Why build your own intern year deck

Shared decks rarely match your rotation. The best Anki deck for intern year is one built from your own handbook, lectures and cross-cover notes, because those are what your seniors and attendings will actually ask about.

Cards pulled from your own protocols, not a generic list
One fact per card, so reviews stay quick between patients
Spaced repetition that brings back weak cards more often
Anki export on Plus for studying offline on your phone

Example intern year topics for flashcards

Hyponatremia with severe symptoms: what is the key correction limit?Limit correction to about 8 mEq/L in 24 hours for high-risk patients to avoid osmotic demyelination.

Reversal agent for dabigatran?Idarucizumab.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: what must you stop?All heparin, including low-molecular-weight heparin and heparin flushes, and start a non-heparin anticoagulant such as argatroban or bivalirudin.

DKA: when do you add dextrose to the IV fluids?When glucose falls to about 250 mg/dL, while continuing the insulin infusion until the anion gap closes.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images, so handwritten-free printed pages work well.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at the right intervals, so the protocols and drug facts you use daily stay in memory during a busy rotation.

Export to Anki on Plus

Plus includes Anki export, so your deck can sit alongside your other study tools. The free plan studies in the browser.

How it works

Upload your sources

Add the handbook chapter, lecture slides or notes from your current rotation.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit anything that looks off, and keep the ones that match your hospital's protocols.

Study daily and export

Review a short session each day in the browser, and export to Anki on Plus when you want the deck on your phone.

Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl turns it into flashcards with spaced repetition. Intern-year material is dense, so cards work best when each one tests a single fact, such as a reversal agent or a fluid target.

The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Plus adds unlimited generations and Anki export, so you can keep the deck in the app you already use on the wards.

Frequently asked questions

How many cards should an intern year deck have?

There is no fixed number, but many interns keep a deck small and current, adding cards from each rotation instead of building one huge set. Aim for cards you can review in 15 to 20 minutes a day.

What topics belong in an intern year Anki deck?

Focus on high-yield items you need on call, such as electrolyte corrections, anticoagulant reversal, DKA management and sepsis fluid targets. Add your own hospital protocols and any drug doses your team uses often.

Can I export my deck to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
