I am shocked sometimes when I am working with a preceptor on the wards and I am able to answer a question correctly because I remember a detail from a Picmonic I watched during my first year! I love the way that Picmonic integrates visual and auditory learning, as well as kinesthetic interaction when answering questions. The videos are also short and interesting, so they keep my attention and I don't feel like I am spending too much time on any given topic!

Picmonic is actually very unique and I like it. Other big brand resources such as Sketchy(micro/pharm) and Pathoma have their strengths in specific disciplines. But they have disadvantages that Picmonics are able to fill in. For example, I find Sketchy's videos to be too long and the characters are bland and boring, so I need to use Anki to re-enforce.
