of PA students recommend Sketchy to their classmates

" Sketchy has super funny and original material. I used it my first year of PA school and still remember years later how it helped me in the clinic and on the PANCE."

Cam
PA Student

" When I first started off in my rotations, I didn’t know what I was doing. Sketchy cases provided me a safe space to practice how I should be presenting to the preceptor."

Ellie
Touro PA Program

The value is immeasurable. Between the question bank – the endless question bank … the cases that help me prep for OSCEs, the videos … the symbols, it’s amazing.”

Kelsie
Lincoln Memorial PA Program

" It's entertaining, engaging, and excellent for memorization-heavy subjects like microbiology, pharmacology, and immunology."
