Welcome to AMBOSS!
Created by a team of dedicated physicians, AMBOSS is an interactive library of 20,000+ medical topics interlinked with
a Question Bank with over 5,000 clinical case-based questions. With all the necessary resources in one place, AMBOSS
delivers up-to-date medical knowledge to students, physicians, and faculty around the world.

We developed the Emirates Medical Residency Entrance Examination (EMREE) Study Guide to serve as a comprehensive
checklist of topics you should know EMREE. The guide is based on the latest guidelines reviewed by EMREE supervisory
committee. The topics are linked to the corresponding articles on the AMBOSS platform. Click on each topic to access the
library articles, from which you can navigate seamlessly into the Question Bank at any time.

Please note: to visit the articles, you will need to have an AMBOSS account with access. If you already have an account,
you can log in here. If you’re new to AMBOSS, you can register for a free five-day trial here.
