it doesn’t just regurgitate First Aid I think it incorporates UWorld, which is phenomenal, and perhaps other high yield sources too? So it has a lot of information that I wouldn’t have gotten from elsewhere before my first round of UWorld.difficile,’ I unwittingly see the Sketchy picture in front of my eyes and am often able to recall even tiny details the visual mnemonics are INCREDIBLY powerful and LONGTERM memory hooks I found myself answering micro questions right the year after we took micro and I could seriously attribute it all to Sketchy.Reasons why Sketchy Micro was really worth my while: Let’s go into more detail about what made Sketchy really indispensable for me. Here’s a picture of one of the Sketchy images with my annotations (made on the iPad). If you’re a visual learner, then you would probably benefit a lot from this. Many microbes are catalase (+), meaning they have a certain virulence factor, so for the entirety of the course, the Sketchy symbol forĬatalase (+) is the Catalase Cat, which appears in every appropriate sketch In the first Sketchy, we are introduced to some of the “language” of the course a quick example to explain what I mean: Usually the sketches or scenes are associated with something that sounds like the name of the microbe, and the creators of the course use colors, stories and recurring symbols to help us remember the small details. Microbiology is made up of a ton of small and often random details that are really difficult to remember, so Sketchy takes all these seemingly unrelated tidbits and puts it into a neat little story. It sounds really silly, and I’m sure people who saw me watching cartoons while studying in the library thought it was, but I assure you: it’s phenomenal. Sketchy Micro is exactly what it sounds like: sketches that depict microbes. Sketchy Micro is part of Sketchy Medical, which is a video course that encompasses three major subjects in medicine: microbiology (Sketchy Micro), pharmacology (Sketchy Pharm) and pathology (Sketchy Path). I will be talking primarily about Sketchy Micro because that’s the one I have the most experience with and it is (in my humble opinion) the best one by far! For my opinion on Sketchy Pharm and Path, scroll all the way to the end!
