Indian medical students are trained under the NMC’s Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum: more than 3,000 competencies across subjects and phases, each with its own learning objectives. The curriculum is precise. The way students study it is not.
When I started medical school, the difficulty was rarely a concept. It was finding my way: which competency a lecture belonged to, which chapter covered it, where the questions were, and whether I had actually finished it. The material was spread across textbooks, PDFs, lecture videos and group chats, and progress lived in a paper logbook that nobody could search.
SynRx is my attempt to fix that.
The idea
Most study tools start from content and ask what to add. SynRx starts from the curriculum and asks what it requires. Every page is anchored to an official competency code (AN1.1, for example), and everything a student needs for that competency is organised around it.
What it does
- Competency-first structure. Browse by subject, phase and code; every competency carries its learning objectives.
- A study assistant that knows the context. The AI is scoped to the competency being studied, so its answers stay within what the curriculum asks for.
- Three ways to study. A step-by-step Study path, high-yield Revision notes, and an Exam tomorrow checklist.
- A digital logbook. Completed competencies, subject-wise progress, streaks and daily activity, in place of paper.
- Mapped resources. Textbook references, lectures, MCQs and community notes, gathered for each competency.
Where it is going
SynRx does not replace textbooks or teachers; it organises the work around them. The longer-term aim is personalised learning pathways, competency-level analytics that are useful to institutions as well as students, and eventually a bridge from what students learn to how they practise.
Studying medicine is hard. Finding your way through it shouldn’t be.
