Got tired of the whole copy-the-QID, switch-to-Anki, search-the-tag, unsuspend workflow. I'm into computers so I built AnkiMaxer for myself and figured I'd share it for free.

It's a browser extension + Anki add-on. You review a question in UWorld or Bootcamp, click the extension icon, see the matching AnKing cards, and hit Add. The programs talk to each other directly - no copying, no pasting, no setup beyond installing both (browser extension + anki extension).

Only requirement: Anki desktop and your browser both need to be open at the same time.

Works with UWorld (auto-detects QID), Bootcamp (matches by lesson/topic), AnKing, and any other deck with QID tags. Supports separate targets for Step 1, Step 2, INBDE, etc. There's also a bulk tab if you want to paste all your missed QIDs at once after a block, but you're not forced to do that every time.

• Anki add-on: AnkiMaxer on AnkiWeb (need both the add-on and the extension)
• Chrome: AnkiMaxer on Chrome Web Store
• Safari: Under review — coming soon

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

I'm sure you have been there, needing a quick reminder of hypersensitivity types, and you pull up trusty google and this image appears.

But look closely at the Type II box. It shows a "Cytotoxic T cell" performing Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) by binding to an Fc receptor for IgG.

Classical CD8+ T cells don't have Fc receptors. They use their TCR for Type IV reactions. ADCC via Fc binding is the job of Natural Killer (NK) cells, macrophages, or neutrophils.

Am I crazy, or is this a massive error floating around for board prep and lecture slides?

Hello all! I'm a dental student and got tired of perio charting without an assistant. Our school doesn't have voice-charting software, so I was stuck either recording myself and replaying it later or scribbling on paper between probes.

It drove me nuts, so I taught myself to code and built an iOS app that does voice perio charting. You still need to enter the numbers into your school's perio software afterward, but I added a PDF export option too.

It's been working really well for me in clinic. Honestly the bigger win has been learning to actually build something - turns out "I'll just make it myself" is a viable response to being annoyed. I put it on the ios appstore so people can use it, check it out here: PerioMaxer on the App Store
