Why SMLE Brain

No more piles of PDFs

Most doctors prepare from a pile of PDFs, screenshots and group chats. The same question turns up in several files, often with a different answer in each.

SMLE Brain puts every question in one place, written out clearly and tagged with its month, its specialty and its topic.

  • Medicine
  • Pediatrics
  • Surgery
  • Obstetrics/Gynecology
  • Ethics

Five specialties with 66 topics under them, from cardiology and neonatology to trauma and preeclampsia.
