Does anyone have any strategies for memorizing the drug cards? They seem a bit overwhelming.

Group the cards into classes based on mechanism of action. Then take all the drugs from those classes, and make a table, and for each one, put in the dose, dosage forms, major adverse reactions, patient consultation notes, pregnancy status, etc.

It's not gonna fit on here, so PM me with your e-mail and I'll send you an example of one of my tables.

I get what you're saying. I'll give it a shot and see if I retain things better.

Thanks!

Unless you have photographic memory, you're not going to get anything out of reading them. You need to reprocess that information for your brain to retain it.

Spreadsheets with the drugs grouped by class/MoA is the way to go.
