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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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).

App is very convenient and gives succinct background info on diseases and relevant information about treatment without getting into nitty gritty details (vs up to date which is helpful but has way too many details to scroll though for a quick search).

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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!!

I am an avid user of AMBOSS, and I credit my STEP1 score (>260) in a major way to the thorough but succinct knowledge bank designed for the medical student and the question bank providing a unique style of questions designed at probing understanding and specific knowledge. On the wards, the knowledge bank has been immensely helpful in digesting new concepts and applying them to patient care and the question bank continues to be very helpful for shelf examinations in particular.

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.

I feel like it's a comprehensive and trustworthy resource and it has prepared me well for all of my school's internal exams.

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.

This is awesome! I just tried it out on a couple of questions, and it’s SUPER easy to navigate. I can imagine this feature saving me hours of typing in different keywords to unlock all the relevant cards per each question.

I have become almost completely reliant on Amboss knowledge bank and question banks during preclinicals. It is the closest to our in-class material, including some of the really low-yield stuff that other resources to not cover. All of my friends have bought subscriptions after doing some questions together a long time ago and I have grown to trust Amboss as a primary source interchangeable with UpToDate. I really appreciate the inclusion of low yield material in the knowledge bank because our med school loves to test us on the obscure things that are not in first aid or UWorld. Expansion of the Qbank to include more low yield topics that are filterable would be awesome for future pre-clinical students. There is no way to get everything but every disease process amboss has that the others do not have is great justification to spend the extra money.
