# AI USMLE Vignette Generator (Step 1 / Step 2 CK / Shelf)
> Free AI USMLE-style vignette generator for Step 1, Step 2 CK, and shelf prep. One high-yield vignette + five options + best-answer explanation + why-wrong breakdown + teaching point.

## Overview

The USMLE Vignette Generator produces a single Step-style vignette for any clinical topic, with a five-option answer set, the best answer with explanation, why-wrong rationales for the distractors, a high-yield teaching point, and references to the core board-prep resources (First Aid, UWorld topic area, NBME content outline). It is an educational tool that supplements official question banks; it does not replicate any specific NBME item.

## Who this is for

- Medical students preparing for Step 1, Step 2 CK, and shelf exams
- Residents reviewing board recertification topics
- Educators generating teaching-round vignettes

## FAQs

### Is this an official USMLE question?

No. The vignettes are educational analogues. Always supplement with NBME and UWorld practice exams for calibration.

### Can I customise the level?

Yes — specify Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 3, shelf, or in-training-exam level. The model adjusts depth and clinical specificity accordingly.

### How accurate are the explanations?

Explanations are grounded in standard board references. Verify against First Aid and UWorld; flag discrepancies through your residency or course coordinator.

### Will it generate multiple vignettes per request?

One vignette per request to keep output focused and high-quality. Run additional requests for a series.

### Is it useful for teaching rounds?

Yes — generate a vignette in advance, present without the answer, and use the why-wrong section to drive distractor analysis.
