Our Story

The Med Finals Question Bank Built for NZ & Australia

We couldn't find a question bank that reflected how medicine is actually practised in Aotearoa New Zealand. So we built one.

Preparing for NZ medical finals, we found ourselves using question banks built for the UK or US, full of drugs not funded by PHARMAC, guidelines from NICE instead of BPAC, and clinical pathways that simply don't match what New Zealand doctors do.

So we built our own. MedFinals is a med finals question bank written specifically for New Zealand and Australian medical students in Years 4โ€“6 and as trainee interns. Every question references real NZ clinical guidelines: BPAC, PHARMAC, Health NZ, Starship protocols, and Te Whatu Ora resources.

Questions are written in a clinical vignette style that mirrors what appears in NZ finals: management-focused, evidence-based, and calibrated to the difficulty students actually encounter.

What makes MedFinals different

Built from the ground up for the NZ and Australian curriculum.

๐Ÿ“‹

NZ guidelines, not NICE or UpToDate

Every explanation cites BPAC NZ, PHARMAC, Health NZ, or Starship: the actual guidelines NZ doctors use.

๐ŸŽ“

Written by people who sat the exams

Questions are written and reviewed by NZ and Australian medical graduates who understand what finals actually tests.

๐Ÿฅ

Management-focused vignettes

We prioritise clinical decision-making over obscure pathophysiology, exactly what examiners reward.

โœ…

Distractor reasoning included

Every wrong answer has an explanation, so you understand why it's wrong, not just why the right one is correct.

๐ŸŒ

Culturally relevant

Questions reflect the patient demographics, diseases, and social determinants of health relevant to Aotearoa New Zealand.

๐Ÿ”„

Actively maintained

New questions are added regularly as guidelines change and new topics are added to the NZ curriculum.

What's covered

The question bank spans all major NZ MBChB specialties and is continuously expanded.

Why NZ-specific questions matter

In New Zealand, first-line hypertension treatment, diabetes management, antibiotic choices, and screening programmes all differ from the UK and US. Studying from a generic question bank means learning the wrong drug doses, wrong referral thresholds, and wrong first-line choices for your exams.

MedFinals is written around what NZ doctors actually prescribe, order, and recommend: PHARMAC-funded medications, BPAC clinical pathways, and Health NZ care guidelines.
