I think it’s been really helpful. It helped me sort of identify some of the areas that I can prepare for better for the oral exam.

I think this course is excellent. I’ve taken this course before, for my adult boards. That was last year and I passed it the first time. That was really awesome!

Before the exam, I wasn’t really prepared and I was very anxious, like most of the candidates. But by spending some time here, I think I’m pretty comfortable and confident.

It’s clarified a lot of the pitfalls that people have problems with.

This course was particularly helpful in preparing for the video-vignette portion, which is very difficult to do at home on your own. It also focused on problems and age groups not seen as often in clinic.
-Jana Bingman MD, Draper, UT

Great course! I would do it again. It helped me decrease my anxiety about the exams.
-Constantine Azarcon, MD, Wilmington , DE

Fantastic – excellent review of key topics & strategies for the child & adolescent psychiatry oral board exams; the course provides enough exposure to reduce the stress and anxiety of the boards.
-Rahil Jummani, Floral Park, NY

This is the best e prep course there is. The home study materials are complete, exhaustive, and relevant. The four day course (with mock exams for three days and a lightning review of materials for one day) is the most exhausting four days you will ever spend so usefully – the staff is extraordinarily kind, patient, helpful and knowledgeable. The model exam instructors are universally excellent, accessible and extremely helpful – and Dr. Jack is the magician behind it all. He sees all, does all, and knows all. Thank you (whatever happens!).
-Roberta Hellman, MD, Great Neck, NY

The course is very helpful and a great practice tool if you do not have anybody to practice with. The vignettes are extremely helpful!
-Alejandra Postlethwaite, MD, Calexico, CA

In addition to providing excellent board preparation, this course provided the most valuable CME activity I have ever participated in. It provides a concise and easily understandable review of practically all the topics I need to be familiar with on a daily basisi in my practice. The course helped me learn to focus quickly on relevant information and obtain not only the big picture but also the important details unique to the patient. The live practice is invaluable, and faculty feedback is excellent!
-Virginia Matheson, MD, Dayton, OH

This course is very helpful in refreshing one’s knowledge base. But this course refreshes it in a way that you can assess your short-comings and practice to improve them. It certainly made me realize my blind spots and provided me an opportunity to create better patterns of interviewing, organizing, presenting and verbalizing my knowledge.
-Moshin Khalique, MD, San Ramon, CA

Thanks Jack! This program made me ready to feel confident and ace the exams. Thanks again!
-Farah Pathan, MD, Rockford, IL

Beat The Boards has been greatly appreciated by me. I passed my adult boards – one attempt – and Beat The Boards greatly helped. I’m hoping you’ll continue the program. This is highly recommended not only to pass the exam but also as daily practice in our everyday practice.
- Abiola Haolat Babalakin, MD, Chatanooga, TN

The course was a well organized and well orchestrated, with good support staff. The vignettes covered a wide range of topics which also provided a comprehensive review of many of the less common disorders that can appear on the exam.
It was helpful to watch other candidates and learn from their mistakes, integrate it with feedback from the examiners, and later use it in my own examination.
-Pamela Siller, MD, Flushing, NY

Beat The Boards is the best way to prepare for the Adult Part II and CAP Part II oral exams. The practice is essential and simulates the real exam. I also like the interaction with colleagues – we practice together and support each other during this stressful time.
I took all four courses – Adult written and oral review and CAP written and oral review. I thought they are all excellent reviews. Thank you for helping me prepare for the exam.
-Andrea Uribe, MD, Winfield, IL

The course allowed one to practice organization, which is crucial to passing the exam.
-Jhansi Mead, MD, Richmond, VA

An excellent course. Your investment in learning the material, practicing the vignettes and live interviews makes this course a very positive long-term investment, that I think would enrich your career and work satisfaction for years after you “Beat The Boards.”
-Andrew Kessler, MD, Madison, WI

It is a great opportunity being a part of this Institute. I have seen firsthand that the faculty is trying its best to help doctors become the authority in their chosen branch of medicine.
I honestly wish for this Institute to grow bigger than this. God bless you.
-Titus Okunlola, MD, East Meadows, NY

I had no idea about how to present the video for the oral exam. Not only have I learnt how to do a thorough MSE of a child on a 10 minute video, but this will be valuable to me in my clinical practice as well. I am confident about my interviewing technique, case formulation, diagnostic abilities and assessments. I personally would not go to the boards without attending this course. Jack Krasuski is committed to helping candidates pass these exams. His honesty and integrity are sincerely appreciated.
- Kirti Saxena, MD, Dallas, TX

The course is relevant and highlights pertinent aspects of the exam that candidates need to be aware of. The class size is small enough to benefit maximally.
- Lorraine Wharton-Mohammed, MD, Lakewood, NY

The thing I liked most was that the course was tailored to all three aspects [i.e., the adolescent patient interview, video exam, and vignette exam sections] of the Child Boards, because the way information is presented at the exam is different and can be very confusing. American Physician Institute for Advanced Professional Studies’s approach, while it considers every section different, provides a method that is flexible, universal and coherent. Also, being made of smaller groups sparks good discussion, feedback, support and even networking.
- A.W., MD, Connecticut

The [Beat The Boards!] course struck the right balance between didactic/syllabus materials and actual in vivo test practice. Loved the summary notes. I found it very helpful; it served as a wake up call for me that I'll need to do more mock oral exams before I take the exam. It will enhance my note-taking skills, my conciseness of clinical interviewing and the way I conceptualize treatment (I will relate treatment to syndromal problems more).
- Manal Soliman, MD, Indian Harbor Beach, FL

I had my doubts coming in since it was the first course. But I'm glad I attended. I feel I am prepared to take on any video and vignette. Great work by Drs. Friedman and Krasuski.
- Nasim Shajihan, MD, Sewickley, PA

This course has helped me focus on improving key areas in preparing for the child oral boards. In particular, there is a method to this madness, especially with the video and vignette portion of the exam. I would recommend it highly.
- John Rose, MD, Washington, DC

This course was fabulous! I learned a review of concepts which were not covered during my fellowship despite I had the blessing of training in one of the top 10 nation fellowships. No child fellowship is complete enough to provide everything we need to be the best child psychiatrist possible. Meeting with so many successful faculty and colleagues provide me with an intense child psychiatry “boot camp.” This experience will not only help me with my boards, but throughout my career. The relationships I’ve developed with faculty and colleagues are a blessing I will take with me for life. Thank you to Jack and to all of your staff.
