    What's the difference between the print and digital formats?

    PRINT:

    Five full-color books to flip through, highlight, and write in will arrive on your doorstep with a beautiful shelf case for easy display. The books are yours to keep. Use the index to flip to the section you’re looking for. Use these books in internet deserts. Not directly, but cross-references exist in Q&As, flashcards, and more.

    DIGITAL:

    Our Digital Core flies through space and lands in your myMedStudy account. Digital Core is accessible for three years. View instant search results to quickly and easily find what you need. Use Digital Core through myMedStudy on every device with internet access. Yes, content is directly interlinked to Q&As and digital Flashcards (purchase separately). Digital Core receives ongoing updates.

    It's great! I studied only using Medstudy and passed the boards on first attempt. I strongly recommend it to my colleagues and friends.

    I read the books and did the question bank. I liked that the book had questions because it helped me read more actively.

    The Core was just what I needed to really step back and review everything. I don't think I would have passed without it.
