Answer 1

The Stuttering Foundation of America's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" is online at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/TherapyWWW/selftherapy.html
This is the book that helped several of my uncles and cousins who couldn't go to a speech therapist who specialized in treating stuttering. They said that they had to work through the book and practice rather than just read the book.
You can also find online videos showing therapists working with people who stutter at www.stutteringhelp.org

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you have reached the ENT phase of your medical school, or how up to date your prof is on the science, but in the last year or two it has been shown that stammering is a result of a hearing feedback loop disorder(sorry, but I don't know the technical term) and is best treated by an audiologist. You should have both audiologists and speech therapists available to you free as a medical student at your school. Talk to one of them as soon as possible.

I am thinking that if you organize your thoughts before the words come out of your mouth, it might help.
Maybe if you keep your sentences short and gradually make them more complex may help.
All through my life I was never able to complete sentences because people would constantly interrupt me. This has made me have to say what I need to say in the quickest amount of time. Maybe planning your words will help. Good Luck

Answer 4

My Aunt is a speech therapist, she has shared some techniques with me-as I tried to help my friends son conquer a lisp. Her suggestions really helped him.
Watch how you say your words in a mirror. Repeat each word severel times, slowly. Pronouncing each letter and sylable very carefully.
Count to 5(in your head) every time you are about to speak.
This gives your brain time to catch up with your mouth.(is how she kinda explained it.) I used these to help him speak better, and her suggestions worked for him.

I myself am not the expert. but it did seem to work.
