Step 3 anki deck3/19/2023 ★ VERY IMPORTANT The decks have been rearranged so that there is an AnKing head deck and then a "Step 1" and "Step 2" subdeck. ★ Add-ons we recommend to go along with this deck if you don't already have them: AnKing Note Types (Easy Customization), BetterSearch, and Edit Field During Review (Cloze). You can also rearrange the order of fields. ★ If you want the hints to show rather than having to click (or hit "h" if you have the hint hotkeys add-on), you can choose to auto-reveal them in the note styling or with the add-on. If you have the Clickable tags add-on, you can click them to bring up all other cards with that tag. ★ We added a thing that shows you the tag at the bottom of the card. You can add "edit:" to other fields if you'd like to make them editable (see our video on that add-on for how to do this). ★ We made the extra section so it can be edited with the “Edit field during review (Cloze)” add on. We will be using the other fields in future updates. ★ Moving forward, we recommend you make personal edits in the "Lecture Notes", "Missed Questions", "Pathoma" and "Boards and Beyond" fields and protect them with the Special Fields add-on for future updates. This video highlights newer updates that were eventually made. ★ This video describes html/css in detail and explains how you can customize it. I might consider someone with a step 1 failure if the other exams are all much better and there's evidence of academic growth in the remainder of the application.★ This new video describes the brand new AnKingOverhaul note type and the add-on that we made to make it very customizable and user friendly. Certainly a step 3 failure is an immediate screen-out on my part. With that said, even though step 1 is pretty much irrelevant to me I do still screen out people if they've failed a step exam. Step 2 is less important than 3 but more than 1 so its conversion factor is in the middle. their performance on step 1 is pretty irrelevant to me other than that they passed it. But I'm looking at fellowship applicants these people have been in clinical practice now for a minimum of 3 years. Within that formula are conversion factors for each of the board exams and I weight step 3 more heavily than steps 2 or 1. I don't just interview the top 60 people by points, sometimes someone lower down has something in their PS that makes me interested in meeting them sometimes someone in the top 60 has other red flags that make me put their application to the side. I'm still going to look through all of the applications but I do it in order from highest points to lowest points. One way I do that is with a formula that assigns points to all of the items on the ERAS application (board scores, publications, presentations, etc), and reduces the application to a number that I can then stratify. In the first stage of fellowship application review, I'm sifting through hundreds of applications and trying to come up with a way of narrowing down the list to a more manageable number (to determine who to invite for interviews). Keep in mind this is an n of 1 each institution and training program will have their own way of evaluating applicants.
