Note: In starting Step prep, I’ve found that CVR is one of my weakest areas. I think part of it is that physiology doesn’t lend itself well to flashcards/memorization. I don’t want this deck to feel like an added stressor on top of a long unit (with lots of third party videos), so if you find yourself choosing between understanding vs. keeping up with Anki, I would choose understanding. I’ll continue to upload cards, just wanted to be transparent
