AI Study Resources During Med School?

[TrailToWhiteCoat]

Hi all,

I’m curious if anyone has been using or is familiar with any AI resources like tutors or virtual coaches for med school students? Would love to hear about your experiences.

For context, a friend of mine is in their first year and we were chatting about study tools outside of the classroom and the combo of ANKI/Sketchy/Osmosis/Pathoma (which is what I used). They asked about AI resources and I thought: “Let’s ask the community!”

FWIW a couple of users have made good GPT's trained on USMLE and NBME style questions that are good.

Using it for practice questions generation or explaining a topic succinctly might be useful. However nothing is going to make up for actually learning the material well. If you want to do well in your class material, You're going to have to learn class notes and listen to the lectures.

I just use Chat GPT to clarify questions that I have. I primarily used Anki throughout preclerkship and it worked wonders for me.

I’ve used notebook LM to make practice questions from in-house slides

I found AI to be good at writing first or second order board style questions, but no matter how much input I give to the question I asked of AI, it cannot write a third order item to save its life.

Hello @Goro , this is a very interesting observation. I am developing an AI tool that writes questions and summaries based on the lecture. You upload the lecture and the app analyzes it and generates the questions and summary. I trained it on thousands of questions and the corresponding lecture. Would you mind testing the app and letting me know what you think? It is free. I am working to see how accurate it is.

Thank you so much!

I wouldn't mind testing that!

It asks me to sign in, and I'm afraid that I can't do that, for fear of being doxxed.

Oh, Google handles the OAuth, and I only see a randomly generated ID, but I understand. Is it possible to use a fake Google account? If not, I can think of something else. Thank you so much! I am very interested to see what you have to say!

What engine did you use to write that? And what's the answer?

I used ChatGPT, I gave it an example on what a third order question looks like and explained the reasoning why it’s important to write such questions. The first question it wrote was alright but its answer choices are the annoying part because they are so distinct from each other. So I have to train it to make them close enough to be relatively ambiguous. Not 100% sure if it worth the hassle but I use it to write very difficult questions for narrow topics I try to be better at.

Answer is A.

I got it correct!

I will try your mods and see what mine come up with. Many thanks!
