Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About This Course
"This program worked wonderfully to prepare me for the critical care boards. I love the video series, especially those given by Dr. Raj. The number of questions is much higher than the other major prep course and made it possible to cover a broader range of topics. I enjoyed listening to the videos on my long commute."
Curtis Converse, DO, Colton, CA
"This was my third sub-specialty (Sleep, Pulmonary, Critical care) recertification board exam in 3 years. I decided to try The Pass Machine for Critical care and I was not disappointed. There's a lot of material there, so this program is meant for people to start early. I'm glad I did it."
Mike Alter MD, St. Paul, MN
"The course helped me in preparation of all my boards, critical care being the most recent. The Q bank is very good. Also the lectures are educational, and helped both in practice and exams"
Revathi Bhat, MD, Overland Park, KS
"I used the course as my primary study aid for the critical care boards. I felt like the videos were concise and to the point--very high yield. The question bank was extensive and relevant. The pdf's for each lecture were easy to review the content quickly the last few days before the test. Loved the course and will continue to recommend it!"
Kyle Chapman, MD, Morgantown, WV
“This is the second The Pass Machine course I have used and I couldn’t be more pleased. The vast majority of the lectures are very useful for taking the exam but, more importantly are helpful in patient care, which after all, is the ultimate goal. My score on the critical care medicine exam was 90th percentile.”
Kris Lahren, MD, Mosinee, WI
“I did great on the CCM board exam. I enjoyed how I could watch lectures online any time and as many times as I needed. I also appreciated all the handouts with each lecture so that I could go back and review certain items quickly. As for the questions, very pertinent to the exam and effective at getting teaching points across. I don't know what I would have done without this online prep course! Thanks so much!”
Kristy Poonyagariyagorn, MD, Portland, OR
“I have taken The Pass Machine, and the lectures and course material are excellent and well-organized. The test questions are often the favorite part of the program. The program gives one the confidence and ability to review and find one’s weakness to better explore. Great job, and I definitely recommend the program. ”
Richard Prager, MD, FCCP, Pinecrest, FL
“I have very limited time to dedicate to Board recertification, like most of us. API’s review course was the most efficient way to perform this onerous task. The lectures increased my confidence that I can pass the exam.”
Paul Guentert, MD, South Bend, IN
“Used the program as primary source for study. Great course. Bought my son the anesthesia series. Passed his boards with flying colors. Now a family tradition. 2 others taking recert soon.”
Barry Lankhorst, MD, Sioux Falls, SD
“It was really important that you had us introduce ourselves to our neighbors. It made the days a lot more fun! This is my second course and both were excellent.”Phillip Cozzi, MD, Elmhurst, IL
“This was an outstanding course. The speakers were extremely well-prepared, and the presentations were focused and clinically-relevant.”
Gifford Lorenz, MD, Savannah, GA
“Excellent course for time-challenged physicians like us, as it covered the most important topics for board review in a few days.”
V. Hathwar, MD, Virginia Beach, VA
“Good course with a good question bank which was very helpful for the boards”
Tabarak Qureshi, MD, Longwood, FL
“Simply wonderful course. Targeted, focused, and clear. I would do this again. Thank you!”
Edward Thomas, MD, Virginia Beach, VA
“Great course. A very comprehensive review of critical care material.”
Evan Moore, MD, Salt Lake City, UT
Critical Care Medicine MOC Testimonials
“I credit this course for preparing me well for the CCM MOC exam. I believe it was one of the most important reasons that I scored a perfect 800. I highly recommend this course. The multiple practice exams available were very helpful leading up to the actual exam date.”
John Fitzgerald, MD, Carrollton, TX
“The course was fantastic! It was concise yet thorough. It hit every relevant topic for the exam and also was an excellent review of the latest literature. Though it was geared specifically for the exam, it also helped me in clinical decision making for real life patient care. I plan on using The Pass Machine for all my ABIM recertifications (ie, Internal Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep) in the future. You can't go wrong with The Pass Machine, especially with their unique triple guarantee. I recommend everyone taking this course.”
Harish Kakarala, MD, Akron, OH
“Your team at The Pass Machine ROCKS!! I took 2 of your recertification courses (Pulm and CCM ) about 4 weeks before the exam.....And passed BOTH of them TOGETHER!!! YOOHOOO!!! Your course was precise, well-focused, to-the-point and "just-in-time" before the exam date. Most of all, it provided me a peace of mind that I had at least reviewed everything important for the exam in time. Thank you so much for providing such a valuable service”
Jameel Durrani, MD, Center Valley, PA
"This is my eighth board exam (4 boards with recertification), and for the first time I saw questions on the exam that were discussed in the board review course! The course was really board exam-focused; it covered all the topics. It was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it.””
Salah Aboubakr, MD, Springfield, IL
“The Pass Machine helped me study appropriately for the Nov. 2012 critical care boards. The lectures were very good and well presented. I have already recommended the course to others. I am so impressed that I am now studying for the Pulmonary recert even though I hold a lifetime certificate. Thanks again.”
Gene Thomas, DO, FCCP, FACP, Mexico, MO
“I was actually hesitant about attending, as I felt I could spend this time away from work studying questions/practice tests. However, I am glad I attended, as most of the topics had what I was looking for: 'This is likely to be on the boards’ and ‘This is the way this topic is likely to be presented in a board question.”
C. Hebert, MD, Baton Rouge, AR
“Cost- and time-efficient critical care review for the busy practitioner. Lectures are focused, timely, and geared to material that needs to be mastered for success on recertification boards.”
Elizabeth Schupp, MD, Chicago, IL
“Good overview and great course right before critical care exam.”
Askin Uysai, MD, Tampa, FL
“Very well organized. Speakers very clear and didactic.”
Jorge Ortiz, MD, Sudbury, MA
“The program has been a great study guide helping me focus on high yield topics with the limited time I have to study for my recert critical care boards.”
Victor Mandoff, MD, Little Rock, AR
“Preparation was spot on! There was nothing on the exam that was not covered in the course. Highly recommend.”
David Halinski, MD, Vicksburg, MS
“Excellent course which covered all of the important topics. I felt very prepared for my exam.”
DEdward Salerno, MD, West Hartford, CT
“Outstanding and it is the best course I have in this field.”
Jay Bayasi, MD, Chandler, AZ

The Pass Machine Critical Care Medicine Board Review – Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions about The Pass Machine and American Physician Institute
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 Andriod 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 tuition refund if you don’t pass the exam the first time after taking the course, but it also gives you an extra 10% AND allows you continued access until you pass, for free. This unprecedented guarantee serves to assure you of the confidence we have that The Pass Machine content is exceptional.
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.

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.

Board Exam Results and The Triple Trust Guarantee
Is The Pass Machine Critical Care Medicine review pass-guaranteed?
Yes, all full courses are pass-guaranteed, and backed by The 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 an online course with “The Triple Trust Guarantee” and then do not pass your board exam, API will issue a 100% refund of your paid tuition *, plus an additional 10% payment. You’ll also continue to get online course access until you pass the exam, tuition-free. 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. No other company does? 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 bonus, and allow you continued access to the course tuition-free until you pass your exam for as long as the exam is offered by the certifying board. 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 ABIM 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 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. To notify American Physician and submit your documents, go to your course dashboard and click on the "Guarantee" tab. Complete the form and attach your exam notification and scores. You will receive an email confirmation of receipt and someone will contact you shortly. If you need assistance with this process or your course access is expired, please contact Customer Care at 877-225-8384

In these cases, The Pass Machine allows course registrants to extend the life of their course by 12 months for an additional fee. If you wish to extend your access, please call 877-225-8384 prior to your course expiration date. NOTE: Extension options are not available to Group registrations.

Tips for Critical Care Board Review Prep
Preperation is the key to having confidence for your critical care board exam. Here are some last minute tips you can use:

- Focus on High-Yield Topics: While it’s important to have a broad understanding of critical care medicine, some topics are more high-yield than others. Focus on topics that are frequently tested, such as respiratory failure, sepsis, shock, and hemodynamic monitoring.
- Join a Study Group: Consider joining a study group or finding a study partner. Collaborating with others can help you stay motivated, clarify confusing concepts, and share tips and strategies for success.
- Take Care of Yourself: It’s important to take care of yourself during the exam preparation process. Get enough rest, eat well, and take breaks to avoid burnout and maintain your focus.
