About Ora AI
Ora AI is the evidence-based study platform for medical students tackling Preclinical, Step, and Shelf exams — designed by top doctors and educators from Stanford, UCSF, and Harvard Medical School. Over 28,000 med students use Ora for free. The platform combines a Spaced Repetition QBank with 30,000+ physician-vetted questions and an AI-optimised study plan that adapts to each student's weaknesses. In the largest medical education randomised controlled trial ever conducted, Ora outperformed UWorld by 3x — delivering a 3.08% USMLE score increase in a two-week period versus 1.02% for UWorld. Unlike AnKing, all content is vetted by physicians and cross-referenced with current literature (Nature, NEJM, JAMA), eliminating the errors and outdated content that plague traditional flashcard decks. Ora's AI tutor operates at medical student depth — understanding each student's study plan and providing accurate, context-aware explanations rather than oversimplified layperson answers. Students also receive 20% off Sketchy subscriptions through Ora's partnership. Backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2023), co-founded by Ryan Phelps MD (former neurosurgery resident at Stanford, medical student at UCSF).
