Gastroenterology board review that teaches reasoning
Board Pearls is a gastroenterology board review platform for physicians and fellows preparing for the GI boards. It is built from the primary guidelines and pivotal trials the exam pulls from, and organized around the clinical decisions you face on exam day.
What it covers
Thirty-six chapters across nine clinical modules: esophagus, stomach and duodenum, small bowel, colon, pelvic floor, liver, pancreas and biliary, endoscopy, and cross-cutting topics.
- •Clinical vignette MCQs in ABIM five-option format, with condition-level wrong-answer explanations.
- •Attending-narrated audio chapters, rolling out chapter by chapter.
- •A chapter-grounded AI tutor for attending-level reasoning on demand.
- •A cross-chapter question bank with system and topic filters.
How it is written
Every chapter is authored from ACG, AGA, AASLD, and ASGE guidelines and the pivotal literature, not a textbook. There is no trivia: every question is a clinical vignette with numeric values and a reasoning decision, and the wrong-answer explanations teach as much as the right ones.
