•Play a fun video game in order to prepare for your neurology rotation. Try 50 questions for free! This is the most efficient way to review most commonly pimped questions by neurologists, study for your neurology shelf exam, and even help review content for the USMLE (Step 2 CK and Step 3) as well as COMLEX (Level 2 CE and Level 3) medical board licensing exams.

•Purchase all 500 high-yield neurology pimping questions for $7.99 on the below-listed topics (based on interviews & feedback from hundreds of medical students, interns, residents, and attending physicians).

Scrub Wars utilizes the findings of recent groundbreaking research (on enhancing learning in medical education including a landmark article in the Yale Journal of Biology & Medicine) that strongly suggests using gamification to teach complex medical subjects as well as utilizing frequent retesting & spaced repetition to enhance memory retention (see below references).

During the development phase, 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).

•These are the high-yield neurological topics covered in this game:

1.Neurology Mixed Preview (100% Free)

2. Neuroanatomy

•Benefits of this app to medical students, interns, and residents:

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/tested by physicians, professors, and medical students

Diverse application- In addition to medical students & residents, other professional graduate students can benefit from the content review including physician assistants, podiatrists, physical therapists, anesthesiology residents, and nurses (LVN and RN).
