“While the mission for founding Sketchy stemmed from real-life medical school students creating a more effective way for themselves and their classmates to make it through rigorous medical school coursework, seeing validation that the results of that work extend into real patient care is incredibly rewarding for our team,” said Sketchy’s President Andrew Sugerman and Co-Founder and CEO Saud Siddiqui in a joint statement. “We’re also excited to see the rewards of using Sketchy include extra time every week for overworked medical school students to learn proper self-care and time management tools to maintain a healthier lifestyle.”
Sketchy believes setting healthy habits while in medical school lays a foundation for key practices such as sleep hygiene to continue when practicing medicine in the real world, especially as sleep deprivation in physicians is reported to be linked to serious medical errors, according to a study published in JAMA.
By leveraging the “method of loci,” an ancient Greek technique that creates spatial relationships between key information using symbols, Sketchy helps students better retain and recall complex information as 90% say they score better on exams with Sketchy. In fact, when medical school moved to online learning during the pandemic, 89% of Sketchy users say they learned more information from Sketchy than from their online classes.
In addition, nine in 10 Sketchy users wish they could have had Sketchy for other subjects during undergrad and to help them prepare for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). The company recently entered the $1.2 billion test prep market, launching Sketchy MCAT to help aspiring doctors prepare for the exam.
Further expanding into other subjects, the company also launched Sketchy Pharmacy, which offers students the most critical content to master the NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) and earn a pharmacy degree; and Sketchy PA, to equip students studying to become Physicians Assistants with engaging content to help them get through their coursework.
