Brand Name Conversion
A simple add-on made for medical students heading into clinical rotations.
We learn medications by their generic names for Step and shelf exams, but on rotations many common drugs are referred to almost exclusively by their brand names.
This add-on helps bridge that gap by displaying the common brand name alongside the generic name during your normal Anki reviews.
ceftriaxone β ceftriaxone (Rocephin)
You keep seeing the generic name you need for exams while naturally building the connection to the name you'll hear in the hospital.
Features
- Only commonly used brand names included
- Original card text is not modified β text is added only to the review display.
