Cmil=2kli/Vd
This is a formula my electrical class struggled to retain until I swapped "2kli" to "2kil".
The formula now reads like this:
The doctor said "Take some Cmil to kill VD."
Cmil=2kil/Vd
They rarely forget it now!

V P
O S
A S

Precertification,
Preauthorization,
Predetermination
The medical office assistant needs to find out if the patient's insurance is in benefit (pre-) before treatment. First, the "c" in Precertification stands for covered. Next, Preauthoriation "a" is receiving word from the insurance company that the treatment is medically necessary. The "d" in predetermination stands for the dollars the plan will pay for the treatment. The letters spell "cad". This simple memory device is most effective when the student plays the roll of the patient.

Developing these can be a lot of fun. One of my favorites to show where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue: Mariah Carrey marries Mister Rogers. My students have come up to me semesters later when they are about to graduate and they still remember!
