Shelf -> EM -> No Dupes -> Step 2 Only Tag?

Hey guys,

I just started creating my study plan for step 2 before clerkships start in a couple months and I noticed that there was no hierarchy for EM such as:

tag:#AK_Step2_v12::!Shelf::EM::no_dupes::only_step2

Will this hierarchy ever be made, did I miss it, or do we just have to piece together other EM tags into 1 deck (e.g., tag:#AK_Step2_v12::#B&B::03_Emergency_Medicine, tag:#AK_Step2_v12::#Resources_by_rotation::EM, etc)?

Also, as a side note, which tags should we use for shelf prep, Resources by Rotation, !Shelf, a combination? Also, how is it determined whether cards from say, SketchyIM, get tagged under !Shelf → IM or Resources by Rotation → IM? Is it just whether the info is high yield or not?

Cheers!

Hello,

I’ll ask the team why this is the case and get back to you. You can use the one’s you mentioned below for EM for now

Regarding the tags, here are the explanations for each, they can be found in this post: 🏷️ What do all the tags mean in the AnKing Step Deck?

Many students use the !Shelf tag primarily. #resources_by_rotation has some overlap but also has some extra cards so if you can check to see what extra cards belong to that tag after unsuspending the shelf tag

So it turns out that not all schools make you do the EM shelf or EM rotation, hence why it isn’t a proper shelf tag. Also, there are a lot of overlapping concepts with the Shelf surgery tag as well.

We will look into potentially creating a tag for the EM shelf as it can be useful for students who have to take the EM shelf
