Wondering if watching the Internal Medicine Video Board Review is the best way for you to prep for boards? You've come to the right place! We've got the answers to your most frequently asked questions on these board review videos for the ABIM exams.
What is the Internal Medicine Video Board Review?
The Internal Medicine Video Board Review is one of our best-loved study tools. It's recorded at our most recent live course, and internists tell us they love that they're in control of how and when they review with these lectures.
The videos are specifically designed for physicians who are preparing for their ABIM exam (MOC or initial certification) and are great for maintaining excellence in daily practice as well. Expert physician educators cover every topic from the exam blueprint and even offer valuable board tips.
But the video review is more than just lectures. The full-color print syllabus is a physician-favorite, and you'll be able to practice recall with hundreds of Audience Response questions.
Which format of videos should I choose?
Internal Medicine Video Board Review on USB and Online Streaming
We have two formats to choose from: Online streaming or USB flash-drive.
If you choose to go with the online streaming videos, you can access them anywhere you have an internet connection by going to your myMedStudy account. You’ll login using your email address and password. The videos will be under the “My Products” section until the CME expires.
New this year, you can also access the online Internal Medicine Video Board Review on the free MedStudy app. The app also enables you to watch without WiFi when you download your videos.
If you decide to go with the USB, the USB is yours to keep and watch from any enabled device. Just keep in mind that the USB won't authenticate on a new device after the CME expires.
Which format should I choose if I frequently travel on planes?
Now both formats work for frequent travelers!
The USB flash drive always allows access to the videos without the internet. But you will need to login using the internet the very first time you use a new device to authenticate it. After you’ve logged in on that device, you can watch them from your USB without internet access.
The online version can be watched without WiFi when you download the videos on the free MedStudy app. Just download the videos before you takeoff!
Which format should I choose if I want to watch from my phone or tablet?
If you’d like to watch the videos on your phone or portable device like a tablet or iPad, you'll definitely want to go with the online videos. That way, you can stream the board review videos right from your account or the MedStudy app.
Note: You aren’t able to download the videos from the USB onto your phone or iPad, if you’d like to watch them from a device, you’ll want to go with the online streaming.
