My knowledge of anatomy is a mashup of what I learned in my college Meat Science class (it’s amazing how similar animals are to humans when it comes musculature) and what I’ve picked up from reading about professional athlete’s injuries. Luckily, I’m not a doctor and don’t have any intention of being one. Otherwise I’d have to hit the books hard. Firecracker would probably be my best bet. They are a Cambridge, MA based company that has built the “most advanced learning platform for the next generation of Physicians.” If you guessed that it’s not made with dead trees, you would be right. Firecracker is also the name of their app that can help you prep for both Pre-Med and Med School.

Learn with a Bang

I’ve said it before and I’ll stand by it, today’s generation should be held to a higher academic standard than previous generations. The tools that they have at their disposal are ridiculous (though I guess the level of distraction is pretty ridiculous too these days). Here’s a video explaining how Firecracker works:

Firecracker looks like an amazing way to learn, and the company’s testimonials back that up. If you’d like to help them continue to help students learn faster and remember everything, visit Firecracker’s Jobs page. Right now they’re hiring a Customer Service & Outreach Manager and a Ruby on Rails Engineer. They’re also looking for graduate students to fill these internships: Editor (Basic Sciences or Organ Systems), Editor (Biology, Organic Chemistry, Physics, or General Chemistry), and Editor (Clerkships) (the positions appear to be unpaid with an opportunity to earn some money based on performance).
