CrabsMcChaffey Light Year ENT Deck
r/medicalschoolanki - ENT Lightyear deck overhaul
I [Crabs McChaffey] originally overhauled the ENT light year deck in 2022 and have since updated it throughout my sub-I’s. It uses ENT Secrets by Scholes & Ramakrishnan and Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery: Clinical Reference Guide by Pasha as its primary resources. It also has cards associated with AAO Primary Care Otolaryngology.

Improved tagging
Made it Pretty
Basically every tag below that starts with “Crabs” is new
�� How to Use
Search “tag:Crabs::Index Deck” to see all of this information within Anki
The cards are not detailed enough that you can get away with doing them without reading the associated text. You will also may find it beneficial to supplement the material with Google and Amboss. Remember, Anki is a retention tool, not a learning tool. Buy and use the primary resources.
First time through (ie for your elective clerkship):
Not interested in a career in ENT. Read AAO Primary Care Otolaryngology and do the corresponding cards.
Interested in a career in ENT. Read AAO Primary Care Otolaryngology and do the corresponding cards. Read the chapter in ENT Secrets, then do the corresponding Anki cards by searching the tags as noted below.
Second time through (ie before/during sub-i/aways): read the corresponding sections of Pasha and the additional resources associated with each note (this will make more sense as you do the cards).
Additional resources include but are not limited to Iowa Protocols, Mayo Clinic Otolaryngology Surgical Atlas videos, and PubMed journal articles.
Before specific cases: unlock by the procedure tag, read the suggested text, and watch the Mayo Atlas videos on the procedure index card (see Procedures below). Then do the anki cards.
Residents: Read the corresponding sections of Pasha and then do the cards. Supplement with the Crabs::Procedures cards
�� Tags
I am making the assumption that you are familiar with the syntax that can be used to search for tags within Anki. If you are not, consult the Anki manual and/or the plethora of videos regarding searching for tags on the Anking YouTube channel.
Redundancy
If you use Anking, some of the cards will be duplicate information. In addition, some of the cards from the original Lightyear ENT deck are low yield. These cards are tagged tag:Crabs::duplicates_didnt_study
Extra anatomy
The original Lightyear ENT deck had some anatomy cards but if you want to study more cards then unlock the cards tagged with Crabs::extra_anatomy. It may be helpful to narrow the search with another tag. ex. tag:Crabs::Specialty::HeadandNeck tag:Crabs::extra_anatomy
Pimp Questions
Questions I was actually pimped on throughout my rotations. tag:Crabs::Pimped
By depth of Knowledge
Some of the concepts are more advanced/detailed and above what would be expected of you during a third year clerkship. Thus you can filter based on your level of experience.
For third year rotations use Crabs::Elective
For sub-i’s/aways study the Crabs::Sub-I in addition to the Elective cards
Before starting the relevant rotation on your sub-I: read ENT Secrets then create a filtered deck with the specialty, secrets tag, and extra anatomy. ex. (tag:Crabs::Specialty::Laryngology* tag:Secrets_ENT*) OR (tag:Crabs::Specialty::Laryngology* tag:Crabs::extra_anatomy*).
For residents use Crabs::Residency
By resource/subspecialty
All of the sections use the relevant chapters of ENT Secrets 2nd edition, AAO Primary Care Otolaryngology , and Pasha are included with additional information added in the extra section from The Handbook of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2nd edition by Goldenberg and Goldstein. You can search for the relevant text sections by using the Secrets_ENT**,** Crabs::AAOHNS_PrimaryCareOtolaryngology, or Crabs::Pasha tags. They are labeled with the same name as the book chapters. You can also search for tags based on subspecialty by using Crabs::”name of subspecialty”. The section headings below are the names of the subspecialty and listed in the order they appear in ENT Secrets. Additional resources are briefly summarized in the relevant extra section of each note and the URL is provided for a deeper dive. To see all of the resources I found useful during medical school, use Crabs::Resources

By Procedure
Use Crabs::Procedures* to find cards for specific ENT operations. These cards include background information, pertinent anatomy, indications, complications, alternative management, and procedure steps. There are also links to relevant videos in the Mayo Surgical Video Atlas. Use these cards after reading the relevant chapters in a textbook such as Operative Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery by Myers or Cummings Otolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery by Flint. You can access them online through your school’s library at www.clinicalkey.com. Remember, Anki is a retention tool, not a learning tool. I included the relevant extra_anatomy tags to the relevant procedures. By tagging this way, I tried to ensure that you would see all of the relevant anatomy, regardless of which procedure tag you started with. This means there is overlap for the anatomy between procedures (ex laryngeal anatomy is covered in total laryngectomy and partial laryngectomy). If this ends up being too many cards or you are already comfortable with the anatomy then add -tag:Crabs::extra_anatomy* to your search. ex. tag:Crabs::Procedures::EndoscopicSinusSurgery* -tag:Crabs::extra_anatomy*. If you previously unsuspended the anatomy cards, you may not see them again when you are studying for a case. To remedy this, I recommend creating a filtered deck using the procedure tag, Crabs::extra_anatomy, and Crabs::duplicates_didnt_study in order to make sure you see all of the relevant cards again before you go into the OR. This will keep the anatomy at the top of your mind. To just see the summary section with the recommend readings, videos, and bullet points (to cram on your phone right before a case). Search for the procedure tag with tag:Crabs::Index. You can also find PDF’s of all of the procedures at this link. You can import them into your favorite notes app.
