How Sketchy works

Master medicine with visual and case-based learning tools designed to help you learn, retain, and apply the concepts you’ll be tested throughout medical school, including boards and clinical assessments.

Watch & learn

Watch Sketchy’s iconic visual lessons make even the trickiest topics (micro & pharm, anyone?) clear, concise, and engaging.

Using research-backed memory techniques, each lesson turns dense, overwhelming material into fun, narrated sketches with easy-to-remember visuals.

Learn must-know symptoms, drugs, and mechanisms faster with memorable characters that act as symbols for key concepts.

Build big-picture understanding with symbols that repeat across lessons. When a symbol shows up again, you already know what it means. It’s universe building for your brain.

Remember (forever!) & assess

Make sure what you just learned actually stuck with quick review and practice tools.

Review every symbol from a lesson in one interactive view so you get fast, high-yield recall without rewatching the whole video.

Test your recall with MCQs after each lesson and build custom tests with thousands of practice questions. Linked lessons included in answer explanations for quick review.

See how it shows up clinically. Select lessons include a linked patient case so you can apply what you learned in a realistic scenario.

Apply

Apply what you’ve learned to cases that build the clinical reasoning tested on USMLE, COMLEX, Shelf exams, OSCEs—and so you can shine on rotations.

Work through every stage of a patient encounter. Interact with virtual patients to uncover key findings and narrow the differential to the right diagnosis.

Sharpen exam-tested clinical skills: build a DDx, interpret labs & imaging, choose the next best step in workup & management, and practice with board-style vignettes.

Practice presenting and answering on-the-spot questions. Get personalized feedback, high-yield teaching points, and board-style MCQs as you go.

“I went from failing to top of the class. I realized that Sketchy works for my neurodivergent brain because I am no longer memorizing facts, I am exploring a new world and that’s so much more appealing.”

Kaitlyn 
Nova Southeastern

“Sketchy has been a lifesaver while on rotations in the hospital. I felt confident walking into the SHELF exam and plan to continue using Sketchy for the rest of my third-year rotations!”

Timothy 
St. George’s University

“It is an absolute staple when studying for didactics, boards, and even now on clinical rotations. I owe many thanks to Sketchy for helping me perform my best.”

Rachel 
Western University of Health Sciences

"I am amazed by how each patient feels different to speak to.These are great ways to prepare for OSCEs, patient encounters, and rotations especially.”

Brandon 
A.T. Still University School of Medicine
