Reviewed & Updated Every Day
Most board prep is written once and left to age. Rheumify is different. I personally review questions every day — sharpening explanations, fixing anything a user flags, retiring what's outdated, and adding new questions as guidelines and trials change.
When a guideline updates or a trial changes practice, the questions change with it — not in the next edition, but right away. You're always studying the current standard of care, from someone who treats these patients and teaches this material.
— Dr. Alison Bays, MD, board-certified academic rheumatologist

Rheumify Question Bank
Rheumify Question Bank
The most comprehensive web-based platform for rheumatology fellows preparing for ABIM board certification. Every question is AI-drafted, then curated and reviewed by a board-certified academic rheumatologist — pairing the breadth of AI with physician judgment for accuracy. Includes both a question bank and spaced-repetition flashcards.
Each question comes with a detailed, per-choice explanation and, where relevant, references linked to the primary literature on PubMed — so you can verify the answer and read further. Over 600 board-style questions and 700+ flashcards cover all of rheumatology, reviewed and updated daily.
Rheumatology fellow or trainee? Your rate is $15/month or $119/year (verification required) — see fellow pricing.

Keeping high-quality board prep affordable is a core commitment at Rheumify — not a limited-time launch discount. A full year of Rheumify still costs less than most competitors charge for a few months, it's updated every day, and it's backed by name by the board-certified rheumatologist who built it.
Rheumatology fellows and trainees pay even less — $119/year (or $15/month), verification required.
