Learning pharmacology and drug therapy is hard.

Retaining it long-term can be even more difficult, especially as a student or resident.

This is the #1 most difficult course when you talk to many students, such as nursing students.

But even for seasoned practitioners, it can be difficult as medications are FDA-approved on a monthly basis. It is really hard to keep up.

Our team at Teach Me Pharm is very aware of these obstacles and have designed our short videos to improve learning and retention through 4 video types.

1. Individual Drugs- In order to build a house with a firm foundation, you have to start with the basics. We are currently in the process of recording 200 separate videos on what we consider the Top 200 medications currently in clinical practice. By knowing the core characteristics of each drug, you can then begin to compare and assimilate this knowledge for tests and clinical practice.
2. Medication Classes- Medications are like families; lots of similarities but nonetheless notable differences. We have a number of videos, including nearly 15 on antibiotic classes alone, that discuss families of drugs within the same class with the intent to understand the important similarities and differences of each drug. Individual, unique patients are prescribed individual drugs, not drug classes.
3. Disease States- Where do medications fit within the management of a disease state? This information is often provided via guidelines from various societies to inform prescribers of an often tiered system that recommends certain drugs for certain disease states. While drug references such as Up To Date are often used, keep in mind that a significant component of these recommendations are often expert opinion only and examination of evidence is critical to make an informed decision. Our videos provide a summation of these guidelines with practical implications for prescribing.
4. Compelling Case Studies- Ultimately we as humans remember stories. Our content creators have decades of clinical experience and therefore use storytelling through experienced patient cases in order to make certain principles "stick". We sprinkle these throughout our videos, but also have stand alone videos such as "When Pulmonary Embolism Becomes Personal..." which details a gripping case that involved my dear friend who was hospitalized for her PE.

All of these videos will work synergistically to ultimately provide not just learning, but long-term retention.

Are you ready to retain?

We are ready to teach you pharm that will last.
