About Dr. Mira
A resident sharing what actually works โ not textbook theory, but real exam experience from inside anesthesia training.
Why I started this site
When I started preparing for my qualifying departmental exam, I spent weeks trying to figure out which resources were actually worth my time and money. The internet was full of generic medical study advice that had nothing to do with anesthesia.
So I started documenting what actually worked โ which question banks matched the exam style, which textbooks to use, and how to build an Anki deck that survives spaced repetition without burning out.
This site is the resource I wish I had when I started.
My credentials
My study philosophy
Active recall over passive reading. Spaced repetition over cramming. High-yield focus over reading every page. And always understanding the clinical why โ not just memorising for the exam, but connecting it to what happens in the operating room.
