Why med school flashcards work better from your own slides
Med school puts a large amount of detail in front of you, from drug mechanisms to cranial nerve pathways, often within a single week. Med school flashcards made from the exact slides and notes your professor used keep your review tied to what will be on the exam.
- Cards generated from your own lecture slides, PDFs and notes
- Spaced repetition that schedules reviews for each card
- Photos of textbook pages read with text recognition
- Anki and CSV export on paid plans for studying on other devices
Built from your material
Upload lecture slides, PDFs, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of textbook pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know move to longer intervals, so review time goes where it counts.
Study anywhere
Study in your browser on the Free plan. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export so your cards work with the tools you already use.
How it works
Upload your lecture material
Add slides, PDFs, notes or photos from your anatomy, pharmacology or pathology course.
Review the generated cards
Check the front and back of each flashcard and edit anything that does not match your lecture.
Study on a daily schedule
Work through the due cards each day and let spaced repetition decide when each one returns.
Generic card decks cover the subject, but they rarely match the emphasis of your course. Building cards from your own material means the questions reflect the terms, diagrams and case examples your instructor actually taught.
Spaced repetition then does the scheduling. Instead of rereading the same chapter the night before a block exam, you see each card just as you are about to forget it.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a med school exam?
There is no fixed number, because it depends on the exam and the material. A good rule is one card per distinct fact, so a single slide describing a mechanism may need two or three cards to cover the drug, the target and the adverse effect.
How often should I review med school flashcards?
Short daily sessions work better than long weekend cram sessions for most students. Spaced repetition helps by bringing back each card just before you would be likely to forget it.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is available on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per 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 without entering a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
