    Most comprehensive online board review resource for numerous specialties I have seen. Excellent quality and quantity of questions available. Wish I had this sooner.

    Dr. Gary Choy, Radiology Attending at Harvard Medical School

    Website Image - Emory University Logo

    BoardVitals is the ideal complementary review source for any resident seeking to maximize their board exam review. The otolaryngology questions challenge you to apply your knowledge of frequently-tested ENT principles in a variety of fields, ranging from otology and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery to pediatric otolaryngology and head & neck oncology. Each question is written in a board-style format and each answer offers a detailed review of key concepts. Otolaryngology residents, myself included, have been waiting for this type of review material to be available to us and it’s finally here. I highly recommend it.

    We incorporated BoardVitals into our dental hygiene program and curriculum to help boost our National Board of Dental Hygiene Exam (NBDHE) outcomes. The platform is easy to access and manipulate for students and faculty and offers an excellent way to review key dental hygiene concepts and practices. Faculty use BoardVitals in the classroom as quick assessment tools and in the post-clinic debrief session to review and solidify learning. Students can access their BoardVitals accounts at any time to review difficult subject areas and help prepare for the format of the NBDHE questions. Since incorporating BoardVitals into our program and curriculum, our NBDHE pass rates have improved from 85% to 100% for our student graduates. I would recommend BoardVitals to any dental hygiene program looking to improve student learning and licensure exam outcomes.

    Website Image - CTSI - CN Logo

    Just so you know, we achieved a 100% pass rate on our national board examination from our last class. This was, largely in part, due to BoardVitals!

    BoardVitals is a great adjunct to your study materials when preparing for the INBDE. The questions help to prepare you well for the exam and cover a wide variety of important topics. The ease of completing the practice questions online at your convenience is one of the strengths of the resource. In addition, the detailed answer explanations help to review the important concepts and take away points from the question. I highly recommend it!

    Dr. Florence KWO DMD, Graduate of Harvard Dental School

    Website Image - Mayo Clinic Logo

    This question bank is exactly what I need to prepare to take my pediatric boards. The scope of the material is extremely high yield and really focuses on what I need to know to be most successful when taking the boards. The answer discussions for each question are well written and are mini-lectures in the unto themselves. I would recommend this question bank to anyone looking to improve their general pediatric knowledge.

    Dr. Ellsworth, Neonatology Fellow Mayo Clinic

    Website Image - Mount Sinai Logo

    It’s great to have a bank of so many questions, AP and CP, that I can take with me wherever I go - no need to drag around a heavy textbook! BoardVitals makes it easy to make use of even a few minutes of downtime!

    Sofia Kazi MD Chief Resident at Mount Sinai Medical Center New York, NY

    I absolutely love BoardVitals. It’s ideal for board test prep and I recommend it for anyone who is preparing for their exams.

    Dr. Cho Internal Medicine Yale School of Medicine

    I have found BoardVitals to be the single most useful resource in preparing for the Radiology Core exam. In their database, there are over 1000 questions drawn from every section of the Core exam, including Physics, with answers and appropriate references. To-date, it is the most complete and realistic simulation of the Core exam that I’ve been able to find. I strongly recommend it as an essential exam preparation resource.

    Lorcan O-Tuama MD

    Physician Icon

    Excellent questions with thorough explanations. The question “stems” are longer and more complex than most other board review courses, as are the answer choices. I think that this forces me to be a more focused reader and is a better reflection of the type and length of question that will be on the real exam.

    Anna M. MD Emergency Medicine Physician

    This is the only Cardiology Question Bank that pulls together content from so many sources. It’s great to have such an in-depth resource for both the boards and the re-certificiation exams.
