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

AMBOSS has been incredibly helpful as I studied through my first year and as I have begun studying in my second year. I find the Anki add-on to be one of the best ways to integrate active studying with my cards and the suggested AMBOSS questions based off mature card topics are fantastic. The summer crash course was also a great refresh and intro for many topics that will be on STEP 1.

AMBOSS is a really great study platform. I love the Anki add-on feature because it allows me to easily click on a topic to find out more information and quiz myself on that topic. I also really like the feature that allows me to create questions based on different Anki decks and my mature cards. The overlay feature for images is another great feature because I can quiz myself on anatomy. Another great feature is the breakdown of questions and answers with hyperlinks that can provide all the additional information that I need for a particular topic.

I have found the AMBOSS platform to be an amazing asset for a medical student. I equate it to a Google search for medical school. It has everything one can want and need to know about any medical topic. An extremely extensive library. The interface is very user-friendly. The option to show only high yield information is very helpful allowing you to get a quick glimpse of important information. AMBOSS has been amazingly helpful for learning new terms or reviewing and refreshing on previous learned topics. It is very easy and smooth to switch between different topics. The platform is a great asset for clerkships, including drug information, calculators, flowcharts and guidelines for many different fields. They have a great qbank to help reinforce the material and prepare for in-house and STEP exams. This is an amazing all-in-one package for any med student and clinician. I am so grateful I got it. It has been exactly the thing I have been looking for to help me through the medical journey. THANK YOU!I gained immensely from the AMBOSS platform in preparation for the exam. I felt comfortable throughout the questions on the exam having seen the concepts throughout the practice questions on AMBOSS. Thank you for all the effort put into creating and maintaining an amazing platform!

AMBOSS is the keystone of my medical knowledge. It is used as a tool to verify medical information and to test my understanding of clinical concepts. The practice questions often require several steps to solve, which was initially daunting, but trained me to more quickly and effectively break down questions for my boards prep and COM exams.

Amboss has truly helped me improve and excel in my pre-clinical courses. I noticed a huge improvement in my confidence and test scores after using the question banks, diagrams, and videos! The platform was easy to understand and I loved using the study plans to prepare for Step 1.

Though some classmates had warned me that AMBOSS is too advanced for year one of preclinical sciences, I feel purchasing my subscription was instrumental to my success in medical school thus far. My absolute favorite part about AMBOSS is the management of difficulty levels in the question bank. The hammer system has gave me the opportunity to fine-tune practice questions to align with my lectures and studying and allowed me to create practice quizzes for myself that were relevant to learning objectives from my house lectures. AMBOSS is unique to other resources that I have used for that reason alone. It isn't the only one to allow you to pick from certain disciplines and topics while configuring practice questions, but it is the only one that incorporates question difficulty which I believe is key to maintaining focus and not getting discouraged. Either way, I learn something new! The seamless integration of the knowledge library helps me to review a topic with just a click, and the articles are thorough enough that I usually don't have to refer to my lecture notes or textbooks if I needed a clarification with a question. The AMBOSS library has proven to be an invaluable resource for small group sessions and while using ANKI and it is always open in another window when I am taking notes or completing practice questions from another source. Not only do I appreciate how much the library encompasses, but it also gives me back something incredible - time! I've saved so much time thanks to the AMBOSS library's articles being integrated in everything I use.

AMBOSS was an excellent resource to help me crush STEP 1 and my surgery/neuro shelf exams. The attached library and user-friendly interface greatly streamlined the studying process for me, as I could quickly search up terms I was unfamiliar with or needed a refresher on!

Our curriculum at our school is very case based and heavily encourages self-directed learning. This means that we are assigned a couple of cases relevant to the topic of the week and we are responsible for thoroughly researching the condition. This includes clinical presentation, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatments, prognosis, etc. Other resources such as Uptodate and Dynamed are good, but are quite dense and difficult to grasp. I learned of AMBOSS from a friend and have never since looked back. Its user interface is as easy to use as wikipedia and it has information that is far more reliable. The breakdown of each condition into specific categories (summary, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, etc) keeps the information relevant and well outlined. I also think that the hover-over option for certain underlined key terms is quite useful. It's nice to get a brief synopsis of what the term means rather than having to navigate to a whole other page just to get a quick definition.I'm currently still exploring the board prep questions at the moment so I don't have a formed opinion on it yet.

AMBOSS is a great tool to use for board prep and studying. It comes in handy as a reference manual as well for rounds during rotations. The app is compatible for both phones and ipads and super helpful for quick access during rotations.

Amboss has been a huge help studying for shelf exams over the past year. The amboss qbank has hundreds (sometimes thousands) of questions for each shelf and the study plan mode allows you to create a plan to complete all the questions prior to the exam. The anki add-on is a huger life safer, as you can quickly look up more information in the amboss knowledge bank, take a look at the helpful video or pictorial illustrations, or analyze the work-up of a condition with their many flow diagrams.

I'm an MD/PhD student returning to 3rd year after finishing my PhD. Because it's been five years since I've seen patients, I wanted a study resource that would help me review preclinical material efficiently while also preparing me for 3rd year. AMBOSS knowledge articles allow me to quickly review physiology or pharmacology more efficiently than I could by reviewing my 1st and 2nd year textbooks. And while doing practice questions for my shelf exams, it points me to articles and materials that would be useful to review. Add to that that the apps are high quality and available offline allowing me to study on the bus to clerkship and the Anki add-on that lets me quickly review study material, you've got an amazing and time-efficient resource. And they let you cite example images and text in your Anki cards or notebooks, so if you need to study a way they haven't developed yet you can use their resources for that. It's an amazing resource, and I think every medical student should get access to it.

I think one of AMBOSS' strongest features is the new anki add-on! It is a great way to integrate the clinical information from AMBOSS articles, directly into rapid review and repetition learning from Anki. With this feature, you can hover over any term within a flashcard and see a concise, comprehensible summary and quick link that provides further information, if you want to learn more. This allowed me to easily consolidate concepts from a variety of disciplines and further solidify my understanding of the material.

I love how accessible and diverse it is, it has everything that I need in one place (information, questions, etc). I love all the diagrams and images as well, I think they're so clear and such great learning tools. Overall, I think it is an amazing resource that we're so lucky to have!

Q banks have been great! I found the articles helpful during clinical rotations. I look forward to continuing these practices as a resident

Amboss was the most valuable resource I had during medical school. I started using it during third year, and wish I would have began using it M2 year or even earlier. The combination of the Qbank, Amboss database, and mobile Knowledge App allowed me to excel during my clinical rotations and perform well on my shelf exams. The database and knowledge app provided me with the perfect depth of information when working on assessment and plans for my patients. My attendings were often impressed with my next step suggestions for my patients - a lot of which I determined by following treatment plans directly from the Amboss database. For shelf studying, the Qbank questions are excellent as I could filter by question difficulty, so I started out with easier questions and worked my way up to the harder ones as my exam date drew near. Additionally, I can't emphasize enough how nice it is for Amboss to allow you to choose a different answer if your first choice was wrong, unlike other Qbanks where it immediately gives you the answer, as this allows for a better evaluation of how well you narrowed down answer choices in addition to whether you could initially choose the right answer or not. The answer explanations are comprehensive but not too wordy, and being able to open up the related article to dig further into the issue is a huge benefit as well. Lastly, especially when studying for Step 1, shelf exams, or Step 2, using Anki with the Amboss add-on makes for a very efficient study style as you can hover your mouse over key words to get a better understanding of each concept within a given card, ultimately allowing you to memorize more quickly and gain a deeper understanding of your topics.

Amboss' clinical library and question bank was a stellar resource during my EM rotations and beyond. My go-to guide other than UptoDate is Amboss!

I used AMBOSS all the time during clinical rotations for references, differential diagnosis, and question banks for specific rotations I was on. It was life saving during that time and I really appreciated how easy it was to navigate through the library and how everything from the library was incorporated into the question bank, which is something you don’t see from many other resources.

AMBOSS was super helpful for me when I was studying for my clinical rotation board exams and my USMLE Step exams! I enjoy how AMBOSS not only has an expansive QBank but also has an online library of medical information and articles I used to learn material more in-depth than just at a qbank level.

As a fourth year medical student reflecting on the past few years, I cannot imagine learning medicine without Amboss. Amboss has been an absolutely indispensable tool in my medical education, and I have used it every day over the past few years. I utilized the Amboss library app consistently during clinical rotations, helping to understand the content discussed on rounds and develop the most comprehensive plans for my patients. It was also incredibly useful for Shelf exams and Step 2 studying, and I attribute much of my success on these national tests to Amboss use.

I love how thorough yet high yield the articles are. It is easy to find what you're looking for and apply it to questions and or clinical practice. Articles aslo connect seamlessly with the Qbank and Anki to review important concepts.

I love that AMBOSS is more than just a Qbank. It is helpful for all classes and rotations from MS1 to PGY1. It has study plans, articles, and questions for preclinical basic science courses and clerkship and subspeciality rotations. I truly has everything you would need to be prepared as a med student and resident including diagnostic and treatment information. It has information on diagnostic or treatment flow charts, how to work up different presenting conditions. It also shows you how to perform exam skills.

I love the integration of practice questions and reference articles. This really came in handy on the wards where I could look up pathophysiology and management guidelines for diseases all in one place! This helped me with managing patients and on the spot learning while being so busy with clinical duties.

I loved using the AMBOSS medical library in the hospital. It was most helpful when we were rounding on patients and I needed to brush up on a topic quickly whether it be pharm, bugs, or pathophys. The organization of topics allowed me to find the information I needed quickly. This was especially helpful when there was something I misunderstood and needed to look it up quickly before asking the attending for further clarification. I also loved using the AMBOSS Anki add-on, it saved me a ton of time.

I absolutely LOVE AMBOSS! It has saved me many times both in the pre-clinical and clinical phases of medical school. The questions are so well constructed and I love how if you need, you can get a little tip to help you get an answer. I also love how the questions do not give you the answers right away so you can still critically think to find the right question. I used it for my in house exams and also for board prep. I also used AMBOSS in the clinical view to help with finding clinical presentation for diagnoses, finding differential diagnoses, and also management plans. This was extremely helpful, quick, and easy to access on my computer or my phone. I will use this as I start residency as well!

Amboss has helped me in so many ways. First, the interface of the Amboss articles organizes my learning systematically, starting with pathophysiology and progressing to management. I love this structured setup because it helps me understand the why behind concepts. Amboss has also helped me excel during clinical rotations by allowing me to quickly look up information. It has significantly improved my patient presentations, thereby enhancing patient care.
