I am thrilled to have passed and extremely pleased with my performance boost. With API's "triple guarantee," how can you go wrong?”
Robert Hill, MD, Omaha, NE
“I passed the pain boards exam and was in the 92nd percentile. My testimonial would be: “API provided excellent material and structure for my studies to prepare for the pain board exam. I would recommend their courses to any physician looking to not only pass but excel at their exam.” Thanks!”
Josh Suderman, MD, Ada, MI

Pain Medicine Recertification Testimonials
“I did take the Pain Medicine Recertification exam in September 2015. Final results were just delivered last week. I am pleased to report that I have passed and was ranked in the 96th percentile. As a physiatrist performing primarily office based musculoskeletal care as well as interventional procedures, I have had very limited ongoing experience with peri-operative pain management; cancer pain management; pediatric pain management; and pain management in the labor and delivery setting. Your course prepared me very well to answer questions in these areas. The printed course materials were excellent in quality and content. The online lectures were easy to access and also of excellent quality. I found the speakers to be very competent and effective. I would highly recommend your courses to others who are preparing for upcoming exams.”
Laun Hallstrom, MD, DuBois, PA
“I am appreciative you definitely helped me pass my anesthesia and pain boards. I hadn't practice anesthesia for 8 years (I do 100% interventional pain management), and your course was extremely helpful and content focused and accurate and I couldn't have passed it by studying on my own. Your course provided proper structure and content.”David Lindley, DO, De Pere, WI
“I failed in 2014, skipped '15, and after taking API's course I passed with a good margin. I also learned some new things that I incorporated into my practice, AND I get more than a year's worth of CME credits too. Highly recommended if you struggle with these onerous writtens like I did.”
Lisa Mancuso, MD, Hartsville, SC
“That was the best course I reviewed. I did it at home at my own leisure. I was able to go back and forth listen to lectures and review material and did question answers. I passed my exam. Thanks to API!”
Muhammad Jilani, MD, Saginaw, MI
“Once again, I passed with your course. Watched each lecture once, took all practice questions once. Passed with ease again! (Anesthesiology last year, Pain this year)”
Sean Growney, DO, Grand Rapids, MI
“Went through all lectures twice, did all questions reviewed weak points scored 382 composite which was 99% so course works!”
Timothy Miller, MD, Bettendorf, IA
“This is just what I needed to pass the ABMS pain boards. The course is thorough and easily followed.”
Hartland Simpson, MD, Bristol, TN
“Took the recert exam and passed easily after reviewing all the lectures. I feel like this course really increased my fund of knowledge as well as prepped me for the test. The website allows for audio, video, and lecture note review and I used all of them. Worth the investment!! Basic science lectures (usually boring) are spot on and clinically relevant.”
Russell Seymore, MD, Daniel Island, SC
“Very useful course and easy to use. I found question based learning modules and practice tests to be very helpful and would use it again as needed. In my opinion it is much more effective than just studying the textbook.”
Vladimir Fiks, MD, Portland, OR
“I found the review course to be broad and covered all of the relative areas of testing, in fact, areas that I thought would be less pertinent were addressed more than anticipated. Thank you”
Bryan Peterson, MD, Morgan, UT
“Great review of the Pain Medicine sub-specialty. I highly recommended as a board prep course or core-topics review in Pain Management.”
Manuel Colon, MD, Fargo, ND
“This course was comprehensive. I did not come across subject matter on my board exam that had not been covered.”
James Murphy, MD, Louisville, KY

American Board of Anesthesiology Covid-19 Update
This information is updated weekly. For the most current update, please visit the ABA website.
The latest as of May 5th, 2021:
Update August 31, 2020: How the MOCA 2.0 waiver impacts your certification. Earlier this year, we waived all 2020 MOCA requirements in light of the extraordinary circumstances presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve created a plan to ensure your certification will not be negatively impacted if you are unable to complete MOCA requirements this year.
All ABA diplomates have been sent personalized emails specific to the certifications they’re maintaining. Please contact us at 866-999-7501 or at [email protected] if you have questions or have not received a message from us.
Update August 24, 2020:Board moves to virtual administration of the APPLIED Exam in Spring of 2021.The Board—which has been working carefully and diligently since May to adapt the APPLIED Exam to meet the challenges presented by the pandemic—has voted to move forward with a virtual administration of the APPLIED Examination in the spring of 2021.
In working to adapt the APPLIED Exam for a virtual administration, our goal has been to maintain the integrity of the exam and assess as many candidates as possible, while avoiding as many preventable technical issues as possible. We acknowledge that, while this solution will not be perfect, we will do our utmost to provide a valid and reliable exam experience for our candidates and our examiners. We plan to return to in-person assessments as soon as it is safe to do so, possibility in the fall 2021.
Update July 14, 2020: Statement from ABA Secretary on the Cancellation of 2020 APPLIED Exams.
ABA Secretary David O. Warner, M.D., explains in the video below our rationale for cancelling this year’s APPLIED Exams and addresses our plans for the future. It is with deep regret that the Board has cancelled APPLIED Exam Weeks 7.5-9. This decision was made in light of travel restrictions ordered by states and cities across the U.S. due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases and out of concern for the safety of our candidates, examiners and staff. In the coming weeks and months, we will continue the work we have already begun to adapt the APPLIED Exam to meet the challenges presented by the pandemic (e.g. risk-mitigation measures for in-person exams and a virtual administration). We will continue to share our 2021 exam plans as they progress.
All candidates whose 2020 APPLIED exam were cancelled will be automatically registered for a 2021 exam. Appointments will be assigned based on the order of this year’s exam weeks (e.g. 2020 Week 2 candidates will be scheduled for an earlier appointment than 2020 Week 7 candidates).

The Pass Machine Pain 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. Every single one of American Physician Institute‘s educational courses has full editorial independence, is free of pharmaceutical and industry sponsorship and is backed by an unbeatable guarantee.

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 PRA / AMA Category 1 CME 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.

Is The Pass Machine Pain 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 a course with a “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.
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.

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 ABA tests you is not the same as the many ways you’re “tested” as a practicing anesthesiologist. 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/
