Learning-Support Services at DMS

Learning support is available to all DMS students through the Office for Learning and Disability Services. Much of Ms. Trietley's time is spent talking with students on a one-to-one basis. She is available to help any DMS student assess his or her progress and effectiveness, explore learning styles, learn better strategies for successfully navigating the rigors of medical school, and put together an individual plan that works.

Examples of student issues that are often addressed:

• Effective time management
• Higher level study skills
• Test-taking skills
• Reading efficiency
• Memory strategies
• Organization
• Presentations skills
• Stress management

Ms. Trietley also offers a series of Academic Success Seminars for first-year students, and directs the summer prematriculation program, ARC. She is a champion of medical students and is happy to make time for those in academic need, whether they're struggling in a course, aiming for a larger number of Honors grades, trying to become better organized on clinical services, or preparing for licensure exams. In addition to providing direct services for students, Ms. Trietley acts as a liaison to faculty to help resolve student problems and provide helpful information.
