Built by doctors,
for doctors.
A question bank built and refined by the South African medical community - reviewed by qualified doctors, continuously improved with feedback from every exam cohort.
Built around one editorial standard.
Passmed started in 2017 as a question bank for postgraduate medical exams. From day one we've focused on the exams South African doctors actually sit - CMSA Fellowship, HPCSA registration, and dentistry - with content built by clinicians who've sat the same exams.
What sets us apart is what happens after every exam cohort. We continue to improve and refine our question banks based on the feedback we get from candidates who've just sat the exam - what came up, what didn't, what tripped them up. What you say matters, and we build off our community.
The editorial bar hasn't changed: every question is reviewed by qualified doctors in the relevant specialty before publication, with content mapped to the official CMSA, HPCSA, or college curriculum and revised continuously based on exam-taker feedback.
The principles behind every question.
Clinical accuracy first
Every explanation is sourced from current South African clinical guidelines, EML, and CMSA curricula, and reviewed by qualified doctors before publication. No outdated content. No invented teaching points.
Time-respecting
Trainees and students don't have spare hours. Our analytics, adaptive sessions, and weak-topic tracking exist to make every minute of revision count.
Curriculum-driven
We only include questions on the official blueprint. If it's not on the CMSA, HPCSA, or university curriculum, it's not in our bank. No filler, no chaff.
Supporting doctors across 6 countries.
Passmed serves medical students and doctors-in-training in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, and South Africa - across the major postgraduate pathways and medical school finals.
What started as a single question bank in 2017 has grown into a multi-market platform with one editorial standard: every question is reviewed by qualified doctors in the relevant specialty, mapped to the official CMSA, HPCSA, or equivalent national curriculum, and revised continuously based on exam-taker feedback.
