Nationally about 75% of Med-Peds residents who complete training will become dually boarded. Close to 95% of our Cincinnati Med-Peds graduates are dually boarded. Our successful strategy? First and foremost, we help you individualize your learning
using your in-training exam scores and our internal testing program. We also help you find and address your gaps, and supplement your learning with multiple opportunities for board study.
MKSAP: We subsidize MKSAP board prep for all Med-Peds residents. Created
by the American College of Physicians, MKSAP is one of the most robust learning platforms available. It includes learning analytics, multiple choice questions, high-yield topic chapters, and flashcards. MKSAP also includes a coaching function,
allowing our program leadership to push you optional weekly questions. Our residents have formed teams and taken a gamified approach to answering these weekly questions, creating a fun residency-wide learning environment.
MedStudy Pediatrics: We purchase access to MedStudy Pediatrics for our PGY3 and PGY4 residents. This platform has many similar fantastic learning functions to
MKSAP, including learning analytics, a coaching function, and over 2000 multiple choice questions. Our 3rd and 4th year residents also have weekly questions pushed from this question bank, ensuring that during the last two
years of residency you will have a mechanism to encourage regular studying for both IM and Peds boards.
