NeurAnki: Enhance your Learning by Harnessing the Power of Science-Backed Spaced Repetition
What is NeurAnki?
Welcome to the next game-changer in town - NeurAnki. The first-ever comprehensive Neurology deck tailored towards Neurology Residents to ace their RITE and Board Examinations while enhancing their knowledge base. It's a digital flashcard system that optimizes your learning experience, simplifying complex topics and helping you retain knowledge effectively. NeurAnki will be a structured deck, meticulously categorized and tagged for easy access. It will cover a broad spectrum of neurology topics, from diseases to diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines. Visual aids, like diagrams and images, to further enhance your understanding.
Why NeurAnki?
NeurAnki employs spaced repetition, a research-backed effective method of learning to reinforce your memory at the perfect intervals. It saves you precious study time with readily available flashcards. Plus, it's customizable, so you can add your notes and cards for a personalized learning experience. Reading can be tough, especially after a long day at work during residency. On the other hand, you can learn a card just by walking from one part of the hospital to another! It's tech savvy and it is the next big thing. Why not use it to cram those genes, drugs and syndromes?
Who’s behind the scenes?
NeurAnki is an ambitious project of Dr. Idha Sood, an IMG from India and Dr. Michael Kentris, founder of The Neurotransmitters. Both of us are committed to improving Neurology Education, and want to contribute meaningfully by providing creative solutions. Moreover, we are proud to have the support and backing of the World Neurology Foundation (WFNO), an organization that shares our commitment to advancing global neurological care and education. Together, we are energized and ready to transform the world of Neurology Education!
