# BoardMaster > BoardMaster is the all-in-one AI medical study platform for MD, DO, and PA students. Students upload their own lecture materials and get practice questions, flashcards, OSCE simulations, and study podcasts generated from that content, alongside a 5,000+ physician-written QBank and an in-session AI tutor. Supports USMLE Step 1 & 2 CK, COMLEX Level 1 & 2 CE, PANCE, and professor-matched block exams. Used by 2,000+ medical students at 9 medical schools. Professors write exams from their own lectures, but generic question banks cover every concept across all medical schools, so students spend most of their time on material their professor will never test. BoardMaster generates every question, flashcard, podcast, and OSCE case from the student's uploaded lectures, using their professor's terminology and emphasis. When a board-style format is selected, questions are written as full clinical vignettes, so one study session prepares for both the class exam and the boards. Six tools are included in a single platform: AI question generation, AI flashcards with spaced repetition and Anki import/export, AI OSCE practice with immediate scoring, MedTalk AI study podcasts, a 5,000+ physician-written QBank, and the Cortex AI tutor. Pricing is $0/month (Free), $40/month, or $400/year. All paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. The product itself runs at https://medical.boardmaster.ai; this site is the marketing and content site. ## Core pages - [BoardMaster home](https://boardmaster.ai/): Product overview, all six tools, pricing, and student outcomes - [Blog](https://boardmaster.ai/blog/): Medical school study strategies, USMLE and COMLEX prep, and AI study research - [Partnerships](https://boardmaster.ai/partnerships/): Institutional licensing and partnership options for medical schools and student organizations - [BoardMaster app](https://medical.boardmaster.ai): The study platform itself; sign up and upload lectures here ## Features - [AI Question Generator](https://boardmaster.ai/features/ai-question-generator/): Upload a lecture and get 200+ practice questions in USMLE, COMLEX, PANCE, or professor-matched Block Exam format - [AI Flashcards](https://boardmaster.ai/features/flashcards/): Up to 300 spaced-repetition flashcards per upload, with medical images and two-way Anki import/export - [AI OSCE Practice](https://boardmaster.ai/features/osce-practice/): AI standardized-patient encounters scored on history, physical exam, diagnostic reasoning, and communication - [MedTalk AI Podcasts](https://boardmaster.ai/features/study-podcasts/): Turns any lecture or PDF into an 8-minute two-host audio podcast for passive review - [QBank](https://boardmaster.ai/features/qbank/): 5,000+ physician-written board questions with Tutor Mode, Timed Mode, and Rapid Review PDFs - [Cortex AI](https://boardmaster.ai/features/cortex-ai/): In-session AI tutor that explains any highlighted term or uploaded diagram without leaving the study session ## Exam prep guides - [USMLE prep](https://boardmaster.ai/usmle-prep/): How BoardMaster supports USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK preparation - [COMLEX prep](https://boardmaster.ai/comlex-prep/): How BoardMaster supports COMLEX Level 1 and Level 2 CE preparation for DO students - [PANCE prep](https://boardmaster.ai/pance-prep/): How BoardMaster supports PANCE preparation for PA students - [Block exam prep](https://boardmaster.ai/block-exam-prep/): Professor-matched question generation for medical school block and unit exams ## Authors - [Dr. Ahmed Abuzoor](https://boardmaster.ai/blog/author/dr-ahmed-abuzoor/): Co-Founder & CEO, Physician, MD - [BoardMaster Team](https://boardmaster.ai/blog/author/boardmaster-team/): Medical Education Content Team ## Blog - [21,415 Learners Back a Week 1 Spaced Repetition Plan for Med School](https://boardmaster.ai/blog/spaced-repetition-medical-school/): Evidence first spaced repetition for med school: meta analysis results, a Week 1 plan, rotation ready schedules, and a BoardMaster case study. - [Convert Slides to Exam-Ready Flashcards in 10 Minutes](https://boardmaster.ai/blog/slides-to-flashcards/): Upload slides and speaker notes, generate editable Q&A and cloze cards, then edit and schedule spaced repetition to start practicing the same day, ready... - [Lecture Aligned AI Medical Explanations for Faster Board Practice](https://boardmaster.ai/blog/ai-medical-explanations/): Med students: convert lecture notes into verified board practice using lecture aligned AI medical explanations.
