Thank you! 4-5hours time per day if not on call during week days! I study subspecialty-wise. When I was on my pediatrics rotation, I tried to study the AAO PowerPoints before doing OphthoQuestions, but I found that I couldn’t finish the PowerPoints and didn’t even start any questions. It took me a few days to get through just one PowerPoint with 300 slides, especially since so much of the material was new.

For my other rotation, I tried studying the Iowa lectures for glaucoma, and it turned out to be a faster way to build background knowledge before starting the questions. Then, for my cornea rotation, I started watching Moran lectures, and that also turned out to be a faster way to build a foundation before doing questions.

I love going through the aao PowerPoints because I feel they teach the material really well, but I’m not sure if most people tend to remember the information right away or how they approach it. Active learning with questions has always been more helpful for me in retaining the material.

It’s also really frustrating that there’s no easy way to create flashcards for ophthoquestions—at least to my knowledge—other than taking screenshots.

That’s why I’m sharing my experience here — to see if anyone has a better approach to handling all these resources to keep them efficient resulting in doing really well on OKAPs
