This is going to be based off of the WildCard Workflow posted on reddit.

We followed a modified version of this workflow for our first year and had really good success with it. This is the general idea:

• Watch a high yield video (Boards and Beyond, Sketchy, Pathoma, etc.) before lecture
• Unsuspend cards related to that video (Anking deck)
• Do those cards
• Watch lecture
• Unsuspend cards related to that lecture (DMU deck - TheMatrix)
• Make any cards you may need to supplement the DMU deck (supposedly it is a really good deck but you never know if you may think something is important and you want to make a card out of it - TheMatrix is the deck that Nick, Josh, and Hunter made to correspond well with the AnKing deck, if you use a different deck that has been handed down, you will do the same thing, we are just biased toward the tagging and card style of our deck)
• Do those cards
• Do practice questions (Boards and Beyond, USMLE Rx, AMBOSS, pick your poison)
• Make cards over questions that you missed
• Do those cards
• Rinse, repeat
• I’m doing these three steps the night before. So I would wake up, do my “review” cards, then watch the lecture and go from there.

We’re breaking it up by block - so I’ll keep all the cards that I used un-suspended until that big exam at the end of the 8 weeks. Once the block is over, I’ll keep only the Anking cards unsuspended and any cards from DMU that I think are really good for Step 1/COMLEX 1. Otherwise your review pile would just get overwhelming.

This is what the first semester might look like

Anatomy

Pre: Look over lecture, transfer objectives to notion

Day of: Watch lecture and unsuspend anki, unsuspend cards from UMich, AnKing, and 100Concepts
