I love the fact that Amboss has study plans that correlates with all the important medical examinations. The information they test you on really aligns withe the subject matter. Yes, it is challenging but that is good. I love the green overlay when it comes to radiology or histology. It helps put everything together and let me focus on what's important or what patterns I should look for. The set up with Anki is also an amazing feature. As I'm doing my anki cards, I can also click into Amboss to read more and then I can do questions based on the anki cards I just completed. Amboss is a one stop shop. You will learn a lot throughout your entire medical journey. The Clinician tab is also great for those who are in third year to learn how to manage certain common conditions. They even show videos on common procedures and a checklist. I think it is a tool M3 can use, in conjunction with their student section, which is top tier. When I do Amboss questions and then transition to Uworld, I know so much more. They really compliment one another and I am glad that I use Amboss. They also have a Step 1 and Step 2 exams that students can take as well during Feb or April. Another new feature is listing all the exams you have taken and see if you are ready for Step 1 or Step 2. Their articles are also top tier and can be used to highlight important and high yield information. Amboss shouldn't be what students want, but what students need. It is a great learning question bank that is very encompassing and include all elements of learning. They are a top notch resource and I hope Loyola pays for students to have access to this amazing learning tool.

AMBOSS provides excellent context articles that supplement my course materials, and it is phenomenal to be able to test my knowledge in real time after reviewing the material. The tables and images provided are of superior quality for studying and synthesizing information, and the most valuable part of AMBOSS that I've found is the AMBOSS Anki add-on! I use the add-on as a reference tool for various topics as I study my Anki cards. AMBOSS has been an invaluable tool to support my preclinical education, and I look forward to continue to use AMBOSS throughout my medical education!

The questions and explanations do a very good reinforcing important concepts that will show up on shelf exams. Their hints also help guide us to what we think the answer will be. The articles do a great job summarizing what we need to know for both boards and in our clinical rotations. I always refer to Amboss in my rotations when I need to look up something quickly.

I decided to use AMBOSS as my primary means of shelf preparation and have not been disappointed. I have consistently scored above average on all my shelf exams and know a large part of that is due to AMBOSS's wonderful platform. I believe a solid content foundation is key to succeeding on shelf exams and AMBOSS does that better than any other resource.

AMBOSS has been an absolute game-changer in medical school. I'm a religious Anki user and the AMBOSS add-on provides a new dimension of understanding to elevate Anki above simple repetition. I've found that my test scores have increased and my retention has skyrocketed. Throughout my first year, it was my favorite QBank by far, not only for the quality of the questions and explanations but also for the integrated platform where I can choose questions based off of the article I'm currently reading or read an article based off of the questions I missed!

Great reference, I use it every day in clinic to look up conditions/treatments or details I forget. Love the way everything is broken down into clinical features, diagnostics, treatments, and differentials. Excellent tool not only in studying for Step but also in 3rd year clinicals! Highly recommend.

AMBOSS is one of the most comprehensive resources. The integration of Osmosis videos further increases the value of this resource. The practice questions is also something that is extremely valuable.

Absolutely amazing resource. This in conjunction with Anki has proven enormously powerful in my learning of medical material!

AMBOSS has been an incredible resource for me during my first year of medical school! The platform is easy to navigate, provides high-yield information, and is my number one study tool! The study plans keep me on track with studying and help me to feel as prepared as possible for all of my exams. I recommend this platform to any and all medical students!

Such an incredible resource both for studying and for looking up information on the fly while in the hospital trying to remember important things about disease x. I don't carry around and reference a textbook; I have Amboss in my pocket!

There's nothing comparable to AMBOSS. First, you have the world class questions that challenge your thinking and decision making progress that will more than adequately prep you for any major exam (Step 1/2, Level 1/2, or any Shelf Exam).

Amboss is an amazing, comprehensive, and reliable resource for preclinical, clinical, and clinician use. Helped me so much throughout my career.

The new AMBOSS translation to Spanish is such an important and amazing feature!! I loved AMBOSS before, but this extra feature just made me proud to support such a progressive company.

Amboss changed the game and my only wish was that I started using it sooner! Once I started incorporating Amboss into my studying for Step 1, my scores started drastically improving. I've been using Amboss to study from Day 1 of clinicals and my shelf scores have blown any other performance out of the water so far. I only wish I had started during my M1 year!

Early in my M2 year I decided to begin prep and wanted to get a solid Q bank. I was between AMBOSS and UWorld and ultimately decided on AMBOSS because of the Anki add on. I have heard that AMBOSS and UWorld are both considered gold standard W banks, so the fact that AMBOSS has this add on was the deciding factor in my decision. I obviously haven't taken Step 1 and COMLEX yet, but I feel like I am currently progressing well and should be very well prepared when test day comes. So I am very thankful to have access to resources like yours.

AMBOSS is a truly invaluable resource for any medical student. Not only does the Qbank contain some of the best questions of any available resource with some of the best explanations and medical reasonings, the article library and Anki integrations make learning and reviewing new information incredibly easy and organized. The Study Plans available for the Qbanks are also excellent ways to stay on top of content and keep things fresh. I recommend AMBOSS at every opportunity for any medical student looking to take their medical education to the next level.

AMBOSS had been so helpful for me when I study using Anki. If I ever need a definition for a term within the Anki card its as simple as hovering over that card with my mouse and a concise, coherent and extremely helpful AMBOSS definition pops up. Plus it's easy to tell which terms have definitions and which don't because the ones that do are underlined in AMBOSS green. Furthermore if I need even more clarification on the term I know exactly where to go in AMBOSS and can find out what I want to know within minutes. All in all AMBOSS makes the whole process of using Anki much more beneficial and effective.

I cannot have high enough praise for Amboss. From my first year of medical school I began using Anki but I wish I had taken advantage of using Amboss much earlier than I did. Through it's smooth integration with Anki I have saved so much time. Instead of googling something I might be confused about I can just easily select the term and access the Amboss library to get a thorough explanation with diagrams. It has exponentially increased my productivity. Now in second year I have started using the Qbank which has highly detailed explanations and examples. The questions are very difficult and really force you to integrate all the concepts you will need for passing STEP 1.

I started using AMBOSS after Step 1 to help me prepare for my clerkships and Step 2. The ability to have a single streamlined, concise, and up to date resource to look up diagnostic information as well as treatment options helped me honor the majority of my third year clerkships. I ended up matching at my first choice in residency due to what I believe was my performance during my clerkships. I continue to use AMBOSS daily as I am in my intern year and it has become a staple of my clinical care. I would highly recommend AMBOSS to any medical student or resident looking for an all encompassing resource to aid in not only the treatment of patients but also the continued refinement of one's medical knowledge.

This literally saved me from repeating the STEP 3. It got me a residency position. It's better than firecracker and first aid, and rightly deserves to be known in all medical schools as its own primary source. Thank you, AMBOSS.

There are so many things I love about Amboss! To keep it brief, the “Knowledge” app, which is a library of topics separate from the question bank, allows me to build a knowledge base and read about my weak areas before I start doing questions. I also really like the High-Yield feature, for when I start to feel bogged down in details. The platform is well organized and makes me feel like I can go to one reliable and comprehensive place for all my studying rather than jumping between sources

AMBOSS is great! I needed to see a patient today to evaluate a probable CN III palsy and was totally at a loss for what clinical manifestations to expect. The Learning Card was a perfect quick reference before I walked in to perform an examination—I was able to impress the attending!!

AMBOSS is a gold mine! The AMBOSS library has never let me down! It is extrmely vast, detailed, easy to maneuver, and organized!! I have pinned an AMBOSS tab on my computer to have it open at all times and routinely open the app on my phone. It makes scrolling through large amounts of information much easier than something like UpToDate. I have even recommended the app to physicians to help stay on top of their patients' care! The Anki app is incredible!

Amboss has helped me tremendously with my shelf studying. There is no other qbank that provides in-depth explanations and guides you to what is important in the question stem. The library is so expansive that I was able to focus just on that for any additional help. My clinical knowledge continues to grow as I use this resource.

The AMBOSS add-on for Anki is an absolute game-changer. Most medical schools use pre-made class decks or a combination of that with Anking and having the ability to just hover over any medical term or condition and have a dropdown explanation appear inside anki is amazing.
