The five-part prompt

  1. 1Goal. Say what you're studying for and your level. "I'm an MS2 preparing for Step 1."
  2. 2Material. Paste your own notes, a missed question's reasoning, or a topic. Less is better than a whole textbook.
  3. 3Task. One clear job: quiz me, explain, find my pattern, build a schedule.
  4. 4Format. Say how you want it back: one question at a time, a table, three bullets.
  5. 5Check. Ask it to flag anything it is unsure of and name a reference to verify.

Verify before you trust it

  • Ask: "How confident are you, and what should I double-check?"
  • Check doses, thresholds, contraindications, and guidelines against a trusted source.
  • Ask for the strongest argument against the answer, then compare.
  • Run a high-stakes fact through a second AI tool or your course materials.
  • If it contradicts your lecture or textbook, your course materials win.

Never paste

  • Patient names, MRNs, dates of birth, or any detail that identifies a patient.
  • Licensed question-bank or exam content (UWorld, NBME, AMBOSS items).
  • Graded assessments or anything your course forbids AI for.
  • Anything you would use to make a real clinical decision.
