    ABOUT SKETCHY

    Sketchy is a revolutionary visual learning platform. We turn complex subjects into engaging visual stories that you’ll remember forever. Through a combination of art, science, and technology, our lessons help students effortlessly learn and recall information and score higher on exams.

    Sketchy is used by students at every medical school in America.

    90% OF SKETCHY MEDICAL STUDENTS REPORT HIGHER TEST SCORES.

    94% OF USERS SAY STUDYING WITH SKETCHY SAVES TIME.

    78% OF USERS SAY SKETCHY IMPROVES THEIR RECALL SPEED.

    300,000 STUDENTS ARE NOW DOCTORS THANKS TO SKETCHY.

    Sketchy was founded in 2013 when four medical students began creating sketched stories to help them memorize complicated viruses. Since then, Sketchy has applied the same visual learning techniques to a variety of subjects, and become a premiere learning destination for students around the world.

    Sketchy is a TCG (The Chernin Group) portfolio company (alongside notable brands like Headspace, Food52, Barstool Sports, and Crunchyroll) and a Reach Capital portfolio company (joining other start-ups that bring a playfulness to learning).

    ABOUT THE ROLE: 

    We are looking for dynamic, creative clinical educators to help us improve and expand our clinical education product, which helps medical students succeed on their rotations, their shelf exams, and the USMLE Step 2. Sketchy has helped over 100,000 med students become doctors with courses like SketchyMicro, SketchyPharm, SketchyIM, and Sketchy Ob/Gyn; our team works to continuously improve these courses and build new content to help medical students achieve their goals. 

    For this Content Developer role, deep experience as a clinician educator is preferred, but what we want most of all is someone who is ready to push for excellent, genuinely innovative resources and perspectives on medical school content. What makes Sketchy’s approach unique is the “writer’s room” attitude we bring to content creation. We synthesize good teaching, deep content expertise, talented artists and video staff, and our own personality and sense of humor—ultimately creating a product that is fun and unforgettable. Expect to bring some of those creative ideas and some past work product, if applicable, to the interview process.  

    We are hiring in both full-time and part-time capacities for this team. If you have a preference for one or the other, please indicate this in your application.  Here at Sketchy, we value the clinical expertise that our Content Developers bring to the table, and are happy to partner with our clinicians who wish to balance clinical practice with impactful work beyond the clinical setting.

    Note: While you will always have a seat to work from at our Los Angeles Headquarters, our transition to a remote-first company will allow you to work from the location of your choice in select states across the country. As travel and working conditions return back to “normal”, we will find opportunities to increasingly meet and collaborate in person.
