How are SAFMEDS cards generally formatted?

SAFMEDS cards are designed to promote rapid retrieval of information, making them a powerful tool for improving fluency in specific concepts or skills. The correct format includes a question presented on one side of the card and the corresponding answer on the reverse side. This format allows learners to self-test and engage in active recall, which enhances memory retention. The simplicity of this design encourages quick and efficient study sessions, as individuals can easily quiz themselves and track their progress over time.

The other formats mentioned do not align with the typical structure of SAFMEDS. Graphics may be helpful for learning but are not central to the SAFMEDS approach. Multiple-choice questions can provide useful assessments but do not facilitate the same level of active recall as question-and-answer cards. Finally, a checklist format does not support the goal of immediate retrieval and practice that SAFMEDS cards are specifically designed to address.
