In today's medical landscape, rapidly learning vast amounts of information requires innovative learning methods. Spaced repetition tools (like Anki) aid efficient knowledge absorption and retention among medical trainees. Yet, adoption of these tools in radiology medical student education lags despite proven effectiveness. This manuscript highlights spaced repetition as a learning tool alongside other evidence-based educational practices, aiming to revolutionize radiology education among medical students. We 1) describe the educational theory and current application of spaced repetition in the setting of other learning techniques often found in undergraduate medical education; 2) underscore the underutilization of tools such as Anki in radiology education; and 3) offer practical guidance for educators interested in integrating spaced repetition methodologies into their teaching methodologies.

The status of radiology exams impacts the flow of patients through the emergency department (ED). Yet, this information is not readily available to ED physicians, nurses, and staff (ED staff) or patients.
