The consistent format and exam like organization

OphthoGenie played a significant role in my success in passing the stressful oral exam. The interactive format was a great resource for both self-study and study with a partner. I found using OphthoGenie to be much more effective in preparing for the exam than reading through review books with cases. The study buddy feature was invaluable in helping identify areas that we were lacking in knowledge... Show more

OphthoGenie was the primary resource I used for my oral boards study. The cases are thorough and cover the content you need to know comprehensively. They're also very useful for developing a consistent approach to the cases so that you already have that programmed into your brain when you sit for your exam. The cases in OphthoGenie also cover some unusual diagnoses or specific tests that examiner... Show more

I love the study buddy format. I also felt that the cases were high yield. I wish that there were more cases though.

Ophthogenie was likely the only reason I passed the oral boards - many of the standard books everyone uses are good too but they're old, outdated, and don't have the dynamic interface that truly allows you to test yourself and hit all the points you need to. The format is structured just like the boards and the information organized in the exact way the board wants to hear it. Highly recommend!

Of all the modules I have used, I think your set up and execution was the best. I have used Ophtho questions, osler, all of the books and I still thought your program was the best

I knew that my usual way of studying wouldn't cut it for oral boards. It's simply a different animal. Ophthogenie gave me an effective method to prepare efficient responses, practice with peers, and identify areas in need of improvement. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-yield exam prep resource. Thanks Ophthogenie!

the shared study mode is SO great and SO fun...Cases were good quality. I think more detail than needed to pass oral boards, but I think this makes it a valuable study tool.

I didn't have a consistent study partner, so the large case library enabled me to self study. The Study Buddy feature also helped when I had intermittent study partners so that I could guide them to practice cases with me in a structured way that I trusted.

follows order of the actual exam

The step by step break down of the questions so that i could slowly digest them and see if i got each section correct...I passed!

Practice presentations in real life, able to use with study partner. Good content.

I found OphthoGenie indispensable to my studying for the oral boards (which I fortunately passed). The breadth of information was probably the most important aspect to this review guide. There were always a few sections in the various review books that felt kind of sparse. OphthoGenie includes so many diagnoses that I didn’t expect would show up on the test (and yet I reviewed them, just in case!)... Show more

This oral board prep resource is the most comprehensive in content of all of the available books. It is the only resource I utilized to study and I felt well prepared. The format of the slides are equally great for solo study or role-play studying with a friend. I wasn’t sure whether or not to sign up for the Osler course to boost my confidence, but I decided not to and I am so glad I did not spen... Show more

The oral board exam is the most unnatural exam we will ever take and it is particularly difficult for people like myself who freeze up during anything resembling 'pimping'. There is no real comprehensive study source that is conquerable in a reasonable amount of time, particularly during busy fellowship or first year of practice. Reading BCSC is not an efficient use of time and doesn't help with t... Show more

I used OphthoGenie to study for my Spring oral board exams. I used the other typical oral board review books but found OphthoGenie to be the most comprehensive review of ophthalmology and was great preparation for any case that could be asked on oral boards. After going through the material, I felt that I was incredibly prepared for anything the examiners presented on test day. Highly recommended... Show more
