You'll be so entertained it'll feel like you're procrastinating, but you'll actually be gaining and retaining medical knowledge!

Perhaps I was expecting too much. I'm currently in medical school and thought Medcomic would be more on the level of sketchy micro/pharm. However, the information depicted in these cartoons fell far short of what I was expecting. I'm sure it can be helpful to some. Perhaps a description regarding the targeted audience of the book would be helpful.
Used this to help me study for the PANCE as a supplemental material. The funny comics helped certain topics stick better in my head and help me remember them. Great artwork and funny comics!
This book is SO helpful and creative. Currently, I work in dermatology, but it is important for me to stay up to date in all fields of medicine in order to pass my re-certification boards. The illustrations in MedComic allow me to easily recall the detailed information on diseases that I would have otherwise forgotten. The book does a great job of including valuable depictions of conditions seen general medicine and diverse specialties. It makes difficult things to memorize, like the brachial plexus, much simpler to master. I am excited for more from this talented author/illustrator!
AMAZING study guide! These cartoons were extremely helpful for me when studying for my PA exams and boards. Instead of reading over text at least 5 times in hopes of remembering disease presentations and first/second line treatments etc, I could view a cartoon just twice and have the image planted in my memory for retrieval during an exam! Definitely one of the most effective ways to study medicine.
So fun! I really like how fresh the illustrations make all the information fun to learn. I found myself immediately trying to read it all as soon as possible to see all the inventive ways the information is tied to the drawings. It works great to break up the monotony of medical text books that you're constantly try to cram into your head. Hope to see more to come in the future.
I in PA school and saw the comics online and loved it! I really like the comics because I am a visual learner. The only negative I have about this book is there aren't enough comics for the price. I thought I was buying a more comprehensive book that would help with studying for clinical and PANCE. I was very excited about getting this book but when I opened it and saw that were few comics, I was disappointed. Initially, I was torn between this book and Ultimate Mnemonic Medical Comic Book and chose this one. I LOVE my Pance Prep Pearls book and was hoping this would be similar but in comic form, but it is not. But it is good as a very short review and most of the comics are online for free. Just wish it had more comics for the price.
I'm a visual learner and this book has been an amazing resource to have throughout PA school! Quite a few of my classmates as well as some friends in med school have asked about the book and have also learned a great deal from Jorge's illustrations. Difficult topics taught in school, such as heart blocks, were broken down and illustrated in a way that I'm able to recall on all my exams. I'm looking forward to seeing more illustrations! Follow him on Instagram @Medcomic for some more awesome illustrations!!
