The challenge
The Swiss board exam in general internal medicine (SGAIM): 120 questions in a fixed time, and a licence that depends on the result.
- The exam covers the whole breadth of clinical medicine, from emergencies to rare diagnoses. Textbooks do not tell you what SIWF actually asks.
- 120 questions in 300 minutes leave about 150 seconds per question. Speed has to be trained, not hoped for.
- The question style is specific: clinical scenarios, best-answer choices and distractors that look right.
- Working full time leaves little room to plan revision, and a retake costs months of waiting and another exam fee.
How MediFlow solves it
- A question bank built on the published content of SIWF, organised by topic, so you know what matters.
- Timed mock exams in the real exam format train your pace before the real day.
- Every answer is explained, including why the other options are wrong.
- A study plan up to your exam date tells you what to do each day and brings weak topics back for review.
