What are StudyFinder AI learning modes?

StudyFinder AI offers several different learning modes to suit your needs at different stages of training. Set your training level between pre-clinical, clinical, or both!

• Learn – ask any question and adjust the depth of knowledge you need for quick overview.
• Revise – generate high-yield facts based on the topic to improve your understanding
• Test – generate clinician written MCQ’s tailored to your prompt
• Practice – simulates real OSCE-style clinical assessments
• Upload – synthesise your own notes or course plans

Example Prompt using StudyFinder AI

Explore an example prompt using StudyFinder AI to explain types of stroke all in one place. Something that would have otherwise required shifting between multiple websites and study resources.

Studyfinder AI responses include:

• visual overviews (2D/3D images)
• comparison tables covering presentation, diagnosis, and management
• Cited sources and locally based clinical guidelines
• follow-up with another query to drill deeper on specific topic

3 reasons why you can trust StudyFinder AI over tools like ChatGPT

1. Responses drawn exclusively from textbooks and scholarly sources with citations you can verify.
2. StudyFinder AI will push back on incorrect reasoning unlike other AI tools that tend to agree with you even if the concept is wrong.
3. There is no need to cross-reference elsewhere since the information is trustworthy and presented with references, guidelines, and visuals all in one place.

Tips for using AI to study as a first-year student

1. Always check your sources: Studyfinder AI pulls only from evidence-based resources, but when using other AI tools always verify the information.
2. Be specific with your prompts: type exactly what you want to know, vague prompts give vague answers.
3. Check local guidelines: always be sure to cross-reference local guidelines to familiarize yourself; that’s what you’ll be assessed on in exams
4. Don’t trust AI 100%: Use AI as a starting point, not the final word.
