GBIf 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.

AUBest medical educational platform out there I use Sketchy as my primary education source for my medical studies and have done for three years. The content is incredibly engaging, up to date with the latest research, easy to understand, and better yet- easy to remember. I have a strong visual memory and quick wit, so Sketchy is the best learning material for this. The quiz section is great as well. I honestly cannot find any fault with Sketchy- I wish they had a life time subscription! I cannot recommend Sketchy enough. If you have a good sense of humour and enjoy having a laugh whilst learning, then you have to try Sketchy. They even have a free trial- you have nothing to lose! Do it! You're welcome!

DEMost helpful tool for long term learning I have used Sketchy now for roughly half a year and the amount of subjects I have been able to grasp in a comparably short time are outstanding. What I found to be the key selling point for me is the long term effect it has provided me; I am able to easily remember courses and specific details from half a year ago, which I would otherwise not have been able to recall.

GBLove 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!

GBSketchy 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.
