Pediatric Anesthesiology 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 Pediatric Anesthesiology 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/

“This was a very helpful course! I could listen to lectures from the physicians who wrote the book that the exam was based on and do it at my own pace. Easy to listen in my car, at the gym, anywhere, and as many times as I needed. Very comprehensive! The question bank then allowed me to solidify the concepts and recognize key phrases and patterns for the exam. Highly recommended!”

Michael Gardner, MD, Avon, OH

“Thank you for putting together a thorough and interesting course for the Pediatric Anesthesia Board review. Most of the lecturers and lectures were clear, informative, and presented in a way that did not put me to sleep. Online access to the lectures and materials were easy and quick. The website was very user friendly. I was just notified last week by the ABA of my “passed” result on the Pediatric Board Exam. I do not know if I’ll have to retake this exam in 10 years, but I know I’ll be looking at your course again if I do.”

Tony Ho, MD, Huntington Beach, CA

“This was an effective way to organize and focus study for the peds anesthesia board exam. All aspects of the course were excellent: lectures, written syllabus, and practice questions. I’m always surprised at how hard questions can be even though I’ve studied and know the material! Test questions are invaluable in preparing! The course prepared me very well for the exam.”

Karen Paddock, MD, Gold River, CA

“This is an amazing study guide for any pediatric fellow to use at the beginning of their fellowship and throughout their entire career. Even though the content can help you with your certification exam, it is an excellent tool to use to help teach others pediatric going to see here.”

Paul Nguyen, MD, Santa Ana, CA

“Excellent program! The Pediatric Anesthesia course was a great compilation of lectures and speakers. The questions were very relevant, although many were harder than the actual boards questions. Passed the Peds Boards with flying colors! I am already a repeat customer. A few months later I took my MOCA recertification test, used API again, passed no problem. Thanks again!”

Susanne Rupert, MD, Buffalo, MN

“I passed using The Pass Machine. It was extremely helpful to listen to lectures and not have to travel. The practice exams were very helpful and there are few materials out there that have pediatric anesthesia board questions. I wouldn’t have passed without it!”

Michelle Petrie, MD, Orange, CA

“I passed my boards with a high grade. Lectures were very helpful. This is the first time that I ever purchased a review course. It was very helpful. Lectures were on point specially for those of us who don’t do cardiac. Question bank was very helpful. Felt very confident after I took the course. Thank you so much”

Georgette Gilda Alexis, MD, Jarco, NY

“This course helped me pass the exam. Material in the lectures and questions were very pertinent to what was on the exam. Without taking the course, I would have gotten many more questions wrong. I liked that the lectures were broken down by subject and very organized along with the questions . I would recommend this course to my colleagues in the future.”

Carolyn Abbasi, MD, Rediands, CA

“Pass machine was the only study aid I used to enable me to pass my pediatric boards on the first attempt. The lectures were not only helpful for exam success, but also to improve my clinical practice!”

Catherine Gruffi, MD, New York City, NY

Becky Wright, MD, Collierville, TN

“I was very pleased with the course. I scored in the 85th percentile. The lectures were packed with good information and the quizzes were a good review. If you want to leave no doubt about passing the exam, take this course.”

Michael Panger, MD, Charleston, WV

“I absolutely recommend this Pediatric Anesthesiology Board Review course. It was as if the sample questions were ‘lifted’ straight out of the actual board exam, but just worded differently. It was FABULOUS. Plus the course ‘zeroed’ in, on what was really needed, in order to pass the course. I highly recommend it. Worth EVERY DIME!”

Gayne Brenneman, MD, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

“If I had not done this Pediatric Anesthesiology Board Review course, I’m pretty sure I would have failed the exam. The online course allowed me to study in my own time, at my own pace. The actual audio-visuals were excellent. I am recommending this course to my colleagues.”

Sana Ullah, MD, Dallas, TX

“The way this course is organized, the completeness of presented material, and practice questions, in my opinion, make it the best for preparation for the Pediatric Anesthesia board at this time. Also I did find it helpful in understanding of some concepts in general and cardiac pediatric anesthesia that I was lacking before. Highly recommend it without reservations.”

Mikhail Kruglyakov, MD, Parkland, FL

“For a busy practicing physician who may not want to commit to the expenses, time, and financial loss of traveling to a review course, and who wants to be most time-efficient in exam preparation by having a concise course content that can be reviewed multiple times in a self-paced manner, this format and program is a fantastic option.”

Napoleon Burt, MD, Southlake, TX

“API offered a thorough review for the Pediatric Anesthesiology Boards. There were lectures I could view online at my pace, along with hard copies of the notes from the lectures to view and take my own notes. The practice exams are invaluable – I could take them as many times as I wanted, and the explanations for the answers really improved my understanding. I felt like I really benefited from this course, and I will use it again in the future!”

Amanda Froment, MD, Cary, NC

“I boarded in 3 fields of medicine and trained at Brigham and Women’s for my anesthesia residency and have taken several boards over the years. This was hands down the most useful board review I have ever taken. It was spot on the money and the question bank alone was worth the money.”

Chris Duperier, MD, Houston, TX

“I am 64 years old and close to retirement. It was very difficult to go back to studying for an exam but the Pass Machine course is laid out in a very logical and professionally produced series of lectures and questions. The format resonated with me in a way that made the review enjoyable and extremely worthwhile. It is the most efficient learning experience I have had in my life! Highly recommended!”

James Houck, MD, Amherst, NY
