resourcephl

One of the driving forces behind the creation of Resourcephl was to address the discrepancy in mentorship opportunities that many students face. I was fortunate to have found wonderful mentors who guided me throughout my journey, and I wanted to create a platform where these opportunities could be more equitable for all students. This website is my way of paying it forward and ensuring that others have access to the guidance and resources they need to succeed in medical school.

I also wanted a place to create and share programming projects I worked on throughout medical school, including a project I'm currently developing to help students study more efficiently. This tool transcribes medical lectures from uploaded MP3 files using AWS Medical Transcribe, then uses generative AI to create concise, accurate notes from the transcriptions. Future plans include generating ANKI flashcards based on these lectures to save students time.

I am a big proponent for Anki, but I understand it is not for everyone. I will have a quick-start tutorial for new users that want to just get the basics down, but I suggest reading up and watching additional tutorials to fully understand how powerful Anki can be. Look for that soon!

Download the latest AnKing deck below that also comes with cards made from previous RVU students. For first year, I would stick with the RVU deck, but come second year and beyond, I would predominately use the AnKing deck. Head over to the Year 2 page for information on how I utilized that deck.

Additional deck found below. If you would like to have a bit more updated cards for the standalone AnKing deck, use this instead. This is what I am using for third year. However, some of the images and media are misplaced/missing, so just be aware of that. NOTE: The misplaced images are usually found under the "Additional Resources" field, so to move it, make sure to HIGHLIGHT the image, then copy and paste to the "Text" field.

Last alternative if you want the latest cards and the least hassle: buy a subscription for Ankihub. Probably the best option for those just beginning with Anki. They also offer a scholarship to be able to pay what you can.

Follow this in-depth guide if you want all the details on how to set up your settings, otherwise just copy my settings below if you don't care for the deets. Make sure to go to "Preferences" first to change to the V3 scheduler (NOTE: if using the latest Anki update, this may no longer be visible as the V3 scheduler comes as default. Fret not!)

Once you have the deck set up, ensure that all the cards are suspended by going to "Browse", select any card, hit "Ctrl + A" to select all, then finally hit "Ctrl + J" to suspend the cards. Now you can sort by tagged subjects to unsuspend specific cards for any resource you end up using!

And here's a quick video from Rob Makhkamov if you're going to use UWorld and the AnKing deck!
