Welcome to our psychiatry flashcards! Understanding is paramount, but unfortunately, one aspect of academic success does rely on simple memorization and repetition. In our new Neurology flashcards feature, we have taken the most commonly seen rote memory topics and “buzzwords” from RITE* exams and neurology boards, and made easy to use flashcards. These work on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.
