The most famous and widely used mnemonic across the universe for differential diagnosis is ‘VINDICATE‘.

V-Vascular

I-Inflammatory

N-Neoplastic

D-Drugs

I-Iatrogenic

C-Congenital

A-Anatomic

T-Trauma

Here is another example of first letter differential diagnosis mnemonic, which I came up with:

‘Virtually In Nightclubs Drugs Increase Cancer Among Traumatized Elders‘

Differential Diagnosis Mnemonic – Substitute words

There is one other method to remember the diagnostic procedure;substitute words. Yes, since the terms do not trigger any mental images, we can assign substitute words to each of these terms and create a ridiculous and illogical differential diagnostic mnemonic story.I am going to give you the substitute words and you can create a story, the way I did in mnemonic for cranial nerves.

If you have your own differential diagnostic mnemonic, do let me know comments. And also let me know if you need help with memorizing anything?
Memorize…the easy way…the crazy way!!!
