A Message from the President

There is nothing more annoying than going through huge textbooks with razor thin pages and fine print when you are under the pressure and time constraints of preparing for the boards. When I was studying for my boards I wanted to use material that was concise, relevant to the boards and a quick read. I didn’t need a book that was going to teach me medicine, that’s what residency was for. I needed material that was going to tell me the bottom line of what I needed to know to pass the boards. This kind of material did not seem to exist, so it was out of my own frustration that Medtext was born in the spring of 1990.

The original vision of Medtext was to provide practice questions for the Anesthesiology boards that were the same caliber as the actual examination. A few years later the question books started to include remembered questions that former customers would voluntarily share with us, then a study and test-taking system was added. By 1993, it was obvious that Medtext had created something unique that was in demand. Since that time the scope of Medtext’s vision has broadened dramatically.

Good luck on your exams!

Sincerely,

Gregory A. Smith, M.D.
President
