How AI Tools Improved My Memory: From Struggling with Drug Names to Acing Board Exams

As an oncologist who's taken 16+ medical exams, I've discovered a game-changing approach to memorizing complex medical information using AI tools like ChatGPT and image generators. In this video, I share exactly how I went from struggling with drug names and mechanisms to creating powerful visual mnemonics that stick.

🔬 What You'll Learn:
How to use AI to create memorable mnemonics for difficult drug names
Why asking for text-based memory aids BEFORE images is crucial
Real examples: Tenosynovial giant cell tumor treatments (Pexidartinib & Vimseltinib)
Drug metabolism tricks: Topotecan vs Irinotecan memory aids
Step-by-step process for integrating AI-generated memory aids into flashcards

⚡ Key Takeaways:
Don't ask AI for images immediately - start with brainstorming
Funny, nonsensical images improve recall significantly
AI can reveal connections you never noticed (like drug metabolism patterns)
Perfect for medical students, residents, and practicing physicians

Whether you're preparing for USMLE, MCCQE, or specialty board exams, these AI-powered memory techniques will transform how you study and retain medical knowledge.

Tools mentioned: Anki, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and other AI image generators
