This book was created with the student in mind, and its purpose is to make studying more efficient and effective. Pharmacology is a huge branch of medicine, with hundreds of difficult drug names and concepts. Students are given the tough task of memorizing large amounts of information in a short amount of time, and often look for supplemental study aids for help. An important part of these aids are mnemonics, which are devices that aid memorization. Mnemonics are used by students because they work. Typically, text-based mnemonics have been used as they are the easy to create and implement. However, with multiple word-mnemonics with the same letters, it becomes more and more difficult to remember what each letter means. We’ve taken mnemonics to the next level by adding a visual component. Empirical research suggests that the majority of the population have a visual learning style, and studies have shown that absorption and retention of material are significantly improved in students who revise in a format that complements their learning style. So we’ve combined the most important learning style with the power of mnemonics, to bring you a new tool in learning: “visual mnemonics”. Our book contains:
