Psychiatry Certification Board Review FAQs
Is The Pass Machine different from other board reviews?
Yes, in three main ways:
1. The Pass Machine board review is the most comprehensive option. More than just a Question Bank of practice questions, each course includes in-depth lectures in a familiar classroom setting presented by expert faculty. This means you get a topic-by-topic review of exactly what’s on the board exam in much greater detail than what you can get from QBank answer explanations.
2. Because the physician’s schedule is typically a hectic one, The Pass Machine is optimized for on-the-go review. Components such as the audio-only lecture option, iOS and Android app for mobile review, and offline access capability, and a fully illustrated board-mapped study guide make The Pass Machine review easy to incorporate at any point your daily routine.
3. The Triple Trust Guarantee not only gives you a full refund of your paid tuition* if you don’t pass the exam the first time after taking the course, but it also gives you an extra 10% and a free subscription renewal. This unprecedented guarantee serves to assure you of the confidence we have that The Pass Machine content is exceptional.
*Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.
Who produces The Pass Machine Courses? Where do you get your faculty?
The Pass Machine board review courses are produced by American Physician Institute for Advanced Professional Studies, LLC (API). API conducts dozens of courses and trains thousands of physicians each year to pass their boards and stay up to date in their fields. Every single one of American Physician Institute‘s educational courses has full editorial independence, is free of pharmaceutical and industry sponsorship and is backed by an unbeatable guarantee. Because of its reputation for excellence, American Physician Institute is able to enlist many of the top faculty from the best universities, teaching hospitals and research facilities in the country to provide you with Category 1 CME educational activities.
Do you provide board review for other medical specialties?
Yes! In fact, we provide preparation for dozens of other specialty and subspecialty board exams. Check out www.AmericanPhysician.com for the full list.
Is it likely that my employer will cover my tuition?
Because all The Pass Machine courses are approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, it is likely that your tuition will be reimbursed. You may be surprised at how many residency and fellowship training programs, group practices, and other employers pay for or reimburse you for such Category 1 educational activities. After all, it’s in everyone’s best interests to have you board certified. It really pays to ask your training director, medical director, or administrator if you are eligible because some training programs and employers do pay for board exam training. And, if you work for the Federal Government, American Physician Institute is a certified business in the CCR database and can accept government checks and credit cards.
Does The Pass Machine offer any free board review resources?
Yes! Start with our Medical Board Review Blog. There are general articles featuring board prep tips, and articles on board prep that are more board specific.
What is your Sam.gov Unique Entity ID?
American Physician Institute’s Unique Entity ID is LQWHFPP2KLB8.
Can I get a discount off course tuition?
Yes! American Physician Institute offers several board review course discounts:
- Group discounts
- Multi-purchase discounts

- Residency & Fellowship Program tailored for training programs

- Triple Trust Guarantee
Is The Pass Machine Addiction Medicine review pass-guaranteed?
Yes, all full courses are pass-guaranteed, and backed by our Triple Trust Guarantee. At any time, you can view the Triple Trust Guarantee Terms & Conditions.
What does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover?
If you purchase a course with a “Triple Trust Guarantee” and fail the board exam for which this course is designed, API will issue a 100% refund of your paid tuition*, plus an additional 10%, plus free subscription renewal. The guarantee expires in the event the exam for which this course is designed is no longer offered by the certifying board.
* Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.
The Triple Trust Guarantee sounds too good to be true—is it for real?
Yes, it’s completely real. Rest assured, API has always honored its guarantees and always will. The Triple Trust Guarantee is API’s way of demonstrating that it’s just as invested in your success as you are. After all, if you fail your board exam, API will pay a penalty. API will refund your course tuition in full, provide you with a 10% bonus, and provide you with free subscription renewal. The guarantee ensures API doesn’t get paid for effort, only for passing results.
Does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover non-tuition course options and upgrades?
No. Course options and upgrades are non-tuition related. Therefore, these fees are not included in any guarantee-related refund payment made under the terms of the Triple Trust Guarantee.
What should I do if I don’t pass my board exam?
First, it’s important to remember that a non-passing result is not necessarily a reflection on your abilities as a physician. The way the ABPM tests you is not the same as the many ways you’re “tested” as a practicing physician. Check out this reassuring video from Dr. Jack – What To Do If You Fail Your Board Exam https://www.thepassmachine.com/video-what-to-do-fail-your-board-exam/
More to the point, American Physician Institute can work with you to help you get over this professional hurdle. Give us a call!
I didn’t pass my board exam. How do I activate my course guarantee?
To activate your guarantee, you must notify American Physician Institute of your failure to pass your board exam and submit a copy of your exam notification and scores. To be eligible for the refund portion of the guarantee you must submit your documents within 45 days of the date of your exam fail notification.

Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About The Pass Machine Addiction Medicine Board Review Course
“The Pass Machine was the perfect tool for the ABPM Board exam. I was able to watch lectures on specific topics, use the study guide to write and review notes, and utilize the many questions to hone in on the topics that I needed to work on. I passed the exam after completing all of the content available to me – and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to sit for the boards. Very organized, great high yield content, and a receptive team whenever questions were asked.”
Francis Averill, MD, Rancho Mirage, CA
“The Pass Machine courses have helped me pass my boards every time! This was my 3rd board exam. I wasn’t sure I passed after walking out of the testing room, but I ended up with a solidly high score. I didn’t have time this time to repeat the questions until getting them all correct (which I prefer), but I did get through them all, and it was enough. The questions were more helpful to me than the lectures but I did appreciate them when I had the time and for more difficult subjects.”
Sally Boeve, MD, Tucson, AZ
“I was advised to purchase Beat The Boards! by my mentor, an Addiction Psychiatrist, who had already passed both Addiction Medicine and Psychiatry board exams with the help of this course. I felt the videos were the perfect length and the questions and syllabus were very helpful in my studies. I have advised my trainees to use this for the boards as well and they have been successful as well.”
Jasmine Shell, MD, Augusta, GA
“I am so grateful for API and Dr. Jack! The Addiction Medicine board prep course was fantastic. I could not have passed the exam without it. I would recommend API to anyone who is preparing for the Addiction Medicine board exam!”
Radhika Chimata, MD,Downers Grove, IL
“I found this course to be very comprehensive. Watching the videos, doing the question blocks and then having the syllabus for review was helpful during my board prep. The videos are also the perfect length of time.”
Jasmine Shell, MD, Augusta, GA
“Fantastic course! I recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming certified in Addiction Medicine. It is useful even if you don’t plan on getting certified but have an interest in helping patients with substance use disorders.”
Randolph Baca, MD, Albuquerque, NM
“I think everything about this course was very helpful to me. The video lectures the PDF notes, but even most importantly, I think the test questions which I used for the last few weeks daily before my board exam I think, really prepared my mind to get ready for the format of the test and I think all in all that this is an excellent aboard preparation tool. Thank you so much.”
Joel Nunley, MD, Tulsa, OK
“I looked at other courses. However, this course seemed one stop place for lectures and questions with highest pass rate advertised. The lectures come in various media formats including a mobile app which turned out to be a great way to take the course on the go! I listened to the videos, read the pdf lectures, did the questions and repeated the missed questions until I got mostly right. And I passed! Questions may seem difficult but ultimately they will prepare you! This is the course to take if you want to pass on your first attempt!”
Seung Kim, MD, Raleigh, NC
“The course was very helpful for me to excel on the Addiction Medicine Board Exam. The question bank and the explanations were significantly close to the style of the Board questions. I highly recommended this course for everyone preparing for this Board exam.”
Samir Rizk, MD, Knoxville, TN
“API was excellent choice of board exam review. I took the April 2021 Osteopathic Addiction Medicine Board Exam and passed with slight margin. The videos were much better quality and slides easier to review than ASAM’s board review videos. Thank you API for helping me to pass my board exam on first try.”
Christine Kuo, DO, Roseville, CA
“I received my addiction medicine exam results from ABPM today and i just want to let you know that I passed. I want to thank you and the faculty. Without your program I wouldn’t have been able to do. I actually learned more from the lectures, aside from preparation for the exam.”
Michael Solomon, MD, Atlanta, GA
“Took exam in October 2020 through ABPM pathway. Still waiting for the results. Course very well organized with excellent questions. Still a good source of information as I am continuing seeing people in D&A clinic. I hope being better prepared especially for my patients!!!”
Diana Cozma, MD, Philadelphia, PA
“I just found out that I passed the American Board of Addiction Medicine exam, and feel that the American Physician Institute course can take the credit for this. Once again, it offered a concise, time-efficient way to study for the exam, and in the most palatable format possible! The test wasn’t too difficult after taking the course, and I feel I was overall well prepared.”
Heidi Klingbeil, MD, South Orange, NJ
“The API course was a very valuable time saving and organizing tool to review a large volume of material. In my case, I allotted less time then ideal to this review. Had I not had the API materials, I would not have been able to manage the volume. Very well organized course. I passed.”
Daniela Samoil, MD, Lake Oswego, OR
“My Addiction Medicine Board Review Course provided by American Physician Institute (API) was instrumental in helping me mount a recovery after failing an earlier board certification exam attempt. I needed a to make up a major gap in my board preparation which required several months of study and the API course helped me gauge the width and depth of the project. Presenters were very knowledgeable. Scope of the presentations was perfect. This was the most comprehensive of the four courses I used and the most beneficial. Please keep up the great work and thank your staff for their boundless support.”
Dan Stuckey, MD, Katy, TX
“The best courses out there for the board exams. Indispensable when prepping for the boards and/or keeping up with your knowledge base.”
