If you’re a medical student in 2025, chances are your study group has three members:
You, your imposter syndrome, and ChatGPT.
We know.
We see you.
The truth is, even we—the people who built Medifries—use multiple resources.
We watch Zero to Finals.
We watch Geeky Medics videos.
We’ve absolutely used Passmed for clinical cases (sometimes while brushing our teeth).
And yes, we’ve whispered desperate questions into the AI void too.
Because here’s the reality:
There’s no perfect resource. There never will be.
What actually works is a good system...a system built from tools that complement each other, reinforce what you’re learning, and track your progress.
That’s where Medifries comes in.
Medifries is the glue.
It’s where your system lives.
Where your progress lives.
Where your understanding, not just your memory, gets tested.
Here’s how to integrate Medifries into your revision day-to-day:
Don’t start with cards or questions.
Pick a topic (e.g. Asthma). Open the Medifries textbook. Skim through the structured bullet points. We’ve made them clear, exam-aligned, and fast to digest. Some sections also include short embedded explainer videos . click them. They're there to light the spark and give you a map of what’s coming.
Think of it as your 5-minute “topic preview” so when you go deeper later, you’re not starting cold.
Now that you’ve read it, let it sink in with flashcards.
Our Medifries Anki deck is custom-built to match the textbook content. It’s not some random collection of facts — it mirrors the structure, tests the same clinical logic, and hits the same exam themes.
Set a daily target. 30 cards? 100 cards? Up to you.
🔁 Remember: repetition is the fuel of long-term memory but only if it’s structured.

We wrote one — [click here to read it].
If we’re being totally honest , and we always are, our clinical cases might feel familiar.
And that’s because they are.
They’re similar to what you’d find on other big names like the good old Passmed .. which, let’s face it, has been the emotional support website for thousands of students across the UK. And just so you know: every single one of us who worked on Medifries used Passmed at some point during med school. Multiple times. Daily. Under our duvets. While pretending to be “on a break.”
But here’s what we’re not doing:
We’re not copying it.
We’re competing with it.
And we’ve been working ridiculously hard to make our cases clearer, more clinically relevant, and — dare we say — actually enjoyable.
Now, we don’t know exactly how other websites generate their questions. Maybe they have a team of writers. Maybe it’s a squirrel on a typewriter. No idea.
But here’s how we do it at Medifries:
Step 2: OpenAI-assisted editing
The drafts are submitted to a third-party platform that integrates with the OpenAI API using authorised tokens. This platform uses machine learning models — regularly updated and aligned with current guidelines — to analyse and refine the structure, difficulty level, and clarity of each question. Because let’s be honest — no one has time for a paragraph that reads like it was written mid-panic attack.
Step 5: Final boss
Every final draft goes to the founder of Medifries, who (we say with love) is… not normal. They proofread questions late at night, eat dry cereal straight from the box, and whisper, “Make it trickier,” like some sort of MCQ crypt keeper. They’ve rejected perfectly fine questions just because distractors didn’t feel “psychologically challenging enough.” We’ve repeatedly asked them to take breaks. They refuse. They don’t go outside. They’re basically the human embodiment of Medifries. Yes, we worry too.
Note to our competitors:
If you’re reading this and thinking, “Nice system… maybe we’ll copy it.”
First of all — rude.
Second — please pretend you didn’t read any of that.
Seriously, who let the writer leak the entire workflow like this?
What is this, a revision blog or a how-to guide for competitors?
We’ll deal with them internally. They’ve lost admin rights.
Anyways. Onwards.
Don’t just glance at answers. Slow down, dissect explanations carefully. If something clicks from another resource (Geeky Medics, LITFL, or Zero to Finals), copy or summarise that insight directly into your Medifries notes.
Our platform makes this simple...highlight, annotate, and centralise your learning.
Revision means repetition. It’s painful but necessary. Go back to flashcards, retry cases, and keep testing yourself on weak points.
Medifries’ built-in Topic Confidence Indicator helps you track your genuine understanding. Rate topics honestly. If you're still unsure about a topic after three tries, flag it..then revisit.
Over time, you’ll create a clear map of strengths and weaknesses.
Medifries isn’t magic.
It won’t instantly transform your grades or your life.
But integrated correctly, combined with trusted resources, it’s the most powerful glue for your revision system. It clarifies, centralises, and amplifies your learning.
Stop chasing the perfect resource.
Start building your perfect system.
