- Listen to audio lectures on the app as you commute to and from work
- Answer a few MCQs on your lunch break
- Watch video lectures as you work-out on the stair climber or exercise bike
- Download lectures to your phone ahead of a flight or when out of wi-fi or cellular range
We’re dedicated to helping you pass your boards and that’s why we offer you a better-than-money-back pass guarantee. We don’t succeed unless you succeed.”
Yours in board exam success,

Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About This Course
"I am so glad that I used PassMachine. I've been in sub-specialty training and practice since passing the Qualifying Exam (thanks COVID) and felt like I had forgotten a lot of the details of general practice. PassMachine really helped me focus on what was relevant, important, and high-yield. The video format that I could watch at my own pace was extremely helpful and made me feel so much more confident. I would definitely recommend this course, especially if you have a more narrow scope of practice in real life."
Micaela Weaver, DO, Exeter, RI
"I used Pass Machine for review for the Qualifying and Certifying exams for general surgery. The content was relevant, up to date, and in manageable parcels to facilitate review sessions in the midst of my busy schedule. I did not finish either course (I focused my energies on the areas I felt needed more review), but felt prepared for--and PASSED--both exams. Thanks PassMachine!"
Dylan Davey, MD, Tulsa, OK
“The most valuable asset with the Certifying Exam prep was the structure to follow and to approach all the scenarios with similar methodology. It helped to provide a study guideline and allowed me to make sure that I was prepared for situations that would certain show up on the exam. It was a useful tool.”
Preetha Ali, MD, Seattle, WA
“I passed the exam. This course helped me understand the structure of the exam and witness common mistakes that are made and how to correct them. It also helped me see the importance of technique and not just content. I would recommend this course to colleagues.”
Michelle Haslinger, MD, Denver, CO
“This course was critical to my passing of the oral boards. I was well-prepared and passed the first time around. It is a must for everyone taking the oral boards.”
Everett Bonner, MD, Denver, CO
“I found the courses indispensable for getting me through my written and oral general surgery boards....I'm so impressed, I'm getting the critical care board review with no hesitation.”
Heather Hancock, MD, San Antonio, TX
“Excellent review of multiple scenarios in a short period of time. Course made prep for orals easy. I passed without difficulties – all of my cases were in the review materials”
Jason Bowersock, MD, Lima, OH
“I actually took the course for the written exam back in June, and it was instrumental in me passing the boards at that time. So when it came time for me to choose a course for the Oral Boards, it was a no-brainer that this was the way I was going to go.”
Nathan Kanning, MD, Sand Point, ID
“The course was a nice review and definitely made me feel more comfortable before the exam. And... I passed with flying colors! Phew!”Ashley Egan, MD, Garland, TX
“I passed it was incredibly helpful”
Maged Barry, MD, Chapel Hill, NC
“The materials are great! I am a 5th year resident and my program has mock orals every other month. I was picked last month and I did awesome! I used the materials to prepare, and I felt very confident about going into the exam. The organization is very clear and straight to the point. Explanations are not lengthy and therefore are easy to read and understand, and there is a lot of space to write notes. I am very happy with the self-study materials. I feel I am well ahead of the game and will be very prepared for the real exam at the end of the year.”
Maria Ver, MD, Chicago, IL
