Must-Have Anki Addons for Medical School and How To Use Them

I've probably tried at least 100 Anki Addons by now. Doing so I've found a couple of Addons that actually make a difference in my studying. The right add-ons can optimize your studying and everyone wants that right? I hope you find this video helpful!

Who am I:
My name is Zach. I'm a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on KZread or my website 🌐 (zhighley.com/).
I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet 😬).

    First of all thanks a lot for your videos! A useful tip for Image Occlusion: You can multi-select fields and group them using the G key. Next, you can select 'Hide One, Guess One' and you will get one card for each group, hiding only one of the groups. Thanks a lot for your videos! They are really helpful and also nicely edited.

    You have inspired me to really use Anki. I’ve known about it for years but never used it. I’ve learned so much with your videos. Thank you thank you thank you! The only downside is O haven’t found many anki premade decks to study in spanish. I don’t mind learning in english, it is just a bit harder.

    Thanks for the great video outlining these add-ons! I hadn't used any and I found ANKI a massive chore (even more when I'm trying to make new cards and build subcategories on them). Just an FYI, I learned this while working at a nuclear plant. When dictating numbers, it's better to chunk them into 3 digits and give a slight pause between them. That way the listener is better able to decipher and understand the number in real-time. (similar to how you chunk numbers into 3-4 for phone numbers, etc.) I had to pause the video to grab the numbers several times to grab the codes. Can't wait to learn more about more effective use of ANKI, thanks again.

Now I think Hoochie adds-on aren't available to this Anki version and When I click on the main parent deck "Zanki" I will see new cards from Biochemistry first because that is the first subdeck.
