*What makes this world renowned, best-selling Microbiology book so unique?

Our Approach has been to:

Write in a conversational style for easy, rapid assimilation
Include numerous, humorous illustrations only when absolutely necessary, serving as "visual memory tools" and summary charts at the end of each chapter. These can be used for "cram sessions" after the concepts have been studied in the text
Concentrate more on clinical and infectious disease issues that are both interesting and vital to the actual practice of medicine
Create a conceptual, organized approach to the organisms studied so the student relies less on memory and more on logical pathophysiology.

This last point is CRUCIAL!!! If there were no tests that required memorization in medical school, SKETCHY, memory-based medical study tools would be obsolete as they are ENTIRELY based on memorization, NOT understanding. This leads to a real life problem: When you need to conceptually and logically understand a patient's illness and speak to this patient or their family, a cute little SKETCHY memory trick will not get you very far.

Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple trains you early on in your medical career how to THINK, not how to memorize like SKETCHY does!
