#MEAction is excited to announce that the Anki Flashcards we created about ME/CFS and infection-associated diseases have been recommended by CDC on its new ME/CFS page for medical students! Anki flashcards are a digital learning tool used by medical students to retain medical knowledge.
The deck was created for our #TeachMETreatME campaign with #MEAction Georgia volunteers, #MEAction staff and expert clinician reviewers, and features insightful and crucial information about infection-associated chronic conditions, including ME/CFS, Long COVID, POTS, hEDS, MCAS, and more!
We will be creating a Reddit post Monday, February 24th, 12pm – 5pm EST, where we’ll address questions from the medical student community with our Scientific Director, Jaime Seltzer, Erin Lee, the project lead, and our clinician reviewers as well.

This Anki deck represents an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by infection-associated chronic illness. Participating in our Reddit Q&A session will help inform the medical students who will someday become our newest expert clinicians.
Thank you for all YOU do to ensure that medical students and providers stay up-to-date!
