How to Use Pimped

 

Getting Started

  • First, select the appropriate rotation.
  • Then choose “study” to use the flash card functionality or “cards” to review multiple cards at once.
  • In either view, you can choose all cards in your rotation set, or filter down to specific procedures or clinic topics to prepare for the day ahead.

Filtering overview

  • First, choose the tiers of difficulty you wish to include. you must choose at least one tier to continue.
    For example, if you click “hysterectomy” you will ONLY be shown questions relevant to hysterectomies.
  • The second page lets you select additional filters to limit by clinical topics or service.
    For example, to prep for a gynecologic oncology hysterectomy, you could either prep all hysterectomy questions or limit hysterectomy questions to those specifically relevant to oncology.

How to use the Study View

  • Once you’ve filtered the questions to include those you want to study, choose how many cards to include in the session and “Start Study!”.
  • After reading the question, tap when ready to reveal the answer.
    Rank how well you think you knew the answer on a scale of 1 to 5. The scale is important as it feeds the algorithm that personalizes the frequency with which cards repeat. This way, questions you know will appear less frequently, whereas questions you rated lower appear more frequently until their rating improves.
  • Favorite questions as you go.

How to use the Card View

  • The card view is intended for a quick review – you can filter as in the study view, or search for specific terms.
    Additionally, you can see your most recent rating, indicate if you’ve been pimped on a question, or submit question feedback.
