If you've been looking into professional ABIM test prep lately, Varsity Tutors offers private ABIM classes that may help you work toward your goals. ABIM is an acronym for the American Board of Internal Medicine, an organization that offers 22 certifications for medical doctors in the United States. Each certification is associated with a standardized exam taken to demonstrate the diagnostic reasoning and clinical judgement expected of an internal medicine practitioner, so ABIM test preparation could be an important part of your journey. Read on to learn more about why our ABIM prep stands out in the industry!
The first step in ABIM prep is understanding the prerequisites to even sit for the exam. The table below details the steps required to earn an ABIM certification:
ABIM Certification Exams Pathway
- Complete the requisite predoctoral medical education
- Meet the training requirements
- Meet the licensure requirements and procedural requirements
- Pass a certification examination
Our focus is helping you work toward the last bullet point: passing the certification exam. ABIM offers multiple different tests, so our ABIM test prep emphasizes only the exam you are taking to help improve your study efficiency. Let's use the ABIM Hematology Exam as our example:
Hematology Exam Breakdown
Medical Content Category | Exam Percentage |
Hematopoietic System | 25 |
Coagulation | 27 |
Hematologic Neoplastic Disorders | 35 |
Transfusion Medicine | 5 |
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) | 8 |
Clearly, the test is heavily slanted toward the topics of Hematologic Neoplastic Disorders, Coagulation, and the Hematopoietic System. If you enroll in a traditional ABIM course, you will probably spend nearly all of your limited class time on them. Yet what if you feel that you need more help with Transfusion Medicine? What if you need more ABIM prep time than your ABIM class provides?
Each of our ABIM courses provides a one-on-one learning environment, allowing your instructor to concentrate on your unique needs. If you want to work on Transfusion Medicine, that's fine. There is also no arbitrary limit on how long your ABIM test prep lasts, giving you the freedom to spend as much time as you need to per topic.
Private ABIM tutors may also be able to tailor your ABIM prep around your unique learning style. If you are an auditory learner, your instructor might adopt a discussion format to help concepts stick in your mind. Alternatively, a visual learner might be better served by sessions that place a heavier emphasis on visual aids such as scale models, diagrams, and graphs. Larger ABIM courses usually lack this level of customization.
Most importantly, many students take practice exams during ABIM tutoring sessions to develop an idea of the test's format. For example, there is no penalty for guessing on the ABIM tests, so you should plan to answer every question. Taking a practice test can help you get a sense for what the time available to you feels like, allowing you to budget it accordingly.
Varsity Tutors also makes ABIM preparation as convenient as possible. Our exclusive Live Learning Platform facilitates digital study sessions so you don't need to concern yourself with the logistics of meeting in person. We also try to refer every student to an instructor who can accommodate their schedule for added convenience.
Professional ABIM test prep from Varsity Tutors is a great way to build your study skills and enhance your self-confidence heading into the exam. Contact an Educational Consultant today for more information or to get started!
