generate_flash_cards.py
-----------------------
Tool for generating educational flash cards for medical topics.
This tool creates flash card style educational content to help with memorization and
quick review of key medical concepts, facts, and clinical pearls.
Key Features:
- Creates front/back flash card format
- Generates multiple cards per topic
- Includes mnemonics and memory aids
- Covers key facts, clinical pearls, and high-yield information
- Organizes cards by difficulty and subtopic
