A unique approach to improving student success in Human Anatomy and Physiology can be centered around teaching the students about metacognitive learning strategies. This perspective discusses the implementation of a metacognitive learning strategies session and highlights some of the outcomes that resulted from the session through exam wrapper responses. A one-hour session discussing metacognitive learning strategies was presented for the students through a pre-recorded video with embedded participation questions. Topics included methods for changing student studying habits to be more efficient and to retain a deeper level of understanding of the material. The session was also accompanied by exam wrappers to help the students to apply the concepts from the session.
