How Medical Students Use Scholarly
Anatomy Flashcards from Lecture PDFs
Upload your anatomy lecture slides or textbook chapters as PDFs and get flashcards covering structures, innervations, blood supply, and clinical correlations.
Pharmacology Drug Cards
Convert pharmacology notes into drug cards with mechanism of action, side effects, contraindications, and drug interactions. Study them with spaced repetition to lock in details before exams.
Pathology Study Sets
Turn pathology readings into organized flashcard sets covering disease mechanisms, histological findings, and clinical presentations. Upload images of slides alongside your notes.
USMLE and COMLEX Prep
Build board review flashcard sets from First Aid, Pathoma, or your own notes. Use spaced repetition to retain high-yield facts across all organ systems over months of dedicated study.
Features That Matter for Med School
Multi-Format Upload
Upload PDFs, PowerPoints, Word docs, images, or paste text directly. Works with lecture recordings via YouTube links too.
Spaced Repetition
Study with built-in spaced repetition that schedules reviews at optimal intervals, essential for retaining the volume of material in medical school.
Quiz and Test Mode
Switch between flashcard review and quiz mode to test yourself under exam-like conditions. Great for simulating board-style recall.
Export to Anki
Already use Anki? Export your AI-generated cards directly to Anki format. You can also print cards or share sets with classmates.
How It Works
Step 1: Upload Your Material
Upload lecture PDFs, textbook chapters, or paste notes from any source.
Step 2: AI Creates Cards
Our AI extracts key concepts, definitions, and clinical details into flashcards.
Step 3: Study & Review
Study with spaced repetition, take quizzes, or export to Anki. Your cards, your workflow.
Built for the volume of med school
Medical school throws more material at you than any other program. Scholarly turns your real lectures, First Aid pages, and pathology readings into flashcards in seconds, so you spend your time learning instead of typing cards.
Because the cards come from your own material, they match exactly what your professors emphasize and what shows up on your exams — not a generic deck written for someone else's curriculum. Upload a PDF, paste your notes, or drop in slide images, and the AI pulls out the structures, mechanisms, and clinical correlations that matter.
Then study the way that works for you: spaced repetition to lock in high-yield facts over months of board prep, quiz mode to simulate USMLE-style recall, or export to Anki and print sets to bring to the wards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Scholarly handle the volume of material in medical school?
Yes. You can create unlimited flashcard sets and upload large PDFs. Many med students create separate sets per course or organ system and use spaced repetition to review them over time.
Does it work with First Aid, Pathoma, or Sketchy notes?
You can upload your own notes, summaries, or PDFs from any source and generate flashcards from them. Upload what you have and the AI will create cards from it.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes. Scholarly supports direct export to Anki format, so you can generate cards here and study them in whichever app you prefer. You can also print cards as PDFs.
How is this different from pre-made Anki decks?
Pre-made decks are generic. Scholarly creates cards from your specific lectures and notes, so they match exactly what your professors teach and what will appear on your exams.
