That&#8217;s when something unexpected popped up, it was an email asking if I wanted to test out a new AI tool by Elsevier, StudyFinderAI. I was immediately intrigued and two questions came to mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Would this <em>really<\/em> help me with my studies? (<em>Spoiler alert: it did!)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How is this different to any other tool on the market?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Studying <em>smarter<\/em> (not harder)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If I\u2019m being honest, passive learning was something I have been guilty of doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlighting notes. Rereading powerpoints. Cramming content before my tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to convince myself saying I remembered the content this time around (which was not true).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realised that what I needed was to truly interact with my material, and that\u2019s where StudyFinder AI helped me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>\u201c<em>test<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> feature in particular really helped me with this. I used to struggle with answering questions related to the brachial plexus. I felt like I knew it in theory, but struggled to apply my knowledge. That\u2019s when I decided to prompt the AI to provide questions related to brachial plexus injuries, where it gave the option for both clinical and preclinical questions with the particular difficulty I chose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/1_f4fb86.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/1_f4fb86.png 1920w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/1_f4fb86.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/1_f4fb86.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/1_f4fb86.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/1_f4fb86.png?resize=1536,864 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This really forced me to actually take a step back and think, apply, and retrieve my knowledge. I won\u2019t say this magically made me become perfect at understanding one of the most challenging topics of preclinical medicine, but I would say it did give me exposure to the nature of questions that may be asked in exams which in turn improved my confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also the type of person to learn from mistakes, which is why it was really helpful that explanations were given whether I got a question right or wrong. Extra resources were also provided so you\u2019ll never feel like you didn\u2019t understand what went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From lecture slides to <em>learning more<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Content in medical school is truly never-ending. Reviewing lectures can sometimes feel like a chore, especially when there\u2019s over 100 slides of small text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, lecture slides don\u2019t tell the whole story, which is understandable if the lecture has to be done within an hour. However, jumping into key facts and conclusions made me feel lost, where I always sought for why things are the way they are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why I found it really helpful to use the <strong>\u201cupload\u201d <\/strong>feature. This allowed me to input my lecture slides and notes, which the AI would help to extract the key concepts of the topic I was learning. For example, a lengthy topic like visual pathways would be split into digestible chunks of the optic nerve, optic tract, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/2.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/2.png 1920w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/2.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/2.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/2.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/2.png?resize=1536,864 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of simply summarising, it utilised the <strong>\u201clearn\u201d <\/strong>feature which helped me bridge the gaps in my knowledge by giving more context. Instead of simply knowing that an injury to a part of the brain caused a specific visual defect, I finally understood <em>why<\/em> this happened so I could apply it to questions in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/6.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/6.png 1920w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/6.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/6.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/6.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/6.png?resize=1536,864 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I think a lot of us are visual learners, so it was nice to have recommendations for relevant Osmosis videos, links to Complete Anatomy, or even imaging such as Xrays and CT scans. Sometimes this little addition was what I needed to properly solidify my understanding.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning on the wards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying the theory you learnt in a clinical setting is a challenging yet integral part of placements as a medical student. It\u2019s completely normal to \u201cknow\u201d the content but freeze when a doctor asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know we\u2019ve all had moments where we were asked a question on the ward and our mind just goes\u2026blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I definitely have, whether it was questions about anatomy, what tests to order, differential diagnoses, and the list goes on.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get better at this, I started using the <strong>\u201cpractice\u201d <\/strong>feature, where I would put in a condition I wanted to get better at understanding, and would get back a virtual case with real life examples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/4_2ad09a.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/4_2ad09a.png 1920w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/4_2ad09a.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/4_2ad09a.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/4_2ad09a.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/studenthub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/04\/4_2ad09a.png?resize=1536,864 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember my first time on the cardiac ward where I really struggled with remembering the drugs for heart failure. The first thing I did when I got home was input \u201cheart failure\u201d into the practice feature. It would test me on how to present a case to a clinician, the possible differentials, all the examinations I\u2019d conduct. It felt like I had clinical experience in my own bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albeit, I still made mistakes the next day when answering questions, but I did feel more confident in my ability to understand the investigations needed, and also taking a patient history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trusted sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A key part of medicine is evidence based learning which isn\u2019t guaranteed by a lot of AI tools. That\u2019s what stood out about StudyFinder; the AI bases itself off of trusted sources from Elsevier textbooks, as well as the NICE guidelines. The same kind of textbooks which are recommended by professors and lecturers throughout medical school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This meant that I wasn\u2019t dealing with the \u201cAI hallucination\u201d, or working with unverified information. Instead, the content aligned with the material we\u2019re expected to know and be assessed on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So\u2026did this help me study smarter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to study isn\u2019t something that I learnt overnight.
