Three card formats.
One for every slide.
Image Occlusion, Cloze Deletion, Q&A. They look similar; they aren't. Match the format to the content and the cards do the work. Mismatch them and you waste review time. Here's how to decide.
Fastest to review
Image Occlusion
For diagrams, anatomy, and any slide that's mostly visual.
Image Occlusion is the fastest, most efficient card format for visual content. We take the original slide image, draw boxes over each key label, and let recall do the rest. You see the image; one label disappears; you remember the term. Simple, mechanical, fast — built for high-volume review where speed compounds.
Best applied to
- Anatomy — structures, bones, nerves, vasculature
- Histology and embryology slides
- Pharmacology mechanism diagrams
- Pathology and biochemistry tables
- Lab value grids and reference figures

Identify the occluded label
Left Atrium
Receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.
Deepest recall
Cloze Deletion
For dense, prose-style content with specific facts to memorize.
Cloze cards are fill-in-the-blank: a complete sentence with one or two strategic gaps. The format works best for high-yield textual content — mechanisms, drug class facts, sequence steps. Our team reads each slide, identifies what's testable, and writes phrasing that mirrors the way the concept is asked about in shelf exams and step questions. More effort per card; more durable recall.
Best applied to
- Mechanisms of action
- Drug class definitions and pharmacokinetics
- Pathophysiology step sequences
- Biochemical pathway facts
- Microbiology organism characteristics

Fill in the blank · Glycolysis
Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase to produce glucose-6-phosphate, consuming 1 ATP.
Clinical-style
Q&A Cards
Classic flashcard form. Best for clinical correlations.
Q&A is the traditional flashcard — a focused question on the front, a precise answer on the back. The format excels at clinical-style recall: the kind of content that surfaces on shelf exams and boards as a vignette with a single right answer. We write tight questions and exact answers — no vague hand-waving, no overly broad coverage.
Best applied to
- Clinical correlations
- High-yield facts in question form
- Two-sided recall content
- "Know this for the exam" moments
