![]() In a phrase: boredom during winter break (and a need to do a fun CS project outside of research stuff and Advent of code…which became painful after day 19). That notion of connectedness led me to actually see how “connected” all the different concepts we were learning about actually were. In a paragraph: Medical school can really seem like you’re drinking from a firehose, and there were definitely times in my first semester when it felt like that However, after a couple of weeks, my friends and I noticed that the content would suddenly feel connected to other bits of content we learn, making it much easier to remember. Accordingly, I found myself using both resources. for microbiology, we split it up by system instead of tackling it as one big block of content like other schools/resources do). However, since UCLA is currently undergoing a curriculum change, it was difficult to find cards that 100% correlated to what we did in class (e.g. The predominant advice in the medical school anki community is to avoid making your own cards and rely on the Anking deck. This deck contains 40,000+ cards based on popular study aids such as Sketchy, Boards and Beyond, Pathoma, etc, that are pretty much engineered to help with Step 1 prep. In addition to the in-house (i.e., school-specific) cards that I make for studying, I also use a compilation of decks made based on 3rd party resources called the AnKing deck. To my surprise, the scheduling algorithm actually does work (though with some minor tweaks required for the massive amount of content associated with medical school), and I was able to do very well on my exams so far just by making sure I kept up with daily reviews (i.e., the cards that anki tells me I have to re-do) and doing practice questions provided by the school. ![]() Personally, I’ve found the Anki algorithm to be great for medical school so far ( and about 108k other people agree with me as of Jan 2022) since it has minimized the amount of time I need to do a dedicated review for exams. In practice, this means that any card you look at on anki will show up again at some period later based on a spaced-repetition learning algorithm. For those not familiar, Anki is basically a flashcard application with some neat scheduling features built in to ensure that you don’t forget cards over time. Classes actually started in September (after a month of covering basic sciences that were more or less done in undergrad), and I have been using Anki for my studying since then. If you could give me a hand without too much trouble or point me in a direction where I could self teach I would be grateful.Over the past few months, I’ve been working towards my MD at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. I did have a quick look around YouTube for guidance but got lost quickly. Do I need to install anything - something Called Perl maybe? I imagine I need to have my text file in the right place. Would you be so kind as to give me a quick guide? I guess it involves the command line thingy invoked from the windows button. I’m not bad with using software (not clueless) but programming and scripts are a black hole for me. This has happened a few times on the forum but this script interests me enough to shyly ask how to do that. “Just run the script below” means close to zero to me. Rdearman, I am very interested in this but I am an A0 at running scripts. When you import the file into anki make sure you specify a tab delimited file, or it will not work. This will cloze delete every word in the file. Open(my $fh, ':encoding(UTF-8)', $outfile) # my $filename = "psicologia_italian2.txt"
