What's Included in IMD?

Every major USMLE question bank sits behind the same login, so you are not choosing between UWorld and Amboss on price — you get both. The self-assessments and NBME forms matter as much as the QBanks themselves, because they are the only scores that predict a real one, and buying them separately is usually the most expensive part of a prep budget. Mehlman's PDFs, the CMS subject exams and the high-yield concept decks are included for the last few weeks before a test date.

IMD is not a USMLE-only library. If you are sitting the Canadian MCCQE1, the Australian AMC, the UK's PLAB or the MRCP, the question banks and the country-specific therapeutic guidance are in the same subscription — including eTG for Australian practice and PassMedicine for the UK, which are otherwise separate annual fees. One account covers a change of plan, which matters when your exam route depends on a visa outcome.

Residency and beyond are covered too: maintenance-of-certification banks for internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, neurology and gastroenterology, the shelf exams you meet during clerkships, and MKSAP for board review. NCLEX, PANCE/PANRE, COMLEX and MCAT banks are included as well, which is why the same subscription tends to outlast the exam it was bought for.

Complete video courses rather than sample lessons — Boards and Beyond, Lecturio, Osmosis, Kaplan and Dr Najeeb's series in full, alongside Sketchy and Pixorize for the mnemonics people actually remember under exam pressure. The clinical side carries Oakstone CME, Mayo Clinic lectures, 123Sonography for ultrasound and AccessMedicine's procedural videos, so the same account works for a final-year student and a practising registrar.

The references you reach for on a ward round: UpToDate with the same content as the website, VisualDx for building a differential from what you can see, the Sanford Guide for antimicrobial choices, and BMJ-developed disease and guideline content condensed to the moment of care. Drug interaction checking handles up to thirty drugs at once, and Pill ID identifies a tablet from its shape, colour and markings — the sort of lookup that is genuinely hard without a subscription.

All the standard pharmacology references together, which is unusual — most institutions license either Lexicomp or Micromedex, not both. Martindale is the reference for drugs outside your own country's formulary, and Micromedex's Pediatric, NeoFax and IV Compatibility modules are included rather than sold as add-ons. Applied Therapeutics and Drug Facts and Comparisons cover the pharmacotherapy side.

The Amirsys databases are the reason a lot of radiology and pathology trainees buy IMD at all. StatDx carries over 4,300 diagnoses with roughly 200,000 expert-annotated image examples and 1,300 differential modules; ExpertPath covers 4,000 diagnoses with 51,000 annotated pathology images. The Anatomy Reference Center adds 15,000 labelled structures across illustrations, cadaver photographs, radiology and histology — individually these are institutional-licence products.

More than thirty thousand textbooks and references from Elsevier, McGraw Hill, Thieme, Lippincott and Oxford, kept at current editions rather than whichever edition was scanned years ago. Almost every specialty is represented, and where a book ships with video content that comes too. If a title you need is missing, it can be requested and added to the library.
