Dear Colleague,

Thousands of physicians every year credit the Beat The Boards! course with their board exam success – and it is guaranteed to work for you. Here’s what makes the Beat The Boards! Psychiatry Certification Board Review so effective:
“The course was invaluable as a comprehensive review and consolidation of knowledge for the fields of psychiatry and neurology.” Nikhil Majumdar, MD, Ann Arbor, MI
HIGH-YIELD CONTENT
Laser-Focused Lectures: Content strictly follows the ABPN® Psychiatry Certification exam blueprint. You review only what’s expected on your exam and nothing else.
Neurology Made Simple: The neurology lectures are designed for psychiatrists. They are loaded with visual illustrations and mnemonic devices to speed your learning of this challenging area.
The “QBL” Method: To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, the lectures use a method called “Question-Based Learning.” Lectures are constructed from a series of board-style multiple choice questions, each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question’s topic.
Top-Flight Faculty: Lectures are presented by experienced, board-certified faculty from top teaching universities. Further, our two levels of medical editing ensure every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and 100% board-relevant.

I feel that this course will not only help with the boards, but enhance my clinical practice. A+++++!” Lisa Batson, MD, Louisville, KY
BOARD-STYLE PRACTICE EXAMS
Deep Question Bank: Test your exam preparedness with hundreds of exam-style multiple-choice questions (MCQ). Questions carefully follow the board content outline, so each one is relevant to your preparation.
Realistic Test Environment: Your patients test you every day – but not in the same way the boards test you. Learn how to answer questions in the board exam format. It’s as close as you can get to the real exam!
Optimized for Learning: Every MCQ includes a detailed, referenced explanation. Not only do these practice exams help you learn the “how” and “why” behind every board-style question, but they include the new style of written and video vignette questions that you will see on your Certification Exam.
