Best Mnemonics Training System?

Recently, I began applying mnemonics to my studies and find it to be an amazing way to remember random words.

However, the way I do it is pretty self taught. I imagine there are other, more established techniques in applying mnemonics.

I figure the best people to ask about mnemonic systems are medical students, so, I am wondering what systems do you recommend? That is, did you study mnemonics formally, like from a paid program? Have you tried a few programs? which one helped you the most?

Or do you have your own method of mnemonics? It'd be great to read them.

Thanks!

This audio program helped me a lot.
The information can be found in other sources, but I just like the way he presented it.

I am a mnemonic freak. I use them for almost everything I learn.
Some people don't find them that useful, but I probably would have failed out of school without them. Part of the problem is that many people don't make strong enough connections.

Thanks for the lead, I picked up a copy and am checking it now.

But a couple questions... I notice these memory tricks are good for remember simple objects, like "Bike, Swing, Screwdriver, Tub"

But is this stuff just as good at remembering O-Chem information, Biology, equations, Drug facts, side effects, etc?

Or, does the author go into how to memorize arbitrary things like equations and such?

You'll have to vary the techniques based on the info.
The things that helped me most were relating images to the info; kind of like a little visual story.
Also, for biochem pathways, I used the journey method.

I never thought I was a very "visual" person, but the more I used it, the more it helped. It may seem low yield in the beginning, but like any other skill you get better over time.

The main thing is just to associate the unknown with something more familiar. I'm not sure if it's in those CDs or in a book I read, but I practiced memorizing random decks of cards. It was a good way to work on the journey system.
