Why build your own med school deck

Pre-made decks rarely follow the order of your own course, so the most useful option is building an Anki deck for med school from the material you already have.

Cards match your professor's slides and wording, not a generic textbook.
Spaced repetition schedules reviews so high-yield facts come back before exams.
Upload scanned notes or photos of pages when you do not have a digital copy.
Export to Anki on Plus if you already rely on Anki across your clinical years.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make per lecture for med school?

There is no fixed number, since it depends on density. Aim for one fact per card, so a dense slide can produce several cards and a simple one may produce only one.

How should I use spaced repetition for pathophysiology?

Review new cards daily at first, then let the spacing grow as you recall answers correctly. Explain the mechanism out loud when you miss a card, because pathophysiology is easier to retain as a chain of cause and effect.

Can I export my deck to Anki?

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

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. You do not need a credit card to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
