Benefits for medical students:
Enhanced consolidation- Crystallize & structure your medical knowledge into your declarative memory through repeated testing so can remember what you studied
Cost Effective- Less than a penny a question, one-time cost, no subscriptions, free trial
Supplementary Study Tool- Complement any study regimen & improve your recall of high-yield board facts
Quick Feedback- Green is right, Red is right, and move on! No long vignettes or explanations to slow you down (do vignettes & look up medical text 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- Improve memory retention as high-yield board facts are purposely placed in distinct intervals throughout the app & reviewed again 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- Students studying to become dentists, optometrists, pharmacists, podiatrists, academic scientists, physician assistants, physical therapists, and nurses (RN, LVN, NP) can benefit as well

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).
Scrub Wars utilizes the findings of recent groundbreaking research (on enhancing learning in medical education including a landmark article in the Yale Journal of Biology & Medicine) that strongly suggests using gamification to teach complex medical subjects as well as utilizing frequent retesting & spaced repetition to enhance memory retention (see below references).
