MedStudy's Intensive conferences have set a new standard for effective learning and attendee satisfaction.
Here are several reasons why:
An Intensive that's not so intense
MedStudy employs a schedule for Intensive conferences that makes them more manageable, more productive, more survivable. We spread it over 9 days, providing you two absolutely Board-relevant 4-hour lecture sessions each day. This pace allows you to digest what you're learning without wearing you out.
Top teachers
We bring you teachers drawn from a pool of recommended “best teachers,” who give you second-to-none topical expertise and proven teaching styles.
Board simulation exams
At the beginning and toward the end of the Intensive, you have the option to sit for Board simulation exams, set up almost exactly like your Board exam will be. You get computer-graded scores within 24 hours. Come to the follow-up session for detailed discussion of the questions and valuable test-taking tips.

Study groups
(because several heads are better than one)
Take advantage of optional organized study groups where you'll join other attendees to review lectures, clarify key points, drive home your learning, and bring new creativity and energy to your study effort.

A syllabus really worth having
Forget those disorganized, sketchy outlines and useless research papers most courses hand out. We give you a thorough and useful syllabus with virtually every text, diagram and table slide the speakers use. Instead of madly scribbling notes, you can listen attentively to the lecture and highlight important points already printed on the syllabus in front of you. It's great at the Intensive and it's the perfect take-home Intensive reference.
"Skill drill" questions
Each speaker offers a set of Board-relevant questions and answers (pearls!) to help you gauge your basic knowledge in the topic area, then addresses these questions as part of his/her lecture.
“Personal Trainer”
Several weeks prior to the Intensive, you will begin receiving on-point guidance on exam preparation every 2 weeks via
e-mail from the course director, continuing up to the time of your exam. Learn the specifics to study, and how to do it effectively. Sign up early to gain the most benefit from this exclusive personal training for Board success!
