From the makers of the Procedure Ready podcast series. We've developed a highly curated study aid to help medical, PA, and NP students excel when being pimped on the wards. There are few resources to help stressed students truly prepare for the experience of getting pimped, and the ones that exist are often scattered, out of date, and inconvenient. We wanted a study tool that was comprehensive, current, and most of all, convenient — so we created Procedure Ready. At the surface, Procedure Ready is a flashcard-based medical study app. Dig deeper, and you'll discover it's purpose-built to help you shine during clinical pimping, making one of medical education's most stressful and controversial practices child's play. • High-yield flashcards mapped to the questions you actually get asked on rounds • Spaced repetition that brings the cards you find hard back sooner and the easy ones later • Full offline study — your cards work anywhere, and your progress syncs the moment you're back online • Organized by rotation, from OB/GYN to Surgery to Emergency Medicine • Optional study reminders to help you keep your streak going And now, Procedure Ready is completely free.

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Procedure Ready holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lytes has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Lytes's written reviews are positive against 33% of Procedure Ready's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lytes ships an update every 3 months, Procedure Ready every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
