Personal Development Programme for Junior Doctors
Speed Reading
- Read faster, Comprehend better, Recall more
-
Today we are challenged with increasing volume of
reading materials.
This includes journals, records, papers and emails.
If reading speed is improved, part of every hour spent
in reading can be utilized in other areas such as planning,
decision making and spending more time with our families.
17 of our junior doctors attended the course with
facilitator Dr Daniel Theyagu on 27
November, 4 December and 11 December 2004. Dr Daniel
Theyagu’s ability to build rapport and his use
of experiential methods of facilitating his classes
has earned him positive feedback.
“Lecturer has excellent attitude & is friendly.”
“Promotes skills that will enhance job training.”
“Interesting subject. Good content.”
The overall feedback rating was 4.57
(5 being excellent and 1 being poor).
The syllabus includes:
- Learning to guess the meaningful of what is being
read – before reading it.
- Learning to see what the eye do not – Your amazing
eyes
- Learning to note-take and note make what is being
read
- Using the ‘finger’ technique of speed
reading
- Using the ‘line & card’ techniques
of speed reading
- Using the Peripheral Vision to increase your reading
speed
