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.

#trusttheprocess sketchy is THE visual textbook for all my preclinical needs! when i know i want to solidify something that i’m struggling with from lecture or need help ~picturing a long pathway in first aid, sketchy is my go to! i’m so so glad sketchy exists & i recommend it to all my incoming med school peers! as a child who never read and watched a lot of tv, i’m so grateful that i’m in school during the Age of Sketchy! it works it work it WORKS!!! #trusttheprocess

Inconvenient The service after buying is very inconvenient . There is a problem with the website for two days. I cannot log in to my account for two days. I have sent two e-mails for the customer support and got no reply.

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.

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.
