If you’re like me, you’ve probably wished you could jot something down right on the page when reading a clinical resource—something like “remember to ask for ESR in unexplained fevers” or “Dr. Smith prefers ceftriaxone here.” With FP Notebook, you actually can.
One of the most underrated features in FP Notebook is the ability to add personal notes to any article in the app. These aren’t general annotations that float somewhere else—they’re tied to the exact clinical entry you were reading when inspiration (or an attending’s advice) struck. Think of it like writing in the margins, but without defacing a textbook.
And it’s incredibly easy to use.
How to Add Your Own Notes:
-
Navigate to any clinical page in FP Notebook.
-
Tap the three-dot menu in the lower right corner.
-
Select the Notes icon (a small pen and paper).
-
Type out your note—whether it’s a key takeaway, an attending’s pearl, a lab to order, or even a date of last review.
-
Hit Save, and you’re done!
Bonus: You can color-code your notes for even more organization. Want to make red your “urgent must-remember” notes? Go for it.
This feature is especially helpful for:
-
Students adding study tips or mnemonics
-
Residents noting local hospital protocols
-
Practicing clinicians recording pearls from cases or consults
Your notes are private and stored locally (or synced, depending on your setup), so no one else will see them. And they stay linked to the exact article—so the next time you return, your insights are right where you left them.
In short: FP Notebook isn’t just a reference—it’s a living notebook, and the Notes feature helps you make it your own.
