- (2025-01-05) Dan Nichols: This is great. Desired features tho 1. Need to make anki cards from incorrects on question bank. For example, see the "Find Cards From UWorld Test" add on for anki. It would be nice if the Amboss Anki Add-On would pull cards based on incorrects, rather unfortunate that it is not able to do this at present. 2. Wish it were available for Microsoft Edge as well so I can use it at while on campus. + Edit, new requests ... 01/05/2025 3. When clicking an amboss link, it should open a new tab, instead of the new sidebar. The new sidebar feature is not desired and should at least have option to disable. The old way was better. Knocking off stars bc now I have to take extra steps to open the article in a proper new tab that is readable. The side bar is not usable.
- (2024-07-13) Aria Izanlou: Im in love with medicine again <3
- (2024-05-27) Nishant Gogna: How am I now just finding out this extension exists? This extension should be natively installed on every Chrome/Edge app worldwide.
- (2024-03-21) Ida Fan: this chrome extension is my new religion <3
- (2024-03-10) kathryn bay: perfect for DO qbanks which have no explanation
- (2024-03-05) Jake Mazzola: The Anki add-on was already my favorite add-on for Amboss, and this essentially takes it to the next level by having sleek, concise and high yield information integrated into the entire web. This really elevates reading research publications for me!
- (2024-03-05) Michael Koo: The AMBOSS chrome extension takes its excellent anki add-on and now applies it to the entirety of the internet. Whether it's scientific papers, uworld qbanks, or even somebody's social media post, there will never be any rudimentary medical terminology that won't have convenient and fast explanations attached to it. This is especially invaluable for early medical learners who will no longer have to google or chatgpt every single term they don't know and instead, be able to get a quick definition along with links to much more comprehensive explanations in the AMBOSS clinical learning tool.
- (2024-03-05) Taeya Mayes: I just started dedicated, and this tool is extremely helpful while reviewing Uworld blocks!
- (2024-03-04) Ciara Robb: Game Changer! So nice to have quick summaries of conditions and medical terms on sites like Uworld and UPToDate!
- (2024-03-04) Neel Doshi: Excellent tool and very useful!
- (2024-03-03) Scott Gronowicz: Great tool. Especially useful when reading papers/publications
- (2024-03-01) Andy Xiao: Love this feature! Helps a lot with boards studying
- (2024-03-01) Emily: This is so helpful! It's like your AMBOSS library is everywhere with you, especially when you're reading things like statpearls and might want some background information that it's lacking.
- (2024-03-01) Alex Chang: This extension is super helpful! It makes it extremely easy for you to find the information that you are looking for, and even some information that you didn't know you needed. Having everything available immediately, regardless of what site you might be getting your information from, makes it studying and learning so much more seamless and straight forward.
- (2024-02-29) Daniel Pardo: Game changing
- (2024-02-29) Ezra Smith: Time is precious, so the need to have information available quickly across any page is invaluable!
- (2024-02-29) Jacob Ryu: Works perfect write out the gate! Highly recommend for anyone in the field of medicine, whether students or clinicians
- (2024-02-29) Ashlee Sweet: Love this so much! Starting to get into boards studying and this saves me so much time looking things up
- (2024-02-29) David Guempel: Gotta love when good products get better! I wish Amboss came to medical school orientations so I could have heard about and utilized these resources earlier. White coats are important and all, but when so much lecture content is being delivered remotely, getting answers to your questions quickly and concisely has really helped my overall medical school learning experience.
- (2024-02-29) Vanessa Stubbs: This is a wonderful add on that really helps bring medical knowledge to our fingertips. Highly recommended for medical students, especially when doing some lit review.
- (2024-02-29) Matthew Bugada: This add on is great. I use it while on UpToDate, while searching the web for different diseases, and studying on websites like UWorld. Would recommend to any medical student.
- (2024-02-29) Cesar Ramirez: This was game changer when I reviewed missed questions!
- (2024-02-29) Alison Day: I already loved the Anki add-on, and so I knew this would be awesome as well!
- (2024-02-29) Tucker Angier: Incredibly useful for when using any in-depth medical website (think PubMed and the like), it helps refresh and build knowledge as you go, kind of like a little AMBOSS side kick.
- (2024-02-29) Justin Wolozin: Amazing extension and essential for any user of Amboss.
- (2024-02-29) Kendall Gardner: Amazing resource to have and use when looking at research papers! Totally recommend.
- (2024-02-03) Hannes: It's super handy and makes it easy for me to use AMBOSS practically everywhere on the web.
- (2024-01-31) Ronil Vaghjiani: MCQ CEO is paying attention, really great addition to an amazing product!
- (2024-01-29) Gaurav Nigam: With the Chrome Add on, everything becomes an Amboss article!!! The best part of the original Amboss Anki add-on was having a quick reference for the barrage of medical terms seen during flashcards. See an unfamiliar term that wasn't quite worth looking up? No need; the pop-ups give great summaries with link to the full article for more information. Now, that feature is ever present when reading articles on PubMed, having a quick Google session, or even doing other QBanks (e.g. Uworld). Also, if it ever gets to be too much, there is a quick toggle feature to disable the highlights! But in my experience, it has only enhanced my learning experience.
- (2024-01-26) Niklas Büscher: I love the Amboss Anki add-on on and this extension brings the power of this add-on to the web. Super helpful to quickly look up a term or concept or to cross-reference something when doing Qbank blocks. Same when reviewing the often poorly written explanations of NBME forms. Love that it brings Amboss illustrations and images to other Qbanks. Also a huge time saver when reading pubmed articles because I don't have to start googling for things I need to look up.
- (2024-01-24) Michael Steadman: Incredible add-on for browsers to help medical personnel brush up on unfamiliar topics while searching PubMed, doing practice questions on most major QBanks (e.g., UWorld), and even on sites like Wikipedia. It's worth checking out if you're a medical student currently learning the basic tenets of medicine, a resident mastering the art of medicine, or a practicing physician looking to stay sharp throughout their career.
- (2024-01-24) Renata Narożyńska: Must have for med students
- (2024-01-23) Khashayar Mozaffari: This is an excellent product and makes studying/reading so much easier. Great to see that AMBOSS is always looking for ways to improve and enhance medical education.
- (2024-01-23) Ashley Njoku: makes learning easy
- (2024-01-23) Travis Seideman: I wish I had this for last two years of med school, it would have made not only studying but research so much easier. The Anki Add-On alone was a game changer for studying but this takes it to a new level. The fact you can use it with QBanks makes it even better because NBME explanations are so bad. Once again AMBOSS is showing why they are rising to the top in medical education so quickly.
- (2024-01-23) Joyce Olayinka: I've been an amboss user for about five years and there is a useful and significant update regularly (especially the anki add on which was very useful during the shelf exams). Now as someone who is currently involved in a research this has been extremely helpful in limiting unnecessary google searches by providing direct information about medical jargon on the website such as Pubmed, and thus saving time on that front. I have also checked if it works on nbme self assessment with explanations for step 1, 2 or 3 prep and it does :). Amboss keeps making the medicine as seamless as possible!!
- (2024-01-23) Monique Le Donne: Must-have for med students! Works well with UWorld and PubMed articles
- (2024-01-23) Justin Pallo: Geez. I wish I would have had this last night, trying to decipher some articles. This is amazing!
- (2024-01-22) Natalie Faryna: wow! that's a game changer! must-have if you're med student
- (2024-01-22) Paula Prescott: The ability to click on terms for deeper insights without leaving the current site is a game-changer.
- (2024-01-22) Peter Thomas-Morr: Extremely helpful! Saves a lot of time because the relevant info is just there where I need it. Love that it takes me straight to the Amboss library if I want to read more about a topic or look at high quality images.
- (2024-01-22) Vasilis Stathias: By far my favourite extension as a med student. We are becoming even closer friends now that I am preparing for step 1! Thank you Amboss!
- (2024-01-22) Davide Pilla: Very useful! It highlights all medical terms on a page and I can get additional info from AMBOSS library just by hovering with the mouse. If I need to deep dive, in 1 click I can reach the corresponding article in AMBOSS library. Wonderful!
- (2024-01-22) Claudia Collu: The quick search is a time-saver! The extension overall is super clean and easy to navigate.
- (2024-01-22) Maria Colaço: Ooh! I love this. I've always wanted something for deeper content review while doing UW. Constantly switching between UW and then searching on the AMBOSS library was just about alright...but definitely felt like a clunky workaround. You guys read my mind! This does exactly what I need it to. PERFECTLY!
- (2024-01-22) Clotilde Drivet: Very useful, reliable and efficient tool. It has truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you for creating such an outstanding tool!
- (2024-01-22) Anna Frederikke Wentz: Super helpful extension. Gives me definitions of medical terms across all websites and if I want to dig deeper, I can link-out to the platform! I think the definitions also work without an account.
- (2024-01-22) Andreea Marcu: Amazing and helpful feature!!!
- (2024-01-22) Hamid Himat: awesome!
- (2024-01-12) Dan Nichols: Would easily be 5 star if it also showed the generic and trade name of drugs while hovering. At present it only shows the generic names, so it doesn't really help because on clerkships the attending always ask things like "what is the (mechanism/ADR/stepdown/etc) of [trade name] drug?" Even in "clinician" mode it shows only the generic name.
