How to use Anki for medical school
#part1
❓What is Anki?
Anki is an app that helps you in learning and memorizing facts. It has an algorithm built into it that allows you to implement spaced Repetition into your learning. This app shows you flashcards right before you are about to forget them. Spaced repetition is a study technique that mitigates the forgetting curve of memory. Using Anki helps you as it incorporates the two most important techniques for effective learning: Active Recall and Spaced Repetition.
❓How To Get Started with Anki?
First, Download Anki. It’s available on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS.
👉You can also access it on AnkiWeb if you choose not to pay for the iOS app.
It is also recommended to read the official Anki Manual for better usage of this app.
‼️Don’t substitute it for understanding, and do not just simply memorize the facts via brute force.
📌Follow us to see our future posts about informing some pre-made Anki decks available for medical students!

Best Premade Anki Decks that are useful for medical students
#part2
🔘We talked about Anki and how it could be used by medical students for reviewing their knowledge (see our post here). Now, we want to introduce some premade Anki decks that you can add to your Anki and use them.
🔘Pre-made Anki decks are sets of flashcards that have been created by other students. They are fantastic as you don’t have to spend hundreds of hours making cards from scratch.
✔️Anking step 1 & 2
This deck is the KING of all medical school decks. It is the perfect deck if you are studying for the USMLE but can also be used by students around the world.
✔️Rubyfinals
Just like the AnKing decks were made for US medical students. The Rubyfinals decks are made for UK medical students.
✔️USUHS
This deck was made by a Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) student. The deck does contain some university-specific cards, however, it does have general First Aid and Pathoma cards. This is a large deck with over 3000 images.
📌Some of the following decks are found on Reddit. This is where students from around the world get together and have great banter about Anki. Because of this awesome community, some people like to share their decks. This results in a lot of the decks for the medical school being made available on the subreddit.
