Program Overview

The GWU Infectious Disease Board Review 2026 QBank + Primers & PPTs combines two complementary approaches to board preparation: active question-based learning and focused topic review.

The interactive QBank allows learners to work through 533 board-style infectious disease questions, each supported by a written explanation.

Questions can be filtered across 17 infectious disease categories, allowing learners to concentrate on a single subject or combine multiple topics into customized testing blocks.

The QBank also preserves the original question-set organization so learners can work through Question Sets A–E and a dedicated Short HIV Therapy set.

The accompanying primers provide concise review material covering several high-yield areas such as:

• Antifungal resistance
• Rickettsial and tick-borne infections
• Infectious dermatologic differential diagnosis
• HIV drug resistance
• Clinical microbiology
• Antibacterial resistance
• Antiviral resistance
• Outpatient antibacterial therapy

Together, these resources create a board-review workflow that emphasizes knowledge acquisition, active recall, clinical reasoning, and repeated assessment.

Interactive QBank

533 Board-Style Questions

The QBank contains a total of 533 infectious disease questions.

Each question includes a written explanation designed to help learners understand the correct response and reinforce the clinical concept being tested.

Original Question Sets Included

The QBank preserves the original question-set structure:

• Question Set E (HS) — 100 Questions
• Short HIV Therapy Questions (HS) — 33 Questions

Total: 533 Questions

Written Explanations

All 533 questions include written explanations.

The explanations support active learning by allowing users to review the reasoning behind each question after answering and identify areas requiring additional study.

127 Image-Based Questions

The QBank contains 127 questions with clinical images.

Image-based material may include clinical photographs, microbiologic images, radiographic findings, scans, or other visual information associated with infectious disease diagnosis and board-style clinical reasoning.

This component is especially useful for practicing questions in which visual interpretation contributes to diagnosis or management.

17 Infectious Disease Topic Filters

The QBank organizes questions into the following infectious disease categories:

1. HIV, AIDS & Opportunistic Infections
2. Zoonoses, Vector-Borne & Tick-Borne Infections
3. Transplant & Immunocompromised Host
4. Mycobacterial Infections – TB & NTM
5. Mycology & Fungal Infections
6. Respiratory Tract Infections
7. Genitourinary & Sexually Transmitted Infections
8. Antimicrobial Agents, Stewardship & Resistance
9. Gastrointestinal & Intra-Abdominal Infections
10. Parasitology, Travel & Tropical Medicine
11. Infection Prevention, Vaccines & Public Health
12. Virology & Viral Hepatitis
13. Bone, Joint, Skin & Soft-Tissue Infections
14. CNS Infections
15. Cardiovascular Infections
16. Sepsis, Bacteremia & Healthcare-Associated Infections
17. General Infectious Disease

Flexible Topic Selection

Before beginning a question block, learners can select the infectious disease topics they want to practice.

Users can:

• Select a single infectious disease topic
• Select multiple topics
• Combine topics into a customized question block
• Select all topics
• Deselect topics
• Practice using the original Question Sets
• Practice Short HIV Therapy Questions separately
• Target weaker subject areas
• Create broad mixed-topic board-review sessions

This structure allows the QBank to function both as a comprehensive examination resource and as a targeted learning tool.

Study Modes

Learning Mode

Learning Mode is designed for active study.

Learners answer a question and can review the result and written explanation as they progress.

This mode is useful when the primary objective is knowledge acquisition and immediate feedback.

Timed Exam Mode

Timed Exam Mode allows learners to practice question blocks under time pressure.

It is useful for:

• Building examination pacing
• Practicing time management
• Reducing dependence on immediate feedback
• Simulating more formal examination conditions

Board Experience Mode

Board Experience Mode provides a more exam-oriented workflow for learners who want to practice the QBank in a format closer to a board examination session.

It can be particularly useful later in preparation after learners have completed topic-based review.

Results and Progress Review

The interactive system helps learners assess performance after completing question blocks.

Study features include:

• Overall question-block results
• Topic-based performance review
• Question review
• Review of incorrect questions
• Identification of weaker infectious disease areas
• Progress tracking
• Repeated practice

This allows learners to convert QBank performance into a targeted study plan.

Interactive PPT / Slide-Based Study Material

The package also includes interactive PPT-style primer and study materials designed to complement question-based learning.

Rather than relying entirely on static question practice, learners can move between topic review and active testing.

A practical workflow is:

Study the Topic → Review the Primer/PPT → Attempt Questions → Read Explanations → Identify Weak Areas → Review the Material Again

This approach allows the package to function as both:

• A board-style question practice system
• A focused infectious disease review resource
