A little about our mission. Pimped is a flashcard-based mobile app designed for MS3s and other clinical students during their clinical years. The goal is to take away a little of the stress and uncertainty about clerkships by providing a rotation/procedure based way to study the most common pimping questions. While some people discuss pimping as an archaic mean-spirited right of passage, it is now more often used for genuine education. That being said, it can feel horrible when an entire clinical team waits for you to pull an answer out of thin air for a question that you never saw coming!
That’s where Pimped comes in! Prior to a procedure or presenting a patient with a specific illness, students can search expertly curated questions by keyword or pull up common pimping questions to expect during a laparoscopic appendectomy. They can prepare in a more streamlined fashion for one of the most anxiety-provoking parts of clinical rotations — Clinical Pimping! All while increasing their medical knowledge and clinical skills.
