A pragmatic plan that runs alongside your approved DTM&H course (which itself usually spans several months).

A 27-year-old backpacker develops bloody diarrhoea 3 weeks after travel through rural India. Stool microscopy reports cysts resembling Entamoeba, but the laboratory cannot distinguish pathogenic from non-pathogenic species. What is the most appropriate investigation?
Why iatroX is built differently for DTM&H.
Every iatroX item is tagged to a blueprint topic, so your performance dashboard mirrors the structure of the exam itself.
The engine surfaces your weakest topics first, in real time, instead of marching you through a static syllabus.
Incorrect items return at increasing intervals to interrupt the forgetting curve and lock knowledge into long-term memory.
Timed full-length simulations that mirror the official exam structure under realistic conditions.
One iatroX subscription includes the DTM&H bank, the Socratic Tutor inside supported sessions, and every other premium iatroX exam bank.
