Read full description

Medibuddy is a study app for medical students and doctors preparing for exams and interviews. Work through question banks, revise with flashcards, sit timed mock exams, and practise interview scenarios, all from your phone. Your progress syncs with your Medibuddy account, so you can start on a laptop and carry on from your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO Question banks Work through banks by topic, or build a session across a whole subject. Every question comes with a full explanation, so you learn from the ones you get wrong rather than just scoring them. Sessions are timed, your results are saved, and you can reopen any past session from your history. Ask AI Stuck on a question or a scenario? Ask AI in place for a hint, a fuller explanation, or a breakdown of the underlying concept, without losing your place in the session. Flashcards Review flashcards by deck, and generate new ones from your own notes and documents when you would rather not build them by hand. Mock exams Sit full timed exams under realistic conditions, then review your answers question by question. Interview scenarios Practise interview and clinical scenarios, reveal model answers when you are ready, and keep your own notes against each one. Knowledge library Read reference chapters with figures, tables and inline glossary definitions. Videos Watch course videos alongside the written material. Daily targets and streaks Set your own daily goal for questions and flashcards, and watch the streak build on your dashboard. Dashboard See your progress across every tool in one place, and switch between courses if you are enrolled on more than one. ACCOUNT REQUIRED Medibuddy is for existing account holders. You will need a Medibuddy account to sign in, and the app shows the courses attached to that account. There is no sign-up inside the app. If your course is on a free trial, some content will be marked as not included, and the app will tell you which parts of your trial are limited.
