Key result
Mnemonic devices offer various applications to improve memory and recall in teaching cardiothoracic surgery science.
Why the study?
Mnemonic devices are important educational methods to improve memory and recall, but their specific applications in cardiothoracic surgery education have not been reviewed.
Mnemonic devices are useful educational tools for teaching and memorizing information in cardiothoracic surgery.
Mnemonic devices may aid cardiothoracic surgery teaching; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Memorizing information may impose difficulties in learning process with subsequent adverse effect on academic progress. Mnemonic devices are one of the most important methods used in education. They are special strategies that can be used to improve memory and the recall process for the information already stored in long-term memory for easier memorization especially for lists, numerical sequences, foreign language acquisition, and for individuals with memory deficits. In the current review, we discuss mnemonic methods frequently used for teaching the cardiothoracic surgery science and some examples for its applications.
