Why build your own deck

Residents often start with a shared Anki deck for internal medicine residency, and a shared deck is a fine place to begin for the classics. It will not reflect your program's noon conference slides, the attending who always asks about fluid management, or the topics your last in-training exam exposed.

  • Cards come from your rotation notes, conference slides and reading, not a generic list.
  • Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you revisit weak areas before they fade.
  • Anki export on Plus lets you keep one deck across residency and board prep.
  • Students get 40% off with a school email.
Example internal medicine residency flashcards
What are the diagnostic criteria for diabetic ketoacidosis?Glucose usually above 250 mg/dL, arterial pH below 7.30, serum bicarbonate below 18 mEq/L, and ketonemia or ketonuria.
Which ECG change appears first in hyperkalemia?Peaked T waves, followed by PR prolongation, P-wave flattening, QRS widening and eventually a sine wave pattern.
What is the first-line anticoagulant for most patients with stable pulmonary embolism?Low-molecular-weight heparin or a direct oral anticoagulant such as apixaban, with warfarin as an alternative.
What is the usual empiric outpatient treatment for community-acquired pneumonia in a healthy adult without comorbidities?Amoxicillin or doxycycline, since these cover the common bacterial pathogens and local resistance patterns guide the choice.
Why limit the rate of sodium correction in chronic hyponatremia?Overly rapid correction can cause osmotic demyelination, so guidelines commonly cap the rise at about 8 mEq/L per 24 hours in high-risk patients.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for internal medicine boards review?

There is no fixed number that works for everyone. Generate cards chapter by chapter or lecture by lecture, and focus on the high-yield topics you keep missing so each deck stays manageable.

What should I prioritize when studying for internal medicine residency?

Most residents concentrate on acute care, electrolyte disorders, cardiology and infectious disease, since these come up often on wards and boards. Turning your own case notes and conference material into cards keeps that review tied to real patients.

Can I export my DeckOwl deck to Anki?

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