When you're ready to start studying for your ABIM exam, it's important to choose the right learning tools. What do we mean by that? Well, it's important to make sure that you choose study materials that give you a review of what you already know, help you find your knowledge gaps, teach you guideline updates, and streamline your study process. Here are our five best tips for picking the best review lectures.
Find lectures that are designed to fit your schedule
With your busy schedule, you don't have any time to waste. You need learning tools with built-in flexibility. We designed our Video Board Review for busy Internal Medicine practitioners who are preparing for the ABIM exam (MOC or initial cert).
The 41+ hours of lectures are organized by subtopics so you can instantly navigate to the specific sections of lectures you would like to review. Lectures range from a couple of minutes to an hour, so you can always fit a review into your schedule no matter how little time you have to study. Every lecture is laser-focused on board testing points, so you will learn exactly what you need to know for board exams and practice in less time.
Make sure video lectures are aligned with the ABIM exam blueprint

Have you reviewed the blueprint for your ABIM exam yet? While you can never know exactly what questions will show up on your exam, we can reference the ABIM blueprint to see what topics you'll be tested on, as well as the percentage each topic will be weighted in the exam score. The Video Board Review is carefully tailored to the ABIM blueprint, so you can spend your time focusing on what you need to know, with no extra fluff.
Our lectures aren’t taught by just one physician—we find expert physician educators for each topic to give you an engaging and board-focused review.
Get videos that prep you to answer board-style questions
All new! The Video Board Review seamlessly integrates self-testing into your board prep with the Question Review Video. It's a separate video that combines every audience-response Q&A into one perfect review tool. During the lectures, our expert physician educators present Q&As. You can quiz yourself throughout the entire course to identify any knowledge gaps. Plus, the lecturers give thorough explanations of why the correct answer is right and why the distractors are incorrect.
Look for proven study techniques
To get the best review possible, you'll want to make sure that your ABIM board review videos align with study strategies that are proven to help you remember more of what you study and review. The Video Board Review has been hand-crafted to match best practices from our revolutionary learning method. And, the result is powerful. By following the MedStudy Method, you’ll learn, retain, and easily recall all the medical information you need, whether you’re seeing patients or taking boards.
