Memory Techniques
Most speakers rely on repetition to memorise their speech. The truth is, simple repetition does NOT work. It is painful, time consuming, and inefficient. What if there was a way to remember your speech 3X times faster, and more accurately?
Claire Jeong is a memory champion and has been teaching memory techniques for over a decade. She modernized the methods our ancestors used to remember their speech before the invention of books or electronics. This is called the WakeUpMemory™ system.
In this course, you will learn how to you can remember 100% of your speech! You will (maybe for the first time in life) understand the neuroscience of memory. And most importantly, you will get practical tools to become a master at presentation. You will see immediate results, as our previous trainees have
Oral Pathology Refresher
Have you ever seen a lesion in a patient's mouth but were unable to provide a differential diagnosis? You probably studied oral lesions during dental hygiene school, but as with many other subjects, your memory may have faded. Refreshing your memory about the most important oral lesions will allow you to provide better care, properly refer patients to specialists, and potentially save their lives. With the use of memory tricks, this session is fun and informative.
50 Most Prescribed Drugs and Side Effects
Almost every patient presents with drugs and medical conditions. But do you always know how they affect the oral cavity? And what if you could store all this information in your brain? In this session, you will get 1) a summary of the 50 most commonly prescribed drugs, 2) what they are used for, and 3) their side effects related to dental treatments. This course can help you save time when reviewing the patient’s medical history. Then you will apply the knowledge (that you know by heart) to provide a customized treatment.
Rewire Your Brain and Double Your Memory
Do you wish you remembered names, numbers, dates, and anything else better? Do you feel like your memory is failing?
UCLA professor of psychiatry Gary Small conducted much research on the topic of
technology and brain function says, “Digital technology is rapidly and profoundly altering our brains." Technology is helpful, but it has also made us "dumb." This phenomenon is called "Information Overload."
The results are alarming: We can’t focus anymore, we lose touch with our world, we are less confident in our abilities to engage in meaningful relationships, we constantly feel as if we did not do enough. And most commonly, we lose our memory.
The good news is, our brains are "plastic." Neurons in the brain and be regenerated and strengthened. It is possible to rewire our brains to achieve anything we desire, even after a stroke. We just need knowledge, guidance and practice to awaken the brain's potential.
Periodontal Disease and Dementia
5 million people in the United States are affected by dementia and this number is rising every year. While the science behind this mental condition is still developing, many articles suggest a link between dementia and periodontal disease. But how are the two diseases related? You may have seen posts online such as “Take care of your oral health and prevent dementia.” Or “chronic periodontitis leads to brain inflammation, fewer brain cells, and more amyloid-beta (plaque found in tissues in patients with Alzheimer’s disease)”. Those simplified interpretations are dangerous. We know about the oral-systemic link and studies found associations between periodontitis and dementia. However, we have a relationship between the two diseases much more complicated. We have to use the evidence-based approach and carefully interpret the findings.
Dental Anatomy Refresher to Master Your Clinical Game
Which of the premolars have two roots? Which tooth is more likely to have a larger cingulum? When does the canine erupt in the permanent dentition? We all learned dental anatomy at school but probably let the information fade away.
As a clinician, it is important to remember all aspects of the dentition and tooth morphology. This knowledge is applied to provide the best prophylaxis, scaling and root planning, restoration, extractions, and many other care options we provide our patients. The goal is to master the dental anatomy and have the information ready at your fingertips to master your practice.
Memory Techniques in the Classroom
We are suffering from the stress of being forgetful. And we ask our students to memorize drugs, patient names, medical conditions, etc. But rarely do we teach them how. About 99% of the population uses rote memory, a technique based on repetition. As you've probably already experienced, rote memory is NOT effective.
As learners, we benefit from mnemonics and visual help. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more techniques that are proven to help understand concepts and retain the information better. The special education methodology is called WakeUp Memory™.
This technique has existed for thousands of years, and I modified the proven tool to suit the dental profession. We will start by discovering the fascinating mechanism of the brain and memory formation. Then we will apply the WakeUp Memory™ methodology in many areas of teaching – pharmacology, medical conditions, oral pathology, etc. to demonstrate its effectiveness. Lastly, we will try some exercises to test the methodology.
