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.

Board-Relevant God-given Relief 😅 Watching cartoons is 25x easier to remember than a lecture. The visual aids and silly humor along the way make the sheer masses of information tolerable too. All material was highly board-relevant as well. Lastly, it also sorts and organizes the information in a way that helped me see where things fit big picture. Sometimes I got lost in the weeds in my textbooks/classes, so zooming out and seeing the relevance of these details in the whole picture was helpful, in and of itself. But Sketchy doesn’t skip details - just orients you. 12/10 recommend.

Love Sketchy Medical! Sketchy Medical has been one of my major go to references for medical school. I used Sketchy Pharm, Micro, and Pathology for Step 1 and I can say with confidence that there were many questions on my school exams and boards that I got correct solely because of Sketchy's memory hooks and visuals. This style of learning is truly a gamechanger for many students. I highly recommend Sketchy to any medical student. Even now, in my clinical rotation years, the Sketchy videos still run through my head whenever a preceptor asks me about C.Dif in a patient, side effects of medications, and so forth. Finally, you can tell that the Sketchy team puts a lot of time and effort into their illustrations and memory hooks. The sketches are very high quality and appealing to the eye. That is definitely something I appreciate artistically. Thank you Sketchy!

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.
