IFOM preparation
Study for the IFOM
with Lecturio
The International Foundations of Medicine Examination(IFOM) assesses and compares medical students’ knowledge against an international standard. These results are used as benchmarks towards continued medical education in school as well as promotion towards sitting for the USMLE® Step 1 and Step 2 CK examination. IFOM scores are also used in candidate selections for training programs.
The IFOM assesses medical students’ knowledge against an international standard, both on a basic science level and clinical science level.
- Both exams consist of 160 multiple choice clinical case questions to be completed in 4 hours
- IFOM-BSE (basic sciences) covers Anatomy, Biochemistry, Histology & Cell Biology, Microbiology, Organ systems, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Physiology
