“I’m in downtown Chicago to highlight the anytime/anywhere/offline flexibility of The Pass Machine course. This Geriatric Medicine prep course features 32.5 hours of laser-focused lectures and a 700+ question Q Bank. But here’s the rub – all that great content will do you no good if you don’t get through it in time for the exam. Here are a few examples of the ease of preparing with The Pass Machine: 1) listen to audio lectures on the app as you commute to and from work, 2) answer a few MCQs on your lunch break, 3) watch video lectures as you work-out on the stair climber or exercise bike, and 4) when you know you’ll be on call without Wi-Fi or cellular signal, download lectures to your phone ahead of time. Works great on flights as well!
Here at American Physician Institute we’re dedicated to your board success. 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,
Jack Krasuski, MD, Executive Director

HIGH-YIELD CONTENT
Laser-Focused Lectures
The “QBL” Method
Board-Experienced Faculty
Detailed Study Guide
Laser-Focused Lectures: The Pass Machine Geriatric Medicine board review course will help you master the ABIM® exam material quickly and easily. This course features a comprehensive library of short video lectures that are precisely aligned to the Geriatric Medicine Certification and Geriatric Medicine MOC exam blueprints. This way, you’ll focus on all of the exam topics and keywords with no wasted effort.
The “QBL” Method: “Question-Based Learning” ensures that your review is 100% relevant to the ABIM® Geriatric Medicine exam. This proven method works by pairing multiple choice questions with related lectures, allowing you to review a topic before answering the corresponding question.
Board-Experienced Faculty: The Geriatric Medicine Certification and Geriatric Medicine MOC courses feature board-certified faculty experienced in teaching Geriatric Medicine board exam preparation. Thus, every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and entirely board-relevant.
Geriatric Medicine Study Guide: This course companion makes it easy to follow along with lectures, take notes, and study offline. The PDF includes the complete course syllabus, with all referenced slides, photos, illustrations, and infographics. (Printed version also available at checkout.)
BOARD-STYLE PRACTICE EXAMS
Comprehensive Q Bank
Realistic Test Environment
Optimized for Learning
Comprehensive Question Bank: Included with this course are 700+ Geriatric Medicine multiple-choice questions (MCQ). Each question carefully follows the ABIM® board exam content outline and format, allowing you to test your exam preparedness while advancing your command of the exam content.
Realistic Test Environment: Your patients test you every day – but not in the same way the ABIM® Geriatric Medicine boards test you! You’ll prepare by taking practice tests in a format that’s just like the actual exam.
Optimized for Learning: Unlike other Q Bank MCQs, The Pass Machine Geriatric Medicine practice questions include detailed, referenced explanations. So you’re not only testing your knowledge of geriatric medicine – you’re learning the “how” and “why” behind every question.

Board-focused Faculty
Remember, the American Board of Internal Medicine tests you on the entire breadth of your specialty, beyond what’s practical in your day-to-day. Let our knowledgeable faculty guide you through a comprehensive review that covers exactly what the Geriatric Medicine Exam Blueprint dictates.
The Pass Machine’s Stress-Free Board Prep
The top FAQ we receive is, “How do I best prepare for the board exam?” Since prep differs for each person, our Geriatric Medicine Board Course accommodates many learning styles:
- Highly organized lectures AND extensive Q Bank
- Online study AND live course attendance
- Solo study AND colleague interaction
- Smart phone app AND desktop access
Why this depth of options is crucial to success:
- Your days are hectic and study time is limited. The Pass Machine course makes every minute count by providing only highly board-relevant and board-reflective content. Anything not relevant to the exam has been stripped out leaving you with only the nuggets.
- Integrating information is improved when consumed in multiple ways: Our substantial Q Bank allows you to learn from completing 700+ multiple choice questions with explanations. But answering questions is often not enough to fully master the material. That’s why the course includes 32.5 hours of systematically-organized lectures so the pieces easily fall into place.
- Anywhere, anytime, and offline access increases time spent preparing, thus increasing your chances of success. The Pass Machine Geriatric Medicine Course can be accessed through our desktop Learning Management System and our synched smart phone app, the latter allowing uploading of course material for use when Wi-Fi or cellular signal is not available.

Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About This Course
“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 Board review. Embedding Board-type questions with each talk added value and enhanced learning and allowed me to identify areas of weakness.”

Geriatric Medicine MOC Testimonials
“I’m still waiting for my exam results, but this course has helped me to prepare for my exam very well. This was my second attempt for Geriatrics Boards and this time I was confident that I could answer the questions. The good thing about this course is that it can be used until the candidate is able to pass the exam.”
Malathi Aakula, MD, Windermere, FL
“I took the AOBFP Geriatric Medicine recertification exam on March 19, 2016 and passed with a high score of 95%. I found the online course to be a great overview of Geriatric Medicine. The multiple choice practice questions definitely sharpened my test taking skills.”
Gary Baiocchi, DO, Gwynedd Valley, PA
“The course was not only a valuable means of passing the board but also was a comprehensive way to understand Geriatric Medicine. It covered all aspects of geriatric disciplines, easy to understand and apply to your daily practice. I took the course online and it was very easy to follow at my convenience. it has helped me to pass the board and has increased my knowledge in geriatrics.”
Sissay Awoke, MD, Washington, DC
“I took the geriatric recertification exam on October 1. I just received notification that I passed. that makes two ABFP exams that I have passed with the Pass Machine. Thank you for the opportunity and success in my endeavors.”
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.”
