Anki Tagger: A Generative AI Tool for Aligning Third-Party Resources to Pre-clinical Curriculum

ABSTRACT

Medical students complete much of their preclinical didactic learning outside of the classroom with the assistance of third-party resources instead of traditional lectures, such as Anki flashcard decks. In this research letter, we describe a novel method to efficiently select relevant flashcards from existing Anki decks and associate those cards with individual lectures within the user’s medical school curriculum. We selected flashcards from the AnKing flashcard deck that contained 35,152 flashcards and tagged them to the preclinical curriculum at our institution. The process developed is highly scalable, with individual lecture guides processed in minutes at a minimal computational cost. The feasibility of implementing Chat-GPT flashcard generation into pre-clerkship medical school curricula has not been evaluated and is an area of future study. Subsequently, a comparison of medical students’ satisfaction with self-made Anki flashcards compared to ChatGPT-tagged Anki flashcard decks should be conducted.
