Pro Tips for Medical Students
Additional strategies to maximize your Anki effectiveness
Keep New Cards Low
Start with 15-20 new cards per day. Medical content is dense, and review burden builds up quickly.
Use Separate Decks by Subject
Create different decks for anatomy, pharmacology, pathology. This allows subject-specific pacing.
Review Daily
Consistency is key. Even 30 minutes daily is better than cramming. Set a specific review time.
Use Image Occlusion
Perfect for anatomy diagrams and pathology images. Create visual cards for better retention.
