Our Mission

To provide you with an affordable and entertaining way to learn and review dermatology while committing that knowledge to long term memory. At Dermnemonics, we feel that the best way to learn is to have fun and engage in the material. We want to provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to succeed at all levels of training through a wide array of subject matter from general dermatology to genodermatoses and quizzes to reinforce it.

Our Values

While we strive to make our scenes memorable and are proud of our product, we would not be able to deliver our content if it weren’t for you. That’s why at Dermnemonics, we encourage feedback and suggestions regarding new topics, memory hooks, and content accuracy. We want our product to work for you! We will take every measure to ensure our content is a valuable contribution to the time and dedication you’ve given to learning dermatology.

Our Story

Dermnemonics is a company created and run by dermatologists. The idea got its start after we emersed ourselves in the field of dermatology during residency where we quickly realized that there is an overwhelming amount of information to learn, and that amount keeps growing! With an interest in memory and ways to optimize retention, we dug deep and chose to pursue a more creative way to teach in order to make studying fun again.

W use a technique called the method of memory loci (or memory palaces as I like to call them), and it dates back as far as the ancient Greeks! In head to head comparisons, the participants utilizing the method of memory loci have been shown statistically significant improvements in their long and short term recall as well as recall accuracy but only if they had been taught how to effectively build these “memory-loci”. That’s where we come in, we’ll do the building, and you can do the learning.

We are excited to share our artwork and creative stories to provide anyone interested in dermatology a strong foundation of knowledge.
