  • Highly recommended! Great way to fill in gaps of knowledge and review all important subject areas. Subject areas I was less comfortable with I read MedStudy to get a more detailed review. It was helpful in bridging gaps.

I do not see a critical care section unfortunately

Thank you for your feedback and for using MedStudy. IM Core is designed to help physicians prepare for the ABIM Internal Medicine Certification and MOC exams, so we prioritize content based on the ABIM Internal Medicine blueprint. Because critical care is a distinct specialty with its own exam, IM Core does not include a separate critical care section.

We do, however, cover many high-yield critical care topics that are relevant to the ABIM IM exam, and those topics are placed within the sections where they fit clinically and for exam study (rather than grouped into a single section). If you’d like, we can help you quickly locate the critical care–related topics you’re looking for.

Also, if there are specific critical care topics you feel are particularly important for ABIM IM and you didn’t see them adequately covered, please send them our way. We welcome targeted suggestions and are happy to review them for potential inclusion in future updates.

My old favorite!

I have used Medstudy for all of my internal medicine certifications since I was first certified in 1997. I introduced it to my residency program in 1997 and it was the first year that EVERY resident passed! My next and final certification will be in 2027 and I’m sticking with a program that works.

A true MedStudy legend! We love that you’ve been with us since 1997 and helped your whole residency class crush it. Huge thanks for the trust and loyalty. We’ll be right here with you for that final round in 2027.

Never Failed Me

This will be my 3rd recertification and my 4th time using MedStudy as my only study aid for the ABIM. MedStudy has never failed me to prepare well.

The topics it's self it's great and useful
But the way it is presented is not good. I prefer it to be like a book with page numbers at the bottom so I can remember where I was on which page and how many pages I have left.

Material is good, but lacks option to highlight texts

IM core content is excellent. Succinct. The layout and tables are very easy to read. I like how they have highlighted the important high-yield material. The only problem is that there is no option to highlight texts that I feel are important or want to glance through during my follow-up reads. That is why it gets 4 stars.
