Matt,
Thank you for commenting. I’ve put the cards on pause for now. As I commented above, I have the files, but I don’t know whether I paraphrased things or read any text directly, which could be construed as copyright infringement. I’m in the slow process of going through them and transcribing them. If you are interested in seeing the ones I’ve typed so far (less than 200 of 1,400 so far) you can read them at www.ophthodeck.com. I’ll eventually get around to rerecording them back into audiofiles.

This is really a good way to study, and other residents at my old program found it useful as you can randomly shuffle the files and listen to them on your ipod. Here’s the system I use:

1. Record short audio question/answers onto a digitial recorder. I used an inexpensive one from Olympus which saved the files as wma files with sequential numbers.

2. Import the files into itunes in batches, with conversion to mp3 file during import to itunes.

3. Hilight all the new files within iTunes and choose “get info” to change the id3 tags all at once. This allows me to tag them as retina, cornea, etc..

I’ve recorded about 1,400 files for OKAP review, and another 2,000 when I was prepping for USMLE3. Other residents in my program recorded 600 of them. They are most useful when you record your own, so I recommend trying this study technique. I’ll email you when I republish the files … may be 6 months, though.
