Retain more & forget less by playing a video game to supercharge your memory during your surgery rotations. Try 50 questions for free! Rapidly review high-yield surgical topics by playing this exciting space shooter app that gamifies learning so your studying is more efficient & productive. Expedient review for surgery rotation (especially for the USMLE Step 2 CK and COMLEX Level 2 CE). Complete app has 1,000 questions. Temporarily available in 2016 for only $1.99 on Android only! Relevant for surgical topics for your board exams ( ABSITE, & PANCE), clerkship tests (surgery shelf exams), and ward pimping (surgeons ask the hardest questions in medicine). The Scrub Wars franchise was very popular at the 2014 and 2015 AMSA Annual meetings, the 2014 UC Davis Pre-Health Expo, and the 2013 DevLearn/Adobe Learning Summit (among students, professors, physicians, teaching administrators, parents, & gaming experts). Benefits of this app to medical students, interns, and residents: • Enhanced consolidation- Crystallize & structure your medical knowledge into your declarative memory through repeated testing so can remember what you study • Cost Effective- Less than a penny a question, one-time cost, no subscriptions, free trial • Supplementary Study Tool- Remember more of what you already studied with frequent re-testing to avoid frequent restudying, which can be demoralizing • Quick Feedback- Green is right, Red is right, and move on! No long vignettes or explanations to slow you down (do vignettes or seek explanations on your own time). • “Creates” study time- Play Scrub Wars anywhere especially where you normally would not study like waiting in line, between classes, while waiting for rounds to start, or even on the toilet! • Spaced learning- High-yield board facts are reinforced by your Teaching Attending after completing each level (need 70% correct to pass a level). • Content created by trusted sources- Questions written/edited by surgeons, professors, and medical students • Diverse application- In addition to medical students & surgical residents, other professional graduate students can benefit from this app including oral surgeons, physician assistants, podiatrists, physical therapists, anesthesiology residents, and nurses (especially nurse practitioners and CNRAs).
