Headshot photo of Dr. ReeceDr. Margaret Thompson Reece mentors college students who are struggling to figure out how to study anatomy and physiology, who are overwhelmed by the amount of information they must absorb in a very short period of time, who value their Grade Point Average and are afraid that this course will ruin it and their opportunity to get into a high level professional training program in the healthcare field.

Follow her blog, articles and books to discover effective, efficient strategies for understanding the chemistry that drives physiology and for remembering the confusing names of anatomy.  Discover her simple, time tested study plans.

To help students get started in learning how to study of Anatomy & Physiology Dr. Thompson Reece has put together a free report outlining 7 easy and effective strategies. That report, “Chart Your Course to an A in Anatomy & Physiology”, can be obtained by clicking here.

In her free report she tells the story of her own struggle to get into the profession she desired, and how she dealt as a student with the same problems that students are experiencing today.

Dr. Thompson Reece’s teaching experience in the classroom and in the research laboratory includes college students from freshman level to PhD candidates.  She has been an instructor for courses in physiology, anatomy, human genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology. Her blog MedicalScienceNavigator.com has a following of students from all over the world. Half of her student correspondence arrives from outside the United States.
