## What is Med Mnemonics?

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 they'll appear seamlessly alongside those which come with the program.  Submit them instantaneously to the Medical Mnemonics server for review by an MD (that's 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 (that's you!) and added as we all continue learning together.

Every mnemonic is physician-reviewed, but we're 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!

### 5/5 — Good Content, Simple Terminology.

*2025-03-30*

Very helpful content, can go through it and understand the content in simple terms, no conjecture, content is on point.

### 5/5 — Not pretty but sooooo useful

*2024-06-04, version 20*

This app looks like it was made for iOS 7- because it was!

The content is so great. I do wish I could export their content also.

The mnemonics are worth the $3 fee.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-12-03*

Wonderful app, easy to remember when in clinical and on exams.

### 5/5 — Great app, functions well

*2016-11-23*

Contains a wealth of mnemonics. I've been using this alongside my board prep qbanks to look up useful mnemonics. It would be nice if the database was updated periodically with new content.

### 5/5 — Handy for medical/nursing students

*2015-06-21*

A handy app to help medical, nursing and other health students when studying for exams. It is also helpful once qualified to remember those pesky pieces of information needed for your work. It is most helpful for people who use mnemonics for learning in other areas of study but is also handy to try if you don't.

### 4/5 — Nice App, but please upgrade

*2015-01-19, version 17*

This is a great App for medical memorizing. But do you mind upgrade it the resolution for iPhone 6 and 6 plus? Thank you very much!

### 4/5 — Useful

*2014-11-22*

I find it helpful but could
Do with more. And having references and brief epidemiology would make it 5*s

### 5/5 — Thank

*2014-01-19, version 17*

You

### 5/5 — Great for study sessions

*2013-09-16, version 17*

I often jot down the mnemonic on my scratch paper at test time. And I teach my study groups these helpful hints. I totally love this app!

### 5/5 — Great for med students

*2013-08-19*

Fantastic app. Lets you add your own memory aids. I am looking forward to updates mnemonics
