Sketchy Micro Login

[Hilda Bagnoli]

Ipersonally didn't find these types of study techniques to be helpful, but I had a lot of classmates who liked learning this way. Just not my thing. However, I think PicMonic is good because the clips are short and to the point - they're usually just a few minutes long so its easy to maintain attention and you can watch a clip anywhere quickly. Sketchy med clips were longer and so a more elaborate storyline to follow. These are decent supplements to help learning during didactic year. During clinical year, I use UpToDate through my school library to look things up more than anything and of course PANCE review books.

In my experience, micro wasn't nearly as detail oriented in PA school as it was in Med school. I did not use those sources in PA school, did great in micro, but didn't really remember much at all. In med school, I used pathoma and sketchy, and I remember literally everything from sketchy and will remember those details for years. Many friends used picmonic too and loved it. However, those sources might be too detailed for PA school, so I wouldn't want you wasting time memorizing things you won't be tested on. In PA school, time is limited as it is. Also, I'd recommend finding the PDF versions of sketchy if you can, it's basically the picture, and a bunch of bullets points describing what each detail represents. That way, you don't have to waste time watching the video. Since I've done it both ways, (with and without those sources), I would highly recommend them for long term retention.

I have two of the three--picmonic and pathoma.

In retrospect, picmonic was ok but after using for the first round of exams or 2 I moved to pathoma and never looked back. I would buy it again in a heartbeat (and probably will as review for the PANCE). Its a great time saver and the explanations are on point.

I loved sketchy pharmacology. Some of their videos are up on youtube or you can watch a few samples on their website and see if it is for you. I also used it occasionally for micro. A bunch of us shared a login.

I haven't tried Pathoma yet but SketchyPharm has been a lifesaver for me. I can watch a video once and remember details on the medication months later just by recalling the storyline. I watched a few Picmonic videos and I feel that Sketchy is more memorable in general.

In regards to sketchy pharm, how can I start the free trial on there? I would just like to try it out before paying for it... I do see "start your free trial" on their website but every time I click it, it brings me to the checkout screen with no other choice but to pay for the whole subscription. I emailed their company but just curious if any of you have any experience with that.

You must download these decks to your computer, NOT to your phone. You must also have Anki installed on your computer. *The file you will download is a zip file (a compressed file), thus, you will have to open these zip files to see the Anki decks.* Once you download them your computer that has Anki installed, open them. They will open directly into your Anki app. Now that they are on your computer, you can sync your Anki account with your phone so that you can access them on the go.

Hi! I used your micro deck and i found it incredibly useful! Now that i am trying to download the pharm deck, it says the decks arent available anymore :/ Are you going to re-upload them? Thanks again!

Thank you so much for putting your work into these decks! It was recommended to me by another M2 and it has been fire in terms of retention. Using your decks with the printed Sketchy Medical Notes PDF for focused visual associations.

For example, if I watched the benzodiazepine sketchy video and only wanted to do the anki cards associated with that video, would there be a way for me to easily find and just review those cards? Thanks for the quick reply!

Ah, I get your question now! Haha. If you have downloaded the deck, you will see that the cards are separated by subject. The folders are separated into cardio/renal, antimicrobials, antineoplastics, autonomic drugs, GI/endocrine, neuro/psych, etc. So you can study those folders selectively, but not by specific video. That being said, you can easily edit the deck to your pleasing. You if you wanted to add tags, you could do that for yourself ?

Yes! You can download them via the link in this post ? it will take you to a google drive. Are you having issues? If so, first try downloading to your computer with the Anki application downloaded already. Then, you can sync your Anki account to your phone.
