If I could have one external resource, it would be Sketchy There are so many external resources that you can use to help you through medical school. If I could go back in time to first year, I would have wanted to know about Sketchy. It has helped me tremendously and the things that I learned months ago are still with me today. Sketchy makes learning fun and hard to forget. I definitely recommend it for any medical student.

Absolutely unprofessional and appalling… Absolutely unprofessional and appalling delivery or Non delivery of what was sold. Sktchy sold an art course. The videos did not load on their platform. Their platform is hosted on Mighty Networks. If this had been disclosed prior to purchase I would not have purchased knowing the problems with this unprofessional platform. Not only do the videos not play in their platform, so many people must of had the same problem that they provide a link directing you to YouTube if there are playback problems. Amongst others trying to watch via YouTube only the top half of screen is visible. A course on portraits and you see nothing below the nose. I never have a problem with YouTube or the artists video I was watching except via sktchy. First video in and even their class ocerview/welcome doesn't play. Confirmed not a connection problem. First hour in new course that doesn't work. Asked for a refund instead of providing refund was treated as if lying. Do not provide Sktchy your money. I was gobsmacked to see all the poor reviews especiallyon reddit. I wish I had seen them sooner. Unprofessional platform, poor customer service.

Sketchy is underrated, fun, and engaging Sketchy is the sole reason I passed Step 1. My brain just can’t absorb things it doesn’t find engaging. While other sources might have helpful tables and take less time to run over things, they all just seem like the same lecture over and over to me. Sketchy makes me laugh and makes learning fun—I don’t think you’re ever so old that learning being fun isn’t important.

6 years since step 1, and I still remember Sketchy I am a PGY2 and used Sketchy during medical school, and there is literally nothing I learned during medical school that remains in my memory better than that which i learned through sketchy. Tremendous study tool, arguably no other better way to encode information into the brain (for me, at least). Major props to the sketchy team.

Would love to see a master list of topics I recommend Sketchy to everyone! Very helpful resource. I would love to see them publish some sort of master list of topics that one could reference to know which sketch to watch. Topics are typically easy to find, but some topics are hard to locate.
