PHYSIOLOGY TEST PREP GAME APP for Android
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).
Benefits of this app to college & medical students:
Enhanced consolidation- Crystallize & structure your medical knowledge into your declarative memory through repeated testing so can remember what you study
Cost Effective- Less than a penny a question, one-time cost, no subscriptions, free trial
Supplementary Study Tool- Reinforce high yield physiology facts quickly to complement any study regimen
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).
Decrease test anxiety- You will worry less during exams & pimping if you know that you know your material cold
Content created by trusted sources- Questions written/edited/tested by physicians, professors, and medical students
Engaging “edutainment”- The action-packed gameplay, spectacular graphics, & customized authentic space-themed game soundtrack will make studying fun
Responsive Study Tool- Email the CEO of Precision Enterprises, LLC straight from the app with any problems, bugs, or suggestion requests for future apps
Diverse application- In addition to undergraduate and medical students, other professional graduate students can benefit from the content review including those enrolled in these programs: physician assistants, podiatry physical therapy, dentistry, optometry, chiropractic care, pharmacy, pharmacy technicians, biology graduate students, and nurses (LVN.RN,NP).
