FAQs
What is the IFOM?
The IFOM® exams are standardized, objective exams that are used in various countries (Ukraine, Panama, and Oman, among others) as an international standard to measure the academic performance of their medical graduates.
The IFOM® exams consist of a Basic Science Exam (BSE) and a Clinical Science Exam (CSE), which are both developed and conducted by the National Board of Medical Examiners® (NBME®)–the same body that administers the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®).
Each IFOM® exam comprises 160 multiple-choice questions presented in clinical vignette style to assess a student’s ability to not just recall but also apply their acquired knowledge.
The exam consists of two parts: a multiple choice question (MCQ) written exam, and a clinical skills component.

How have AMBOSS students done on the IFOM previously?
We regularly receive numerous emails and messages from students from all over the world, telling us about how AMBOSS helped prepare them for the IFOM® exams and how it was a big factor in their success. We cannot possibly publish all those messages and experiences. However, we have documented one student’s experience and quotes from a few other students’ experiences here. Please feel free to take a look. Or simply, ask any student in your university that may have recently given their IFOM® exam with AMBOSS. We are sure that they would definitely have a positive experience to share with you.
