The aim of this pilot study is to describe the implementation of UroAnki and to provide preliminary data on its adoption and impact on junior resident education. METHODS: In May 2022, Urology faculty and residents adapted Pocket Guide to Urology into a digital flashcard deck that tests common clinical scenarios junior residents are expected to evaluate and manage. Users were surveyed 3 months after implementation regarding usage patterns, perceived impact on self-efficacy, and feedback on areas of improvement. RESULTS: 227 out of 1169 (19.4%) UroAnki users responded to the survey, of which 114 (50%) identified as junior residents (PGY1-3). 89% of junior residents reported using UroAnki in the preceding month, with 62% reporting at least once a week usage. After studying the UroAnki cards, a majority of junior residents reported feeling better prepared for their clinical responsibilities (75%), on-the-spot questions posed by senior residents and faculty (83%), and the Urology in-service exam (66%) (Figure 1a). 80% of junior residents reported that studying UroAnki cards reduced stress and anxiety levels regarding building their fund of clinical knowledge (Figure 1a). Junior residents also ranked UroAnki as the most valuable resource for learning the fundamentals of Urology as compared to other commonly used educational resources (Figure 1b). CONCLUSIONS: UroAnki has been broadly adopted by Urology trainees. Among junior residents, UroAnki improved perceived self-efficacy, reduced stress and anxiety levels, and was ranked the most valuable resource for learning the fundamentals of Urology.
