TOOLS FOR LEARNING AND STUDYING
Resources below are free, unless noted.


Picmonic – subscription plans start at around $13 per month
This clever service pairs memorable visual mnemonics with important science concepts to help students remember critical terminology and better understand difficult concepts. Digital "flashcards" are explained via audio and/or text, and students can organize what they've learned so that it's easy to tell what to review later and what has already been mastered. Picmonic specializes in medical content for nursing and medical students, and can be accessed with a computer or a mobile device. Check out their resources for free and access all content for a monthly subscription or a one-time fee. 

Osmosis – subscription plans start at $12 per month
Built by medical students, this service is available as an app or for use on web platforms. Users will have access to a bank containing more than 25,000 questions, including USMLE-relevant content, and relevant quizzes are pushed to students’ mobile devices. Osmosis lets students test what they know, but it is also a great tool for organization. Users can import class calendars and upload important documents and notes into a the searchable Timeline, and its learning management system helps learners organize their study time. A one-month trial is available for free.  For those who don’t pass a high-stakes board exam, the service will provide Osmosis Prime for free and help troubleshoot study strategies.
 
Prognosis App
One of the best ways to learn a concept is to put new knowledge into practice. Prognosis, available as a free app or for desktop use, allows students to put their comprehension to the test with real-life scenarios in which patients need diagnoses. (Cases are added frequently by medical professionals and reviewed by an editorial board of over 140 specialists.) Users consider a description of symptoms, the results of a physical exam, test results, and patient history before settling on a diagnosis. Prognosis will tell you whether you’re right, but it keeps the real answer and its explanation hidden if you’re not so you can try again if you’re off base the first time. Test your knowledge with general cases or narrow it down to emergency medicine, neurology, rheumatology, cardiology, and more. 

​Modality – apps start at $29.99
With question banks and flashcards for medical, nursing, and dental students, Modality plays host to a wealth of health science learning resources. Modality’s real strength is its collection of images to help students learn about and recognize anatomical structures and a wide range of diseases. 

SparkCharts – $4.99 each 
Everything you ever needed to know about a topic condensed onto one chart! SparkCharts are great for introducing one's self to a topic, then reviewing afterward. Charts for anatomy and all major systems in the body are available from bookstores, or for downloading and printing at home.

OTHER TOOLS

LiveScribe Pen – starts at $129.95
Listening critically while simultaneously taking notes can be difficult in lecture halls and exam rooms alike. LiveScribe, a clever device that looks like an ordinary pen, records audio while the user writes, time-syncing the written words with the recorded ones. Later, the writer can simply tap words on the page to hear the pen play back exactly what was said while that portion of notes was being written.
