"This is a concise, detailed review more intense than other review courses I've taken. The concept of questions followed by lectures then more questions keeps me focused."
Marissa Magsino, MD, Orlando, FL

Dear Colleague,

If your Anesthesiology MOC Exam is coming up in July 2012 - no sweat. We have you completely covered with the The Pass Machine Anesthesiology MOC Exam Prep Course, taking place in Chicago on June 6-10, 2012. It comes with our bold (and rightly famous) Triple Trust Guarantee!

Triple Trust Guarantee

This All-Inclusive Course is a Virtual Pass Machine! Here’s Why:

Laser Focused Lectures

Board-experienced faculty will lead you through 5 intensive days of high-yield lectures. To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, we use a lecture approach called "Question-Based Learning." Every lecture is constructed out of a series of board-style multiple choice questions, each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question's topic. This format engages you in the material, increasing your retention in critical areas and helping you crush your upcoming board exam.

Online Practice Exams

As part of your course package, you receive access to hundreds of exam-style multiple-choice questions with explanations! Not only do these practice exams help you identify areas for further review, but you also gain competency in taking exams in the computer-administered format. Every question contains a detailed explanation, so each quiz is a valuable learning exercise.

CME Included

Earn up to 47.5 AMA/PRA Category 1 CME hours by attending. Ask if your residency, group, or employer will cover the costs of this CME activity.

Three Ways to View Lectures Included:

#1 Live Attendance

When you attend the course, you achieve total immersion - you focus on your studies and leave your day-to-day distractions behind.

Live Attendance

#2 Online Lecture Access

After you return home, view all lectures as streaming video on the web from your computer as often as you like, in any order that you like.

Online Lecture Access

#3 Mobile Lecture Access

Convert any spare moment into exam prep. View all the lectures on your iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad®, or Android™ device,* so you can review for your exam anytime and anywhere.

CME Included

So rather than preparing for your exam alone as best you can, why not make a modest investment in your career (that's fully guaranteed) and prepare with the Anesthesiology MOC Exam Prep Course?

I hope you decide to join us! You won't regret it.
