The science of learning has become a lot more popular in the past few years than when I was a student. Contemporary medical students utilize spaced repetition algorithms for their Anki flashcard decks, enjoy high-quality question banks, watch videos at 2x speed, and drill with picture-based mnemonic tools like Sketchy Medical. These techniques have minimal overlap with the medical school of even fifteen years ago (in-person lectures, books, repeat).

Background: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of mortality in trauma patients. Interventions such as early application of hemorrhage control, tranexamic acid, reduction of crystalloid fluid administration and balanced ratio blood product transfusion have improved many patients’ outcomes. However, mortality still remains high due to trauma-induced coagulopathy.
