Will you remember it in two weeks?"},"content":{"rendered":"

An exam question. A patient in consultation. A doubt in full alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They ask you about the adverse effects of a GLP-1 agonist, and you know that you read about it. Two weeks ago, in a guide or in your notes. You remember that there was something gastrointestinal involved. You remember the general idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's not a lack of effort. It's just that reading and remembering are two different things, and almost everyone studies as if they were the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's why we created \u00abTest me\u00bb<\/strong>: Questions about any topic, to remember what you read and not just recognize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Type a topic in Itaca, for example \u00abSGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure,\u00bb and press \u00abTest me.\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itaca Investigate the topic, prepare an answer with your sources, and at some point, ask 5 questions about it. The questions are arranged from basic to advanced. Each question has its own explanation and sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Question
Each question indicates its level, and progress is visible (fictitious example).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Are you already using Evidencia?, the tool Itaca that answers clinical questions with sources<\/a>So it\u2019s even more direct: under each answer you have the \u00abTest me\u00bb button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who it is for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who needs to remember medicine, not just have read it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical students preparing for exams.<\/strong> Practice each topic in the syllabus right after studying it and do it again a few days before the midterm. The basic questions tell you if you have the foundation; the advanced ones, if you are ready for a clinical case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents and applicants for a specialty.<\/strong> If you are preparing for the residency exam or your specialty certification, practice on the topics of your program and repeat the ones you fail until they become easy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors who keep up to date.<\/strong> You\u2019ve read the update to a guide for your continuing medical education or recertification. Five questions tell you what you really left behind before applying it in the consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers and researchers.<\/strong> Before a class, a library session, or a presentation, make sure you understand the key points and find the nuances that your audience will ask about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clarification: \u00abPut me to the test\u00bb is not an official mock exam and does not earn continuing medical education credits. It is a short and frequent practice on the topics that matter to you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the interesting part: how he reacts when you make a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fail, but with the answer in front of you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you choose the wrong option. You will see your selected option highlighted and, right next to it, the correct one. Below, the explanation with its sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don't have to look later to see what you needed to know. It's right there, in the moment that matters most to you: when you just made a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that changes the outcome. A mistake that you understand immediately is one that you don't repeat in the exam, not even in front of a patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In open-ended questions, things aren't always black and white either. A partially correct answer gets partial credit, and the explanation tells you what was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An intermediate-level question about GLP-1 agonists (fictitious example):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What mechanism explains the early satiety that some people experience upon initiating an GLP-1 agonist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
