About ScrubIn

We're building the future of surgical education, one focused lesson at a time.

Our Mission

Jane was studying. The problem wasn’t effort. She couldn’t convert what she read into answers when an attending turned and asked her a question in the OR. The 15 minutes between cases were spent Googling. Frantically, in a panic. Zero percent correct.

Then she switched to active, Socratic, case-based recall. The way attendings actually teach in the OR. She went from 0% to answering 25 to 50% of OR questions correctly. That delta is ScrubIn. A surgical board-prep tool built around the way attendings actually teach: case, decision, consequence, repeat.

“I watched Jane try every surgical study tool out there. Each one had the same problem: hard to use, inaccessible, or not actually teaching her anything that stuck. She needed something simple, knowledge-enhancing, and open to anyone training to be a surgeon. So we built it.”
