We are four medical students attending the University of Utah School of Medicine. We love Anki but found it very difficult to use at first. We originally made a few videos to help our classmates and eventually decided to keep making tutorials so we could share with all Anki users worldwide. The four of us are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and believe that serving others is what brings true happiness. We hope you enjoy everything we have put together for you! My name is Tyson Burnham. I'm a second-year medical student at the University of Utah. I am originally from Arizona but have lived in Utah for the better part of 8 years. I did my undergraduate studies in neuroscience at Brigham Young University. During my studies at BYU, I took 2 years off of school to serve a mission in Argentina for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I come from a family of physicians and have known since childhood I wanted to be a doctor. After medical school, I plan on pursuing a residency in Internal Medicine followed by additional training in Cardiology and Electrophysiology, but I understand that at this point in my career nothing is set in stone. I have always been passionate about mentorship and teaching, so when I had the opportunity to join the AnKing team, I jumped on it.
