mnemonic, noun: a short rhyme, phrase, or other mental technique for making information easier to memorize [from Greek mnēmonikos, "relating to memory"]. Med Mnemonics is a unique learning tool with over 1900 of them.

Mnemonics got me through medical school and the USLME steps. Wherever you are within the allied health professions - medical school, nursing school, NP school, PA school, residency, and beyond - you can improve your knowledge base in the short and long term with these key associative memory aids.

Medical Mnemonics puts 1796 clever acronyms, rhymes, and memory tricks on your iPhone or iPod Touch, covering topics ranging from Anatomy and Biochemistry to Pharmacology and Surgery.

The database is fully searchable and can be quickly filtered by discipline and by system. Create a Favorites list, and search and filter it similarly.

The best mnemonics can be those you make yourself. Add your own mnemonics to the database, where theyll appear seamlessly alongside those which come with the program. Submit them instantaneously to the Medical Mnemonics server for review by an MD (thats me!) and inclusion in the next version.

You can email any mnemonic to a colleague from within Medical Mnemonics. He or she can view it within the email or add it to their own copy of Medical Mnemonics with a single click.

Updates will be free for life and will include new mnemonics submitted by users (thats you!) and added as we all continue learning together.

Every mnemonic is physician-reviewed, but were only human. If you find a mistake, email us; we will pay a $5 bounty per substantive mistake found to the first reporter of that mistake!

Pros and cons of Med Mnemonics app for iPhone and iPad

Med Mnemonics app good for

I just got this app and so far it is quite impressive. Lots of pneumonics... Ones I have heard and a couple of new ones. I am an R1 and think its great!
Amazing. Only limiting factor is how many you can actually remember at the end of the day!
This is quite invaluable for med students and docs appearing for exams.One can add their own mneumonics too!
I like how easy it is to add your own, or edit the ones in here!
This app is such great help, helps me memorize and remember content easily. I also like the feature that allows users to add their own mneumonics.
Have to sort through quite a few wierd ones to get to the high yielders, but I guess some might find all of them useful. I do like the ability to make a favorites list and add my own. Not perfect, but well worth the price.

Some bad moments
