Students from med schools across the nation use AMBOSS daily — and love it! Find out why, below

I found AMBOSS to be super helpful in the pre-clinical phase as a source of extra practice questions and easy-to-digest articles I topics that I had a bit more trouble understanding. That being said, as I transitioned to clerkships, I thought the utility of AMBOSS greatly increased. I think the clerkship-specific study guides have been essential to my success on rotations thus far since they provide a great framework for the important topics to focus on and curate questions to facilitate understanding. I use AMBOSS nearly everyday to refresh myself on a topic while pre-rounding, look up articles after rounds, and then use the study guide when I get home.

AMBOSS has helped me tremendously during both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of medical school. During Phase 1, their question banks were incredibly helpful to prepare for exams; their articles and links to additional outside resources made researching for PaCE cases enjoyable and the material more digestible; and using their articles to supplement lecture information made a huge difference when it came to grasping the material. It was incredibly helpful to have a reliable source, such as AMBOSS, during didactics, given that we're just starting to learn medicine and cannot always decipher between what is reliable versus what is not during the beginning of that process.During Phase 2, I can honestly say there has not been a day that has gone by that I have not utilized AMBOSS. When pre-charting on patients, I can use AMBOSS as a supplemental learning tool to revisit many of the disease processes that we learned in Phase 1 and refresh my memory. When studying for shelf exams, I have used their articles and question banks several times as study resources.While I haven't started Phase 3 yet, given how much I have utilized AMBOSS in Phase 2, I see myself continuing to use their resources to study for Step exams and during my sub-I rotations.

Amboss was such a great resource. I liked the student geared learning and used it more than i used up to date

I have used AMBOSS during all four years of medical school. In pre-clerkship years, the articles and question banks helped me to learn and solidify concepts. During my clerkship years, AMBOSS was super helpful during rotations. There is a clinician option that allows you to see treatment plans and labs needed for diagnoses while on rounds. I used AMBOSS primarily for shelf-studying and for STEP 2. They have specific study plans for all clerkships and STEP 2, which helped me to excel in all my exams.

Amboss is set up in a way that makes relevant information easily accessible. I use the knowledge app frequently while on rounds. I love that practice questions are now linked to anki cards which I use daily.

It help me both prepare for rotations and fill me in on clinical knowledge during rotations. During my first and second years, I also used it as a source of practice questions.

Good additional practice for Step exams as well as brief clinical reference. The more difficult questions helped improve thought process by demanding intricate knowledge of the material

AMBOSS was without a doubt a key element to my success in PBL. Not only do the articles allow quick access to key information during the PBL sessions, but the ability to open board-style questions pertaining to the article was an unbeatable functionality. I worked through the entire AMBOSS q-bank prior to taking COMLEX, including the OMM questions, and while AMBOSS questions are difficult, they prepared me to focus on key words, have deep knowledge of the subject, to be ready to tackle any questions thrown at me on test day. AMBOSS integration with Anki (a free resource I would say 90% of students use at LECOM) is top-tier and allows students to do questions from flashcards they make, do questions tailored specifically to flashcard concepts they're struggling with. Specifically to OMM ,though applicable to every discipline, they make easy to understand charts/graphics/articles about various OMM topics; I used it frequently for counter-strain and cranial! Now on clinical rotations, I still use AMBOSS everyday, its ability to locate key articles with all the information I need has helped me tremendously on formulating patient care plans, preparing for rounds, and getting ready for shelf exams. Not only that AMBOSS specifically makes q-bank sets for each shelf and discipline for both COMLEXI/COMLEXII and the USMLE exams.

AMBOSS is far more superior in terms of coverage of material compared to other resources. AMBOSS has better supporting images, histology with descriptions (key at our histo heavy school), and one of the best Qbanks. For those who use anki, its anki add-on makes reviews so much easier. For those who do not use anki, the ability to search an article, reduce the info to 'high-yield' material and give it a quick read is just as key. You can then test your knowledge with the questions integrated right into the article.

Amboss provides an incredibly consistent and extensive product to study, in both clinical and non clinical years. From the library to qbank, amboss is able to both teach material and assess if students are retaining information. The tools provided are great from dividing the large amounts of info and learning in a controlled, calm manner.

I find it helpful that there are easy to understand bulleted lists highlighting key concepts related to pathophysiology, diagnostics, symptoms, and treatments. It is a very helpful form of medical Google.

I love how easy it is to find material, especially when it is directly linked to Anki!

how neatly the information is organized; it's so much easier to jump on amboss and find a well-organized set of information instead of sifting through other resources

The interface is wonderful. It truly allows you to learn from questions (e.g. being able to guess until you get the question correct).

The breadth of information and depth of concepts is incomparable

I love the Anki attachment!

It has all the information I have needed so far in one place. No need to google something when Amboss will have it with a more medically-accurate explanation and everything we need to know about it. It has saved me a lot of time and I use it so often.

Clinical vignettes, diagrams especially histology, complex practice and questions and tips, integration with Anki makes very efficient to use in work flow

Being able to see new practice questions and look up any medical information that I need in the knowledge app. This is especially useful in rotations and in my daily life.

I love the interface for studying. There are different difficulty levels for questions, easy to read definitions, clear diagrams, and very expansive explanations for incorrect answers. I also love the Anki add-on for quick definitions/explanations. It is helpful that the website includes both the question bank and resources/articles in one website/app. It is also better priced than UWorld

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.

The explanations and algorithms for work up and treatment

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!

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!
