Board review that teaches reasoning.
Board Pearls is a board review platform for physicians who are already practicing or in training, built from the primary guidelines and trials the exam actually pulls from. Board Pearls is operated by Daloreum.
Who it is for
The material is written for a clinical audience, not a patient resource and not a first pass through the material. It is aimed at physicians preparing for their ABIM boards, and at clinicians using it for continuing education.
- Gastroenterology: 36 chapters · 1,330 vignette MCQs · narrated audio.
- Internal Medicine: 1,188 topic reviews · 2,392 vignette MCQs.
How the content is made
Everything is authored from primary sources: the specialty society guidelines for each board, pivotal randomized trials, major cohort studies, and regulatory labels, organized by the clinical decisions the exam tests rather than by textbook order. Gastroenterology chapters close with their primary sources in a References section.
Questions are clinical vignettes with real numbers and a reasoning decision, not trivia. Wrong answers are written as genuine reasoning errors and explained. For the full account of how we source, review, update, and correct the material, see the editorial and evidence policy.
