    Helpful:)
    Just started these and so far I love the question sessions! It helps when they discuss and break down the answer choices! Thank you for this!
  • Woosthaat
    LOVE it!
    Truly love how so well you help students like me who have so many other responsibilities that keeps us on our toes or in the car! My hats off for the excellent service that you provide with your great team with such dedicated passion for medical education! I wish ITB great success as it has great potential to grow to be the audio equivalent of UWORLD!

    Super helpful
    I’ve learned so much by listening to you guys. And sometimes laughed which helped me to relax during stressful studying time. Thank you for adding humor to your great educational content.

    Excellent resource
    I especially like the question episodes. Clear, direct answer explanations. High yield topics covered. Perfect for listening to on the plane, long drive or in the shower!
  • Kwa11
    Keep it up
    Really good resource for studying on the go. As feedback I suggest to keep episodes with host/guess how make emphases on some high yield content. I think is kind of boring when the host/guess is like only reading the information. I like when the host gives like his own personal thoughts and then the explanations for the questions.

    great on the go resource
    Love using this to stay productive while walking my dog, meal prepping, or running errands. I appreciate the variety of people they get to talk on the show and the tips they provide on top of the content.

    Well done
    Would recommend this to people trying to optimize their 3rd year medical school experience!
  • Viv228
    LOVE
    I listen to this whenever I am walking, driving, putting on makeup, etc. The question dissections are so helpful, and I feel like I have learned so much.
  • Bootifultae
    Solid.
    Solid for listening during the workout, driving, dishes or laundry; makes you feel a little less guilty for taking care of yourself while learning a little bit as well!
  • Chrisco1541
    Such a life hack!!
    I listen to the podcast when I’m driving or exercising, and I swear, any topic they have covered, I remember. Some of the topics have helped me to be prepared for med school tests, and I’m excited to be using ITB to help prepare me for Step 1 next year. Highly recommend!
  • Nanitch
    Inside the boards is life saving for step !! ❤️
    As a medical student this has been amazing!!!
  • Rogelio Guaita

    It’s great to have Greg in your team.

    Amazing question reviews
    Whether your in dedicated or just going through first year, this podcast is a blessing. Great break down and info into the question and answers. Has for sure gotten me a few questions right in my studies.

    To Lessen Your Commuting Guilt
    I’m in dedicated right now and every second spent not studying, I feel stressed and guilty. InsideTheBoards does a great job reviewing content and presenting it the same way you’ll see it on test day. They’ve been a huge help in calming my existential dread and allowing me to focus on one disease process at a time while I’m in the car to school, on the way to get coffee, or eating lunch by myself because let’s face it, medical students are the worst to be around during Boards season. One thing that you’ll learn to love is that rather than having ads, these guys recommend purchasing their audio question bank. They don’t inundate you with 2 blocks of three minute ads for Doordash or HelloFresh; they just gently remind you that the questions you’re getting for free on this podcast are for purchase in a Q bank where you don’t have to wait for a weekly episode. Highly recommend listening to the podcast!
  • Abramoz
    Please, one minute of talking about the new Q-bank is enough per episode.
    I started listening to you guys today and I really like the medical content , but I don’t think I will be able to take 3-4 times per episode of mentioning the new Q-bank. In two episodes, about 30 percent of the total time was ads about the Q-bank. Know your audience, medical students are decision makers. So, mentioning it one time per episode is more than enough. I will keep checking one time per week to know if you fixed that or not. To know if I will continue listening or not.
  • l3yi
    Wish I would’ve discovered them sooner!
    Listening to you guys not only discuss questions, but also talk about the importance of self care & different strategies to incorporate has been extremely helpful to my studies. I love the side tips, the thorough explanations & the light-hearted humor! Definitely a must have for any student on the go (or in the gym)!
  • Madi65734
    I just wish ITB had more episodes!
    I love how digestible the episodes are. I always take something away from listening.

  • Harpb91
    Love it
    Great podcast! Perfect for revision. Thank you!!
  • cmwelsh94
    Great on the go!
    I really like listening to the breakdown of Step 1 questions as I drive to and from the hospital. I’m in my core clinical rotations and will be taking Step 1 after this year so I feel like I can prepare for Step without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Xtatix001
    A topic to be covered
    I think the topic about suicide for medical students is a topic that isn’t covered as much. Programs should be in place to help the students out. Thank you Pamela wible for the interview and talk on this topic. Continue the help and support. Thankyou.
  • OsteoMike
    Great Resource
    Thank you for making the InsideTheBoards podcast and audio qbank. I used both while studying for the USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1. I can remember seeing specific "must know" topics on my exams that you discussed during either the podcast or audio qbank and it certainly helped me. I will continue to use both products for 3rd year as I prepare for Step/Level 2. USMLE Step 1: 253 COMLEX Level 1: 714
  • Jegaston1
    Step study
    Game changer for your step 1 studying. A must listen podcast !

  • Jimmy McCluskey
    Great learning on the go
    ITB is a relaxed way to learn content on the go that complements your studies!
  • Lola.knowsBEST
    EXCEPTIONAL LEARNING TOOL
    I discovered this on my drive to the airport on the LAST DAY of my first year of medical school. I haven’t stopped listening since. I’ve learned SO MUCH. And shared with my family on our summer vacation road trip. They love it too!
  • Steph62785
    The best
    This podcast is pure gold. I listen to it while I walk my dogs and while I’m in the car. They cover a variety of high yield topics and I’ve answered many questions correctly on Uworld just based on this podcast. Thanks for making this so amazing!
  • JakeFries70
    This is Awesome
    Great to listen to in the car or when mowing grass or really doing anything that you can’t be looking at a book or notes. These are also great to review from yo r 1st year going into your second year!!!
  • MomDOc86
    Re: Don't miss out
    I can't believe this is free. They provide some of the best free med school content available. This is a great supplement when I'm driving in the car or at the gym. And they really seem like they genuinely care about medical students. I really can't think of another resource out there that really does give me back some of my time. Thanks ITB!!!
  • Camel1208
    Great podcast!
    You guys are FANTASTIC! Love being able to listen while I’m driving/exercising, and it’s very concise. My only complaint is: the music at the beginning is absolutely TERRIBLE. Maybe pick something else or nothing at all?
  • Juazolo
    An awesome on-the-go review
    I’ve taken several road trips during my STEP 1 prep and have listened to this podcast just to feel like I wasn’t completely wasting all that time on the road. I have to say it is really refreshing to hear advice on how to study and answer boards-style questions from some really smart people that they have on the show. They do recaps of information in addition to covering questions (both right and wrong answer choices). I wouldn’t use it as a primary study resource, but a good add-on to whatever you are doing. Another helpful thing to do is to start listening to it before you get into dedicated studying period so you can get a heads up on some great resources that they recommend on the show and tutoring companies they know do good work. I had a pretty crappy tutoring experience and wish I had tried out the ones they recommended on the show back when I was doing it. Good luck with STEP studies!

    Great audio resource
    I enjoy that ease of having this audio resource when driving or working out.
  • Cobramaypearl
    Excellent
    This podcast is on point. They always explain the answer but give it to you in a way to really understand it.
  • Tap what?
    Great show
    Love the show, very good explanations of the material. Very nice to listen to while driving.
  • roddengr
    Solid resource
    They continue to deliver for medical students with no signs of stopping soon!
  • The Happy Doc
    High Quality Podcast/ Huge Time Saver
    Patrick Beeman cares. He is on a mission to make medical education easier. I can listen to this in my car, while, at the gym, while cooking. It's great to gain that passive knowledge and still be able to get necessary life tasks done. Med school is already busy, this helps save time and is invaluable.
  • DrPierre
    Amazing resource
    If you’re getting ready to tackle your board exams, this is a must needed resource to add.
  • (Almost)DocMom
