Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About This Course

Your program was exceptional! Not only did I brush up on needed review material, but I actually scored 50 points higher than my last recertification and scored a 100% on the Emergency Medicine section of the board! Thanks for creating such a comprehensive program

Damon Christian Kimes, MD, Conyers, GA

Well, I finally heard from ABEM and I’m very happy with an 85, Pass. In fact, it is one point better than 2005 and I have been out of mainstream EM for 15 years. I have been working in urgent care since 2000 and I must say a lot of material has changed or is new since leaving EM. For example, I’ve never used RSI nor bedside U/S. One of your test taking tips was to jot down anything new and research it on the internet so I did a lot of that. I also had 4 pages of pearls to review a couple of days before the test. I listened to each speaker two complete times and enjoyed the rewind and slow/fast toggle. Each of the speakers were well prepared and I learned a lot from each one. I probably will not take your course again at age 72 although I said 10 years ago I wouldn’t try to recertify in 2015! I felt like much of the material was from LLSA’s and I would have studied them more on my own had I thought about it sooner. Obviously your course prepared me for the ConCert or I would not have passed it. I studied very long and hard from the videos and the binder. I did think the practice test questions were much more in depth than the lecture material presented. I would recommend your course because it saves money not having to travel and you can study at your own pace. This is way too much material for me to absorb in a week long endurance run. The main reason I took your course was your track record. Everyone passed last year and that can’t be challenged. Thanks to all for helping me maintain my certification for another 10 years.”

Stephen Parks, MD, Greer, SC

“Having been 14 years out of the specialty, it became clear that I needed a dedicated review system to help review important topics in EM. I found the courses informative, insightful in strategy test taking, and amazingly helpful in reviewing topics we rarely see yet need to know. I entered the CONCERT with confidence and learned last week that I easily passed. It does take time to review the material, yet this did not involve a live course during my study. I used the videos and power points to build my knowledge base and took many exams to assure successful understanding of the material. Thanks API!”

Marlin Schul, MD, Lafayette, IN

“I have been practicing urgent care medicine for the last 8 years, after 25 years in the ER, and I wanted to recertify. I looked at a few courses and decided on The Pass Machine not only for the content but also the promise to refund my tuition if I didn't pass. I needed as much help as I could get because I don't see complex cases anymore and haven't for a while. I found the Pass Machine to be convenient to my schedule, reviewing lectures when I could and then repeating the more complicated ones. The lectures were concise and the information was up to date, and presented in a more informal and entertaining way. I particularly enjoyed the cardiology lecture, which can be a dry topic but this presenter really kept my attention. Also, the practice questions were very pertinent and helped me decide the topics I needed to give more attention. When it came time to take the exam, I felt I had confidence and reassurance that I could actually pass it, especially after I had been out of the ER for so long. This was probably my last recert exam and I am very thankful that with the help of The Pass Machine I passed.”

Patricia Cook, MD, Apple Valley, MN

“I found this course to be well-attuned to the ABEM Recertification Exam. It defragged my brain and set me in a will-pass-the-exam frame of mind! And I did pass! I also received a high passing grade. Thank you Jack et al.”

Victor Estraba, MD, Woodbury, CT

“I attended The Pass Machine course in Chicago in August of 2011 and took the Board exam October 4, 2011. Other than reviewing the notes and lectures, I did not do any other preparation for the Board exam. Besides working full time in the ER, I had 6 children under the age of 12 at the time, so as you can imagine, not much review took place! I am convinced that attending the course alone enabled me to pass the test. This was my third recert (and last!), so I have attended other review courses. This was far and away the best.”

Beth Lux, MD, Green Bay, WI

“My experience was a little different because I hadn't done emergency medicine for several years, so I had to be able to review quickly and thoroughly. I also wasn't able to go to the course. The review book and the on-line material were excellent. I even took the book camping in Boundary Waters, MN. When the ConCert exam came, I passed with an 87%. Thanks for having a great review course!”

George Nobile, MD, Louisville, K

“Passing the boards, my fourth time with ABEM, is a big relief. I credit the American Physician course ( on-line lectures and printed materials ) as having served me well. Your course gave me a single-source way to review the necessary topics in a comprehensive way, and I found home-access very convenient. It's lengthy---it's a mountain of material to tackle---but the speakers are well-chosen and the subjects well-organized. The cost is not insignificant but where else could you get something this solidly put together? It is a good value.”

James L. Brewer III, MD, Lovingston, VA

“Excellent course! I entirely credit The Pass Machine with my passing the ConCert exam with 83% score. Not bad for a last minute study anchored solely on the combined Pass Machine 2011 and 2012 courses. For me it was as good as the OHIO ACEP and NEMBER courses that I took for my previous re-certifications. Thanks a million Jack and all your team.”
