Turn your own med surg slides into flashcards with AI
Ready-made sets are hit or miss. Upload your med-surg lectures, slides or notes and DeckOwl builds flashcards that follow what your instructor actually teaches.
Why used med surg flashcards often fall short
Med-surg courses cover a lot of ground, from fluid and electrolyte balance to post-op care and cardiac monitoring, so med surg flashcards written for another school or another textbook rarely match what shows up on your exam.
- Cards reflect your own syllabus, not someone else's course order
- Easier to catch outdated lab ranges or protocol changes
- Works with the photos and handouts you already have
- Spaced repetition keeps weak topics in rotation until they stick
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain-text notes or photos of textbook pages and get cards drawn from them.
Spaced repetition
Cards resurface at the intervals that help you retain them, so you spend less time rereading and more time on the items you miss.
Export when you need it
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export so your cards work wherever you study.
How it works
Upload your med surg material
Add a lecture PDF, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of your handout. Text in images is read automatically.
Review the generated cards
Check the questions and answers against your course content, then keep, edit or delete any card.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck with spaced repetition and let the algorithm bring back cards you find difficult.
A used set can also carry outdated values, drug names or protocols. Cards made from your own lecture slides and assigned readings keep the emphasis your instructor chose, which is where most exam points come from.
Generating your own deck takes a few minutes, and you can add or cut cards as your unit moves forward.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a med-surg unit?
Most students do better with a focused set per lecture than one huge deck. Aim for the key terms, normal values, drug actions and nursing priorities in each chapter.
What should a good med-surg flashcard include?
One concept per card works best. Put the condition, drug or lab value on the front and the answer with the nursing action on the back, so you practice applying the knowledge.
Can I export my med surg cards to Anki?
Yes. Export to Anki is included with the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export.
Is there a free plan?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
