navigating the early years of medical school or preparing for important exams, this session is packed with practical advice to boost your academic performance.

Dr. Syaban begins by emphasizing the importance of time management in healthcare education. He defines it as the intentional organization of tasks to ensure that assignments are completed within the given time while allowing flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances. He explains how effective time management is critical for balancing the heavy workload typical in medical and nursing schools, where remote and self-directed learning are increasingly common. He introduces the Eisenhower Decision Matrix, a tool for prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance, helping students manage stress and avoid burnout.

Next, Dr. Syaban delves into stress management, discussing its psychological and biological impacts. He introduces the Yerkes-Dodson Law, which posits that moderate stress can enhance performance, but too much or too little stress can hinder it. He highlights how proper time management reduces stress, improving academic performance and well-being.

Dr. Syaban presents several evidence-based learning techniques proven to improve retention and understanding:

Spaced Practice: This involves spreading study sessions over time, rather than cramming.
Retrieval Practice: Actively recalling information, which strengthens memory retention.
Interleaving: Mixing different but related subjects during study sessions.
Elaboration: Asking "how" and "why" questions to deepen understanding.
Dr. Syaban also discusses the importance of setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to guide study sessions. He explains how setting clear, realistic goals can help students stay focused and motivated, ensuring steady progress throughout the semester.

In addition, Dr. Syaban provides tips on reducing distractions and creating an optimal study environment. He emphasizes the need for a dedicated study space, free from distractions, and suggests using tools like the Pomodoro Technique to maintain focus.

Dr. Syaban’s presentation not only shares these techniques but also encourages students to reflect on their current study habits. He offers a study worksheet designed to help them apply the techniques discussed to their academic journey. This worksheet guides students through setting learning goals, assessing study methods, and making improvements.

By the end of this webinar, students will have a clear understanding of how to optimize study routines, manage time and stress effectively, and achieve academic success. This session is a must-watch for any healthcare student looking to start their semester strong while maintaining a healthy balance between studies and personal life.
