To anyone that is new, HI! I'm Prerak - an internal medicine resident at Stanford! I love making videos about productivity, medicine, and business. Follow along for more and check the links below to connect with me on other platforms!
I mentioned that you can learn ALL about Anki from one of my previous videos and here it is:

Medical Residency training is an intensive, time-consuming job that leaves you little time to study. To help you effectively use the little time you have available to study during your Residency, try using some of these study tips (taken from: [ Ссылка ]):
1. Schedule out your time and establish goals: Odds are there really won't be an optimal time to study so you will have to schedule time to make it happen. Put the schedule on paper along with your overall study goals (i.e. Week 1- Harrison's chapters 3-5 and 25 practice board exam questions, etc.)
2. Keep a Running List of Interesting Topics That Come Up Throughout Your PGY1 Residency (via: [ Ссылка ])
After you've written down all the things that struck your curiosity through the day, research them. Get a small notebook to carry around with you during rounds, and jot down notes, or put them in the notes app on your phone. It’s also helpful to use specific patient cases that you encounter in real life as “story examples” while you’re studying.
3. Start Studying Early
With so many exams to prepare for, you’ve got a lot of studying to do. We’re here for you! MedStudy’s Personal Trainer will help you understand the timeline of prepping for board exams—and the sooner you start, the better off you’ll be.
Everyone has used the cramming method in the past. The problem is that it’s not enough, and it doesn’t last. That’s because cramming relies on short-term memory, which is limited, rather than long-term memory, which is virtually unlimited.
To be able to reliably call up the information you need, where and when you need it, embed knowledge into your brain by—you guessed it—starting to study early and using spaced-retrieval and interleaving.
This is because stories are a series of events, and our episodic memory mechanisms are most at home cataloging and encoding events. The “who, what, where, why, and when” of an event is encoded along with its importance, which builds long-term memories and improves your recall.
