Pain Medicine Continuing Certification Longitudinal Assessment (MOCA Minute)
The Pain Medicine Continuing Certification Longitudinal Assessment, also known as the MOCA Minute, is a program designed to help physicians maintain their certification in Pain Medicine. The MOCA Minute is designed to keep your knowledge up-to-date and relevant, making it a more dynamic and continuous form of assessment compared to traditional exams.
To meet the ABMS Standards for Continuing Certification, the ABA MOCA program is transitioning from a 10-year cycle to a five-year cycle. Board-certified anesthesiologists certified before 2024 should meet the requirements of the 10-year cycle to remain in good standing. Physicians will enter the five-year cycle when their current 10-year cycle expires. All newly certified board-certified anesthesiologists will use the five-year cycle.

Pain Medicine Board Review Faculty
Remember, the American Board of Anesthesiology 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 Pain Medicine Exam Blueprint dictates.
Read What Your Colleagues Are Saying About The Pass Machine Pain Medicine Board Review
"First of all, I passed the pain medicine recertification board examination! The PassMachine via American Physician Institute provides numerous lectures and mock exam questions. I don't believe I would have passed the examination especially cramming 96 hours of lectures and only a few mock exams over 4-5 days just prior to the examination. I wound not recommend this approach. I would have had greater mastery had I taken at least 3-4 months of allowing more time to avail of the numerous mock exams and lectures in a more relaxed situation. Judging from the questions asked at the re-certification exam I took, there were a number of exam questions I credit this review course for answering correctly.
I highly recommend this course! I also recommend that you DON'T CRAM!"
Everton Edmondosn, MD, Houston, TX
“The practice questions really prepped me well to learn all of the material which you would encounter on the actual exam. Do all of the 1000+ questions, take notes and you will be well prepared. As a busy physician, time is of essence. The testing preparation provided is KEY to learning what you need to learn in a short amount of time!!”
Vikas Pilly, MD, Buffalo, NY
“Went through the lectures and the questions twice over a period of three months. Learned a great deal and the exam seemed so much easier. I’m a physical medicine physician who has been boarded in the ACGME board for pain since 2004. I appreciate the intensity the review allows. I’m now certified till age 78 as long as I continue my certification in physical medicine and rehab! Thank you very much!”
Frank Bender, MD, Indianapolis, IN
“I enrolled in the course based on a personal recommendation. I devoted enough time to review all materials twice. I appreciated the portability of the program and the ability to study on my own time and at my own pace. I noticed a significant improvement between my in-training exam and my actual board scores! 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
“Some lectures were a bit slow but I can't complain, I nailed the boards with an 88 percentile score! This was all I used to study.”
Daniel Halpert, DO, Culpeper, VA
“This is a great course. Excellent and sufficient material to pass. I highly recommend this course.”
Mogin Antoine, MD, Miramar, FL
“Pertinent and succinct information delivered in different modalities for different learning types. Easy to follow and keep your learning on track. Overall a great model for board studying!"
Virginia Hardie, MD, Omaha, NE
“Very thorough course. Sufficient to pass the exam.”
Joshua Horowitz, DO, Nashville, TN
“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 Pain Medicine Board Review course was comprehensive. I did not come across subject matter on my board exam that had not been covered.”
James Murphy, MD, Louisville, KY
“Excellent! Highly recommended. I listened to the lectures during my commute, jogging and the repetition was extremely helpful.”
Gilberto Carrero, MD, Nashville, TN
“Prepared me well. Finished test over an hour ahead of schedule. Highly recommend it for boards preparation.”
Robert Orr, MD, Kansas City, MO
“Excellent Pain Medicine Board Review course! The review materials reflected topics covered on the exam.”
David Russo, DO, Hood River, OR
“The course material prepares you well to pass the test! Excellent review!”
Linka Matos, MD, San Juan, PR
“The review course was very helpful. I would recommend it.”
Mandeep Powar, MD, Lake Havasu City, AZ
“Excellent!”
Claudia Camacho, MD, Bullhead City, AZ

FAQs – The Pass Machine Pain Medicine Board Review
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 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 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 free subscription renewal. 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 anesthesiologists 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. Because of its reputation for excellence, American Physician Institute is able to enlist many of the top faculty from the best universities, teaching hospitals and research facilities in the country to provide you with Category 1 CME educational activities.
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 AMA PRA Category 1 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.

Board Exam Results and the Triple Trust Guarantee
Is The Pass Machine Pain Medicine review pass-guaranteed?
Yes, all full courses are pass-guaranteed, and backed by our 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 fail the board exam for which this course is designed, API will issue a 100% refund of your paid tuition*, plus an additional 10%, plus free subscription renewal. The guarantee expires in the event the exam for which this course is designed is no longer offered by the certifying board.
* Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.
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. 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 provide you with free subscription renewal. The guarantee ensures API doesn’t get paid for effort, only for passing results.
Does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover non-tuition course options and upgrades?
No. Course options and upgrades are non-tuition related. Therefore, these fees are not included in any guarantee-related refund payment made under the terms of the Triple Trust Guarantee.
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 anesthesiologist. 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/
More to the point, American Physician Institute can work with you to help you get over this professional hurdle. Give us a call!
I didn’t pass my board exam. How do I activate my course guarantee?
To activate your guarantee, you must notify American Physician of your failure to pass your board exam and submit a copy of your exam notification and scores. To be eligible for the refund portion of the guarantee you must submit your documents within 45 days of the date of your exam fail notification. To notify American Physician and submit your documents, go to your course dashboard, and click on the "Guarantee" tab. Complete the form and attach your exam notification and scores. You will receive an email confirmation of receipt, and someone will contact you shortly. If you need assistance with this process or your course access is expired, please contact Customer Care at 877-225-8384

In these cases, The Pass Machine allows course registrants to extend the life of their course by up to 12 months for an additional fee. If you wish to extend your access, please call 877-225-8384 prior to your course expiration date. NOTE: Extension options are not available to Group registrations.
