In other words, they teach you by entertaining you. Their service uses comprehensive videos in microbiology, pharmacology, and pathology to guide viewers through illustrations using creative stories to enhance retention by associating medical topics with memorable visual elements. You’ve probably heard of or used Sketchy Medical. Once Brian’s twin brother, Aaron Lemieux, joined the team, their company, Sketchy Medical, took off to rave reviews and they haven’t looked back since. When Andrew Berg, Saud Siddiqui, and Brian Lemieux began showing off their doodles in their attempt to learn microbiology at UC Irvine School of Medicine, they never imagined those drawings turning into the beginning of an innovative and effective medical education company. Now, we learn that medical education has its own representatives. The classic image our society has of entrepreneurs are college kids tinkering away in their dorm rooms.
