Our tutors have trained at the top hospitals in the country, and provide invaluable guidance and tutoring for residency board exams — including the ABSITE, ABIM, ABFM, and others.

ABS Exams (ABSITE, Qualifying & Certifying Exams)

The American Board of Surgery (ABS) certifies physicians in general surgery and surgical sub-specialties. The ABS In-Training Exam (ABSITE) is offered annually to residents in general surgery, and has a significant impact on resident promotion. The ABSITE is designed to test the gains that residents have achieved in their knowledge of medical science and management of clinical problems related to surgical procedures.

The ABS General Surgery Qualifying Exam (QE) is offered to surgeons after completing their residency training, and must be passed in order to obtain initial certification to practice surgery. After successfully completing the QE, a surgeon must pass the oral ABS General Surgery Certifying Exam (CE) to complete the certification process.

Internal Medicine Board Certification Exam (ABIM)

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certifies physicians in internal medicine and internal medicine sub-specialties. The Internal Medicine Board Certification Exam (the “ABIM”) is required for certification in internal medicine, and to obtain privileges at most hospitals. The ABIM requires an immense depth of knowledge, and tests an examinee’s ability to make appropriate diagnostic and management decisions for common as well as rare clinical problems for which patients may consult a certified internist.

Family Medicine Board Certification Exam (ABFM)

The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) certifies physicians in family medicine. The Family Medicine Board Certification Exam (the “ABFM”) is required for initial and ongoing certification in family medicine. Each time a board-certified family medicine practitioner successfully completes the ABFM, it resets his or her 10-year examination requirement.

Anthony has done an amazing job preparing me for my ABSITE exam.

Anthony has done an amazing job preparing me for my ABSITE exam. He was always punctual and encouraging for all of my 20hours of private lessons! He really catered to my weaknesses and helped really elaborate on concepts to help further my knowledge. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for tutoring. I’m extremely grateful to him and the whole Medlearnity team for continuously checking up on my progress.

His tutoring method, calm approach to questions, consistency and reliability, clearly played a huge role in my passing the ABIM.

After failing ABIM a few times and trying different review courses, I decided to try Medlearnity.Dr. Anthony was my tutor for ABIM. He was extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. His tutoring method, calm approach to questions, consistency and reliability, clearly played a huge role in my passing the ABIM. He was not flying through topics and questions just for the sake of completing questions; He was astute and would circle back to concepts and questions that I was weak at and continue to address them hence giving me a solid knowledge base. He was prompt, available, and responded immediately to my emails however trivial they were. He was professional and ethical. When doing questions, he would have me explain why the right answer was right and the wrong answers were wrong, this way he would fill in the knowledge gaps and give me a mini-tutor on the subject. It was worth it.Medlearnity office staff were sincerely nice, flexible, and informative.Medlearnity company has integrity and ethical culture. I would recommend them to anybody studying for Step 3, ITE, and definitely ABIM Boards.

The preliminary results say I passed! So mission accomplished.

This is the second exam that I have done with Medlearnity and it has been another amazing experience. I didn’t receive a passing score on my PGY-1 and PGY-2 ITE’s, likely due to not feeling motivated to study. I needed someone to keep me on a consistent study schedule, but also someone who could explain concepts to me that I felt weak in. I worked with Amelia for about 9 months to prepare for the American Board of Family Medicine exam. We had one 2 hour session a week. She was actually a resident, not in Family Medicine, but her breadth of knowledge was so impressive. Going over questions with her was very helpful. I felt that she was very relatable as a resident because if I expressed my frustration about my incorrect answer based on my experience, she could relay her experience in a similar scenario and combine it with her evidence based/guideline knowledge to help me understand. Sometimes it just felt like I was working with this incredible upper level. She also prepares topics to discuss to make sure that we go over a few key learning points each session on top of the questions that we do. Everything she teaches is very practical and exam oriented. No garbage. No extraneous information. No wasted time. I really appreciated how flexible she was with her schedule for me. My schedule changed every month and sometimes I wouldn’t know it until a few days in advance, but it was never any problem. She’s also very very nice and so easy to work with and talk to. Akshay was also really good about occasionally checking in on me to make sure that everything was going well with the sessions. Even though I never had any complaints, he would make sure that I felt comfortable to let him know if I had any issues. I feel that Medlearnity would be very easy to work with if I had ended up with a tutor that did not fit my learning style well. I really lucked out with Amelia though because she was exactly the tutor I was looking for. The preliminary results say I passed! So mission accomplished. I’m very happy with the results.
