Anki Flashcards
Anki flashcards are a digital learning tool designed to help medical students effectively learn and retain vast amounts of complex medical knowledge. Anki utilizes spaced repetition, an evidence-based learning technique that optimizes memory retention and recall. Using Anki, medical students can create personalized flashcards covering a wide range of topics, including key concepts, diseases, medications, anatomy and physiology, clinical medicine and more.
Type of card
- Basic
Has Front and Back fields, and will create one card. Text you enter in Front will appear on the front of the card, and text you enter in Back will appear on the back of the card.
- Basic (and reversed card)
Like Basic, but creates two cards for the text you enter: one from frontβ†'back and one from backβ†'front.
- Basic (optional reversed card)
This is a frontβ†'back card, and optionally a backβ†'front card. To do this, it has a third field called β€Add Reverse.β€ If you enter any text into that field, a reverse card will be created.
- Basic (type in the answer)
This is essentially Basic, with an extra text box on the front where you can type your answer in, after flipping to the back your input would be checked and compared with the answer.
- Cloze
A note type which makes it easy to select text and turn it into a cloze deletion (e.g., β€Man landed on the moon in […]β€ β†' β€Man landed on the moon in 1969β€
- Image Occlusion
Like the cloze notetype, but it works with images instead of text, which is especially useful when studying material that heavily relies on images, such as anatomy, geography, and more.
