Why build your own ABIM deck

Board review for internal medicine covers a wide range of topics, and a ready-made ABIM Anki deck may not match the gaps in your own training. DeckOwl takes the notes, slides or PDFs you already have and turns them into cards you can study with spaced repetition.

Cards come from your own review material, so the deck reflects what you are actually studying.
Spaced repetition brings back the cards you find hardest more often.
Free plan: 3 generations per month, with study in the browser.
Plus adds unlimited generations and export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Example internal medicine flashcards for ABIM review

What is the first-line pharmacologic therapy for type 2 diabetes?Metformin, alongside lifestyle changes, unless contraindicated.

What is the most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia?Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Which ECG finding is characteristic of hyperkalemia?Peaked T waves, which can progress to widened QRS and other conduction changes.

What is the usual first test when pulmonary embolism is suspected in a patient with low pretest probability?D-dimer, since a negative result helps rule out the diagnosis in that group.

Which lab pattern suggests SIADH?Hyponatremia with low serum osmolality and inappropriately concentrated urine.

Generate the full set

Your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Reviews are scheduled so the cards you miss come back more often, which suits long-term board prep.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan you can export your cards to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV files.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the review text, lecture slides or photos of pages you plan to study from.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl creates flashcards from the material, along with quizzes and mind maps if you want them.

Study and export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, then export to Anki on a paid plan.

Start with the material you trust most, such as a review text, program handouts or your own summaries from clinical rotations. Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of pages, and the generator turns them into flashcards and quizzes.

Once the cards exist, spaced repetition schedules reviews so weak topics come back more often. Paid plans add export to Anki, so you can keep your deck in the app you already use.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for ABIM review?

There is no fixed number. Aim for one card per fact you would need to recall under exam pressure, and focus on topics you keep missing rather than copying every line of a text.

How should I use spaced repetition for board review?

Review a little every day and let the schedule bring back cards you miss more often. Mixing topics from different systems is more useful than studying one chapter at a time.

Can I export my ABIM deck to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan allows 3 generations per month and browser study only, with no exports.

Is there a ready-made ABIM Anki deck I can download?

DeckOwl does not provide a prebuilt ABIM deck. It builds flashcards from your own material, so the cards match the sources you choose to study.
