OVERVIEW

A comprehensive medical knowledge platform and Qbank for students and clinicians, providing evidence-based content for exam prep and clinical decision support.

AMBOSS is a digital medical knowledge platform founded in 2012 by physicians, designed to empower all medical professionals to provide the best possible care. It serves as an extensive medical knowledge resource and an exam preparation tool, bridging the gap between medical education and clinical practice.

The platform is built on three core elements: a comprehensive Medical Library (with over 1,400 articles and 20,000+ medical phrases), a high-yield Question Bank (Qbank) featuring over 11,000 questions tailored for major exams like USMLE, COMLEX, Shelf, and PANCE, and personalized Analytics.

Key features include a 'Clinician Mode' for quick, evidence-based clinical decision support, which provides differential diagnoses, flowcharts, checklists, and a comprehensive drug database. The content is interlinked and context-sensitive, allowing users to seamlessly switch between study and clinical reference modes on web and mobile devices. AMBOSS is provisionally accredited by the ACCME as a CME provider, supporting continuous professional development.

Target users include medical students, residents, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. It is utilized by over 1 million professional users in more than 180 countries and has been adopted by over 50 medical schools and large hospital groups.
