I feel like if I showed @picmonic to someone who wasn’t a medical student and told them, “Yeah, this is how we memorize things. Stripping Mona Lisas, Game of Thrones and star wars references, pencil villains, cats in rock bands...” I’d have to follow it with “But we’re totally sane and qualified to manage your healthcare, I promise.”

SketchyMicro (SketchyMedical) vs. Picmonic

These are two online video subscriptions that help you remember microorganisms, disease processes, and pharmacology.  They are excellent resources if you are a visual learner like I am.  I use both of these for different purposes because they are slightly different.

SketchyMicro - Sketchy excels at creating a story for you to recall. I used Sketchy to learn Microbiology last year and I still remember a great deal from just one view of the video and my notes.  Everything in an image has a cohesive meaning from the color of the sky to a space helmet.  I use Sketchy exclusively for Micro. 

TIP: screenshot the scenes and print them out before you watch the video so you can take notes right on the image.

Picmonic - These videos are interactive and give you more details than Sketchy.  However, the stories aren’t as cohesive and are most of the time confusing. I usually don’t remember everything about a scene.  I use Picmonic for drugs. Picmonic helps me classify drugs and remember side effects best.  Because it is interactive, I learn drugs in a step-wise process.  Each time I quickly review a scene, I learn more about the drug.  Picmonic videos are shorter than Sketchy videos and they are easier to return to because of the interactive “Review” section.

NOTE: These images are from Google, not from my subscriptions.

Something about this Picmonic looks familiar...

Using Picmonic is like listening to a microbio PhD on an acid trip.
