Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About The Pass Machine Geriatric Medicine Board Review
“I received my board scores and passed. I am so blessed and happy. This course gave me so much confidence for the boards. I completed fellowship this year and took boards right away first attempt. It was difficult to study regularly during fellowship because of rotation schedules, research, presentations etc. After fellowship my job started right away. The course made it easy to review as audio lectures were provided to listen on long commutes to work. More board questions gave me more confidence on exam day. I am so grateful I did the course it was well worth it. I did not just pass I did fairly well for me. After leaving the test center I was very confident and I thank the course. Thank you so much.”
Shabaz Nisar, MD, Naperville, IL
“I found the geriatrics review course very easy to integrate into my schedule. The large number of questions for practice was very helpful and a good format over the final couple months of preparation. I have recommended this course to my colleagues.”
Loreen Strope, MD, Coast Mesa, CA
“The course was more than sufficient in preparation and is now a reference for me to use in my practice.”
Karen Josephson, MD, Mapleton, UT
“The course is very complete and organized. The lectures were updated, and the questions are very similar to the Board exam. It really helped me.”
Ileana Aviles, MD, Utado, PR
“This is an excellent review course. I did this to take geriatrics re-certification tests. It has very updated new information in every field and all the teachers are excellent. This review course also provides you with 950 more questions for you to test yourself. It will quickly update you on new medical knowledge and practice advise. It is very worthwhile to participate.”
Shing-shing Yeh, MD, Glenhead, NY
“The Geriatric Medicine Board Review helped me immensely in my preparation for the certification exam. The questions were relevant to the exam. The lectures were especially helpful for revision . They are of good quality and provided a comprehensive review of relevant topics. This course helped me pass the certification exam. I am grateful that this course was recommended to me and I would recommend it to others.”
Shruti Anand, MD, Grand Rapids, MI
“I took my Geriatric Medicine Board 2 years ago and then had to take my Geriatrics board exam the following year. I passed EACH exam with a comfortable margin. I read things from my medical societies that interest me, but it’s so easy to drift away from areas that we also need to know for the test (and real life). I feel like the review program you designed best helped me know where I was weak. This showed me where I could focus my efforts to review the literature. And it worked! I will (and already have) recommend your review program to ALL of my medical associates. Thank you again!!”
Charles Miller, MD, Houston, TX
“It’s hard to cover the entire field of Geriatric Medicine in 4 days, but the API did an overall admirable job of doing so. Some areas were covered particularly well, especially the areas of Geriatric Psych, Dementia, Gerontology, Neuro/GF and endocrine. I liked the question & answer format. It will be very helpful to review lectures and syllabus prior to the exam.”
Linda Schoonover, Hampden, MA
“Excellent course with focus on targeted high value approach to a comprehensive Geriatric Medicine Board Review. Embedding Board-type questions with each talk added value and enhanced learning and allowed me to identify areas of weakness.”
Michael C. Dresser, MD, Jefferson Hills, PA
“The course has been very helpful not only for Board Exam preparation, but has also provided considerable information useful for daily practice.”
John Slutan, Highland Park, IL
“Most of the speakers were high quality. Handouts get to the important points quickly. I feel much more confident going into exam.”
F. Kane, Quad Cities, IA
“Overall it was well organized and well run. It does get to be quite arduous and the breaks and on time schedules were excellent.”
Sharon Petitjean, Newport News, VA
“Would I do it again, yes. Is it perfect—no but it is overall very good and provides a focused question board (based) review.”
Allen S. Funnye, Pasadena, CA

Malathi Aakula, MD, Windermere, FL

Richard Bond, DO, Santa Ana, CA
“One of my residents had some trouble passing IM Boards. After 2 attempts (failures), she called and said she had passed and gave great feedback about “The passing Machine” as the reason for passing. So-When I had to decide whether to take MOC in geriatrics I saw a Pass Machine advertisement for Geriatrics. So I said why not. The course was focused, well organized, on time and I didn’t fall asleep. I feel more confident now—I hope the outcome is similar to my resident.”
Stephan McDonald, Springfield, OH
“Comprehensive, intense, incredibly well coordinated. I feel much more prepared for the upcoming Boards.”
R. Stephan Griffith, MD, Kansas City, MO
FAQs – The Pass Machine Geriatric Medicine Board Review

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.
