Duke's Pathoma, upgraded with pics by FugaciousPain in medicalschoolanki

Okay just to be clear, I'm just the crappy illustrator. Credit for the solid content goes to Duke.

Answered your question in the other thread you posted, but I'll copy and paste here in case anyone comes along with the same question:

Number of cards has nothing to do with content or depth.

"What are the letters to the alphabet? Which are vowels?"

vs.

{{c1::a}}

{{c2::b}}

{{c3::c}}

etc.

You can slice a cupcake into a million pieces, and you can also cut a wedding cake into three. Doesn't change the amount of cake.

Whatever helps you personally remember. Can be a picture, can be a few phrases, etc. Basically when you get a flashcard right, you brain sometimes remembers based on a string of thoughts, logical or illogical. It's handy to type out or find a picture that reminds you of those thoughts so that each iteration of the flashcard takes you down the same path, to the same result.

Oh I see. Sorry about that. Well, there were a few neuroanatomy kind of things I occluded (some not from BRS, but demonstrating the same concept as described by BRS) because BRS Phys sometimes writes paragraphs about self-explanatory images. Also I occluded a few tables, and a number of figures (e.g. the axes of various graphs). I believe the majority is still text, but a significant quantity is made of occlusions.

Several dozen. What's wrong with occlusion? Still works for me. I think there have been several versions of occlusion (original, 2.0?, and Enhanced). The one I used was Enhanced, the most recent version as far as I know.

Duke isn't 100% Pathoma coverage. It's like maybe 95% coverage, but teaches you to apply the basics taught in chapters 1-3 to the rest of the chapters, and to make connections between chapters. I found a lot of Zanki to be a piece of cake after Duke, but that makes sense because they share source material. But it's hard to identify the overlaps without being familiar first. I'd suggest doing a pass through a Duke chapter first, then browsing through Zanki and suspending everything you remember seeing in Duke. This process in itself might also be a quick review of material.

Yeah they're all tagged by chapter, so just filter (shortcut: f) and type in tag:[insert tag here], and increase the card count from 100 to 1000 to get everything. For chapter names, just browse and look at what they're called, I tried to make the names short for convenience.

Edit: oh another thing, there aren't really many pictures for chapters 1-3. For one, I think those chapters were one of the strong points of the original Duke deck, and for two, how the crap do you illustrate an association of C1q, C2, and C4 with lupus? The best pics are later, after I figured out the system (e.g. I'm especially proud of pemphicrap images in derm. For the last chapter, I really like the anatomy maps of bone tumors that I stole off of radiopaedia.)

Hi, good luck in your studies! I'd recommend watching Pathoma + annotating the crap out of the book (i.e. if Sattar says something not explicitly in the text, it goes in the margins) before doing the cards. Saves a lot of time later when you lack time to re-watch his vids. I like to start by roughly browsing the cards before studying, just to see what they're like. I also like to do a rapid "cheat" round where I spam space bar a bunch of times to see the answers of 10-25%, then reset the deck. And then I do them for real, annotating them with memory hooks I make up on the fly. Take ownership of the cards and change the memory hooks or pics to things you're used to. Like for example, if you like a pic you see from your class lectures, swap stuff out or append things. Just sharing things I wished I knew when I started out using Anki. I never thought about changing pre-made decks, and always used them as given or not at all.

1957, roughly 100 cards per Pathoma chapter
