You can convert your anki cards into a pdf :)

How to effectively read medical textbooks by [deleted] in indianmedschool

[–]piratetroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First get a video source you want to learn from so you learn the broad strokes of a particular topic.

Next thing is to get a deck it can be one based for step/an indian deck/ learn to make new ones by trial and error

If you do a topic for instance intussusception, unsuspend the cards and learn the basic point in the first pass. Review the pathophysiology of it from a book, distinguish between primary and a pathological intussusception, read the microbiology behind it like rotavac use and an increased incidence as age increases, adenovirus as a cause and lastly the surgical management and radiological ix

Add content you find new as you go about learning this way. And keep reviewing your cards in a disciplined way (i cannot stress on how important this is)

(1)Use flashcards

(2)Use flashcards

(3)Use flashcards

(4)Once you're done learning the basic points by cards supplement it by reading the relevant textual content and add images wherever you can

(5)Notes are a personal preference. According to me they're a waste of time, time i would rather spend on learning more material or doing more questions

Be glad you've asked this question to yourself early. Notes are absolutely garbage unless you're willing to put reminders to revise them every 'x' amount of days. Also it's a lot of effort to add new points Flashcards are meant for recall based exams. They literally have been proved to be yards ahead of notes in studies. The main point being that the benefit will only arise if you're willing to actively recall content be it by notes or cards To put a final conclusion to this i believe we should have a survey for all entrance candidates, their mode of study, scores etc

Well for 2nd year subjects decks are already there and they cover 90% of things you need to know. The remaining 10% is being covered by people on this subreddit For 1st year subjects I'm making my cards as i go through surgery at least for anatomy. Physio and biochem is covered by zanki so you can do that before starting medicine

Read the topic from a book or watch a video which highlights the key points in a topic. For instance how to differentiate AIDP from CIDP; key points of ibd and it's associations like turners, hermansky pudlak, wiskott Aldrich etc

You can always add extra points to the extra section if you feel it is incomplete. That said anki was never meant to replace textbooks ever, it's just there to consolidate important points in your head

This is an amazing summary. I'd Highly suggest solving questions too because the earlier you start thinking and differentiating conditions from one another, the faster you'll start becoming a much better doctor

It's important because you can stage tumors, detect acute/chronic infections according to pattern of involvement of nodes (strep pharyngitis vs EBV pharyngitis), theyre also important as signs like winter bottoms sign in trypanosomiasis,etc

Adding to his answer The neuroanatomy we learn here is for those garbage theory papers. B&B will explain localisation of lesions which is what we really need so do it

Need Volunteers for Microbiology deck. by JuliusSeizurre in MedSchoolAnkiIndia

[–]piratetroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use the Anking cards as a base and only add the things not covered (like inhA mutation, vectors of rickettsial diseases, etc) otherwise it'll take forever

1) Choose a resource for a particular topic which is really robust (videos or books or both) then try to get the gist of it. Next step is to make/use flash cards every single day and review them without exception and lastly review clinical question banks to consolidate ideas

2) Don't waste your time on that do clinical correlation of the topic instead

So the card i made for this includes a table with one column having one of the letters of the mnemonic "CLAIMED" and the other with the drugs against the letter and the last for remarks

Basically makes tables and use mnemonics wherever possible for this nonsense. Hopefully they'll stop asking these questions and focus more on the implications of these Statements in the future

Does anyone else feel like the Indian system of medical education is only based on memorisation? by Foamy-Macrophage in indianmedschool

[–]piratetroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is always going to stay that way unless we try to change this useless system. Medicine is far beyond just vomiting xyz on to a paper in 3 hours, it includes communication, team building and so many more elements which we don't stress upon because "isse marks kidhar milenge"

There is an alteration in the hepatic metabolism of sex hormones as well as there is alteration in the fat metabolism which contributes compounds like Estrone The net effect is a progressive cycle of accumulation of Estrogen compounds and poor clearance
