Psychiatry MOC Board Review

Is Beat The Boards! different from other board reviews?

Yes, in three main ways:

1. Beat The Boards! 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, Beat The Boards! 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 Beat The Boards! review easy to incorporate at any point in 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 Beat The Boards! content is exceptional.

*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.

Is it likely that my employer will cover my tuition?

Because all Beat The Boards! courses are approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, it is likely that your tuition will be reimbursed.

Board Exam Results and The Triple Trust Guarantee

Is Beat The Boards! Psychiatry MOC 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 then do not pass your board exam for which the course was intended, 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 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 psychiatrist. The way the ABPN tests you is not the same as the many ways you’re “tested” as a practicing psychiatrist. Check out this reassuring video from Dr. Jack - What To Do If You Fail Your Board Exam https://www.beattheboards.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’m grateful to say I passed and wanted to say thank you to you and all of the other people involved in the course! I was a bit nervous taking it because it had been so long since I’d needed to study for a standardized exam (not since my initial board recertification). I will say going through all of the lectures and the question bank made me feel as prepared as possible. I’d definitely recommend your course to anyone preparing for their board recertification exam. Thank you again.”

Tara Eyma, MD, Astoria, NY

“Only two weeks of preparation which was five days of live course, and nine days which included five business days and two weekends, when I only did online questions made the board recertification exams very easy for me to pass in 2011 and recently in 2022.”

Rahat Aulakh, MD, San Ramon, CA

“My first BeatTheBoards exam prep was back in the day when we did oral exams. I had passed my written but failed the orals. After doing BeatTheBoards for that exam and passing in my next attempt,

I was sold.

Since I also am a child psychiatrist, I also did the written and oral boards with Dr. Jack and passed first attempt.

I did my addiction board prep with BeatTheBoards and passed first attempt.

I attend some of the psychopharmacology courses as well just to keep abreast with information.

My most recent exam was my recertification for Adult Psychiatry. Along with BeatTheBoards I did Board Vitals and The Kauffman course and I was super prepared. I got my results and I was 20 points above the pass mark for this exam.

BeatTheBoards is my go to exam prep course. Every time I take it, I am not only super prepared and confident but I also keep the material for reference and teaching the students who come to my unit. I cannot say enough about Dr. Jack and his team in helping me in my journey as a triple boarded psychiatrist in the USA.”

Sarah Gatumu, MD, Lancaster, PA

“I started subscribing to Dr Jack’s courses to study for my MOC test in Psychiatry eleven years ago. I have since passed my MOC test twice now.

I also use the platform for CME which is a convenient way to satisfy licensure requirements, self assessments/improvement and required modules.

These courses are very structured, contain relevant and current content that is available on demand.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to pass boards and/or stay up to date in their profession.”

Julia Irwin, MD, Norman, OK

“This was the first time I decided to take a board review course. I am a busy geriatric psychiatrist who does not have much free time to study for the boards. I decided to take Jack’s course “beat the boards”. I am so glad I did. I decided to take the combined adult and geriatric psychiatry boards, but to only the adult psychiatry review course. I practice geriatric psychiatry only so I was sort of out of touch with adult psychiatry. The beat the boards course made it so easy to prepare. I completed the MCQs twice, reviewed the entire content twice including the live course that was in Rosemont, IL. Followed every suggestion that Jack suggested on how to study and how to answer the questions, loved the faculty at the live course. Then took a deep breath and took my combined boards and passed with over 88% on both adult and geriatric psychiatry exams. I highly recommend this course to any colleague who is busy and does not have a lot of free time to study for maintenance of certification examinations. Thank you Dr. Jack !! See you again in 10 years for recertification exam.”

Mohammad Shafi Siddiqui, MD, Chicago, IL

“This was a great course and I used it successfully to pass my initial GeroPsych boards and now my combo recertification. The lectures are easy to listen to and questions very solid and similar to the actual test. I highly recommend BeatTheBoards to my colleagues.”

Zach Morairty, MD, Twin Falls, ID

“Outstanding Course. Clear concise to the point! Great review! Supportive Colleagues!”

Mercedes Martinez, MD, Chicago, IL

“This course helped me pass by focusing on topic with the most pertinent and up to date information. I only wished I had of heard of this course more than 2 weeks before the exam!”

Violet Henighan, DO, Philadelphia, PA

“Beat the Boards! was the perfect program to study for the ABPN Psychiatry MOC exam. The lectures were informative and easy to follow, and worked great on both my computer and my tablet. The question bank has definitely well-tailored to the MOC favorite subjects, and helped me prepare for areas I don’t always see in my day to day practice. The questions also worked great on the tablet, which made it great for couch studying! I would recommend this to anyone preparing for the MOC (and I have!)!”

Gonzalo Perez-Garcia, MD, Dallas, TX

“I took recertification exam after taking board review course This course was very helpful and focused on important exam taking tips and reviewed each topic in detail. I attended live course and finished questions that helped me a lot and passed my exam in first attempt. All teaching was so effective and finished my test way early than required time no rush and still good scores. I will highly recommend this course and you don’t even need to touch book after attending course and it covers basically everything which is needed, excellent way of teaching.”

Padma Lassi, MD, Sioux City, IA

“Thank you to Beat the Boards! for helping me to pass my combined MOC (adult and child and adolescent psychiatry) exam! I absolutely could not have done this on my own. The lectures offered the structure and the content review that I needed, and the question bank was very good as well. My favorite part of the question bank was being able to have the versatility of using questions (either as flash cards, or test taking mode), and selecting which areas you wanted to test yourself in. I have already recommended it to a colleague who has to take her exam next year. Thanks again!”

Kathryn Murray, MD, Torrance, CA

“The API course provided all the essential tools to pass well into the 80% percentile. I watched all of the lectures and completed the question bank. I then focused on areas I do not practice regularly, such as child psychiatry and neurology. I highly recommend the course.”

David Sisemore, DO, Sacramento, CA

“This year I was due for my Board recertification for Adult Psychiatry. I also decided to take my Child and Adolescent Boards. For all three exams I took the Beat the Boards! course. I passed all three of them on the first attempt with no problems (recertification in Adult, the written for the C&A as well as the live exam). I heartily recommend the course to everybody. It shortens the time to study tremendously. I work in private practice 40-42 hours per week, I’m a single mom of two busy adolescents and Beat the Boards! made it much, much easier for me. Thank you.”

Daniela White, MD, Houston, TX

“I am writing to inform you of the good news: I passed the MOC Boards! It’s no small miracle considering that at the time I took the exam I had not been practicing for 6 years (after a career detour into interior design) and was the primary caretaker of my two sons, ages 9 & 6. I was sweating bullets about the exam; your three-day course and only 1 week of studying were all I had time for, but clearly it was enough. I want to thank you for your genuine caring and commitment to the attendees of the course, and your thoughtful and informative follow-up emails after the course. My Current practice is up and running, I have the boost of confidence I needed, and I am very grateful. Thanks again, I will not hesitate to recommend your review course to colleagues.”

Scott Lauze, MD, San Francisco, CA

“My review for the Child and Adolescent and General Psychiatry actually started about 4 months prior to the exam date. I believe that the “Beat The Boards” course materials were instrumental in my preparation, and passing the Board examinations. Having taken several practice exams early in the study process, and taking others later in the process my sample/practice tests scores increased by about 20-25% after preview, which clearly made a difference in my knowledge and comfort with the examination process. Topics are covered well enough to extrapolate and make a “good educated guess” on “difficult” questions that are just “really great questions,” and so there was only a very occasional question that was unfamiliar in topic or content. I am pleased with the review in Child and General Psychiatry for the purpose of the Board Exams, and also to improve my current knowledge in psychiatry.”

Gary Rosen, MD, Boulder, CO

“The lectures were very helpful. They are in a very user-friendly format. The quizzes were especially helpful in preparing for the board exam. I did the whole course by webinar and was able to study when convenient for me. And best of all – I passed both the child/Adolescent and Adult Recertification Boards in one day, saving me time & money. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the docs who take his course.”

Rama Thiruvengadam, MD, Kealakakua, HI

“The course was excellent. Having the videos meant I could rewind things I wasn’t clear on as many times as I needed. The course covered everything required to pass the exam and a whole lot more valuable information for daily practice. I would highly recommend it to anyone, not just to pass the boards but to refresh your memory and learn some new information to improve your practice.”

Victoria Soyannwo, MD, Tucson, AZ

“Just like I did 10 years ago after your training/course and I passed my board, I passed my recertification again. Thank you for the over-preparation as the exams came easy and I completed all sections in less than 180 minutes. See you at the Child recertification. Again, thank you and your great staff.”

Olatunde Fatinikun, MD, Sylvania, OH

“I am so happy to let you know I passed my MOC-recertification exam with a very high score of 85% even though the average score for 2016 was 66%. Your course was very useful.I really put in time studying for it. The lectures on each topic was thorough & amazingly comprehensive. Super speakers especially you. The lectures are full of information that is clinically useful. Worth every penny. Best in field. The best education investment I have made. Thank you for this course which made my future dream come true.”

Eliza Wilfred, MD, Philadelphia, PA

“Beat The Boards! is the best review course that I have ever used. Unlike a lot of other review courses, the material was well organized, clinically relevant, allowed for self-assessment, and could be digested in short amount of time. These key elements provided me with the tools to pass the MOC in Psychiatry with flying colors!!! I also use Beat the Boards! in my busy Inpatient and Outpatient Clinical Practice.”

Tongii Shavers, MD, Biloxi, MS

“This course was my main preparation for the MOC exam and provided a focused approach to the material, excellent lectures and good practice questions to help me with the question style. I am grateful for the course and know that its organization and structure helped me pass this exam. I will recommend your course to my colleagues.”

Lorraine Skach, MD, Keizer, OR

“I passed with very high score literally getting 100 % in many. Working as a Chief Medical Officer of a multi specialty group, I never got enough time to read so heavily relied on this course. My scores were even impressive to myself ( a joke ). Very pleased and could not be more pleased.”

Sarfraz Khan, MD, Fishers, IN

“I passed my MOC exam in 02/16. The MOC review course in general psychiatry was very helpful, I liked the format of the review course – it is concise, to the point and relevant- including the pictures and tables. I encourage everyone who is taking the MOC exam to take the course.”

Radosveta Stoyanov, MD, Alto, MI

“I passed my General Psychiatry MOC exam, as a child and adolescent psychiatrist who only sees children and adolescents and patients in their 20’s who I have seen for 10 years or more. The course in Las Vegas in September was enormously helpful – thank you.”

Jenny McKay, MD, Reno, NV

“Beat The Boards! helped fully prepare me. It was user-friendly, easy to follow, outstanding lectures and review, and sample questions were extremely helpful. I scored very high on the MOC Boards, which I would not have passed without your course. I took a couple different courses and the others didn’t compare to Beat the Boards!”

James Manning, MD, Wellsboro, PA

“The courses provided a comprehensive review of psychiatry and geriatric psychiatry. I passed the combined MOC exam on the first try. And just as importantly I appreciated the review of the latest material for my practice. I would definitely recommend the course to others.”

Colleen Connor, MD, Norristown, PA

“Crushed the boards! I am very grateful to the courses and lectures offered by Dr. Jack. I loved being able to listen to the internet courses and playing at 1.6 speed to shorten the time to listen. It was also convenient to rewind when needed. I highly recommend this course.”

Teresa Buot-Smith, MD, Phoenix, AZ

“Just a short note to inform you that the course definitely had an impact on my preparation and it was a very worthwhile experience, since I PASSED THE MOC FOR PSYCHIATRY!!!!! Thanks for your help in this process, which is very much appreciated by this psychiatrist in Puerto Rico!!! Take care and much success in your endeavors!”

Carlos Diaz, MD, Ponce, Puerto Rico

“I took the Beat the Boards course for the Psychiatry written exam. The course was comprehensive and well thought out and presented in a way and at a pace that was easy to receive. It was actually fun. I enjoyed the review, learned a lot and I did actually pass the Boards! Highly recommend.”

Susan Austin, MD, Albany, NY

“I passed my Psychiatry MOC exam with the help of this informative course. It provided me a base for study and a quick reference to go back to for review. The topics included in the course were comprehensive in scope and the lectures were done well.”

Paolo Travers, MD, New York, NY

“I comfortably passed the Combined Adult Psychiatry/Child and Adolescent Psychiatry MOC exam this past Spring. I found the course to be of tremendous help, and extremely useful not only for the purposes of the exam, but in my clinical practice as well.”

David D. Kaminester, MD

“The review course was a terrific review of the changes in current practices and concisely reviewed information that was relevant to the recertification exam. I am very pleased with the course and the outcome on my exam!”

Barry Fisher, MD, Washington, DC

“I took the course and passed. I highly recommend the course, and if you cover the materials, you are guaranteed to pass. I will take it for my Child and Adolescent psychiatry MOC boards as well. Great course!”

Deborah Deas, MD, Charleston, SC

“Class was great! I passed and felt it covered almost everything I needed to know. Have already signed up for the child MOC exam class!”

Niraja Patel, DO, Scottsdale, AZ

Mary Ellen Becker, MD, Denver, CO

Toni Dollinger-Block, MD, Little Rock, AR

“I’m very pleased with the results. I passed Adult and Child/Adolescent Recerts.”

Elizabeth Burns, MD, Waterford, NJ

“I would not have had a chance of passing this exam without this course!”

Robert Robinson, MD, Beaumont, TX

“Passed easily. Great class. Enjoyed lectures and I would like to teach them.”

Edward Chai, MD, Armonk, NY

“The information in your course was probably overly inclusive and at a level more difficult than the exam itself. That being said, I don’t think I would change anything. It served as a really good update as much as an asset for the exam itself. I am very glad I did the online version, because I was more able to focus on the information at home than I would have been in a lecture hall. I felt prepared for the exam and I did well. I had a lot of time left over—even took a nap for 15 minutes, because I went straight through the test without a break and it was tiring. I could have paced myself better. I remember thinking that there were only about 3 questions that I had NEVER heard of. I can’t remember what two of them were, but one was about which personality disorder characteristically does the worst with ECT. I think I missed that one. I would definitely recommend this course to a colleague.”

Marcia Adelman, MD, Lebanon, OH

“The course was as extensive and thorough as I had hoped. It was focused on Board-relevant information that seemed to be the highlights of the talks. All staff were impressive, not only in their backgrounds, but also in their instructional and educational abilities. They seemed real in terms of their genuine interests in our success as well as knowing we all came from different backgrounds and specialties. I feel that I will leave knowing how to monopolize the next 4 weeks before I take the exam.”

Kimberly Kumer, MD, Canton, OH

“I want to thank Dr Krasuski and his team for the wonderful training they did to prepare me for the MOC boards. I was very well prepared to take the combination examination in order to maintain my dual board certifications. The training even provided new information I was not aware of, such as the latest literature in the growing understanding of how the borderline personality develops in adolescence.”

Alfredo Soto, MD, Lake Oswego, OR

“I have attended a Master Pharmacology Course before and I chose to sign up for this MOC review because of my prior experience with this group. Again, I have been pleased with the level of professionalism, courtesy, and hospitality from the staff. More importantly, the course materials are comprehensive. The speakers are knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. The online access to videos/practice exams/materials is superb!”

Marilou Patalinjug Tyner, MD, Charleston, WV

“There is no way I could have felt prepared for the recertification examination without Beat the Boards! I not only work full time in my busy private practice but have a very busy personal life. Beat the Boards! made the review easy by summarizing the details I needed to know. I went into the test room confident that my success in the test was a sure deal.”

Itoro Ibia, MD, FAPA, Reston, VA

“Thank you Beat The Boards! The course was very focused and thorough. I am sure it saved me months and months of study time and eliminated my anxiety about taking a test after ten years. I love that all the material is accessible online; the ten practice exams on the website are excellent. This is a very handy tool – I can even fit in some review time at the office.”

Maha M. Abdel-Kader, MD, Ashburn, VA

“I attended this course in Las Vegas. The course covers every aspect of board recertification. Dr. Jack is an expert in geriatric psychiatry and there were quite a few questions in geriatrics. Due to this course I was able to finish exam in 2 and half hours whereas the allotted time to complete was 6 hours.”

Syed Naqvi, MD, Laurel, MD

“Beat The Boards definitely prepared me for Recertification in Psychiatry. This is the first time I took any tutorial. Dr. Jack and other tutors covered the course materials such a way, it gave me enough confidence to retake the test. It was an absolute breeze. so, Do not sit for your Board without Beat The Board.”

Jayanta Pal, MD, Plainsboro, NJ

“This was an excellent preparation for my Child, Adolescent and Adult MOC Psychiatric Board Recertification Exam. It was easy to follow the comprehensive review. Points emphasized did appear on the exam. After reviewing this course and doing the questions, the board exam felt very easy.”

John Raizen, MD, Norman, OK

“Thank you for this course. Studying effectively on top of a busy practice and trying to have a good work/life balance prompted me to want to take a focused and effective study course – this was perfect. Lots of material covered and good, targeted ways to approach this test.”

Andrew Klompus, MD, San Francisco, CA

“The speakers are great! Very knowledgeable. I like how they all emphasize what are favorite questions on the boards. I also like how we can access the same lectures online, especially for people who have to leave early. I like how they give test-taking tips, including what areas not to spend too much time studying.”

Enrique Lirag, MD, Nazareth, PA

“I attended the course of lectures in Las Vegas in January 2012. Needless to say, both the venue and the course itself were exceptional. I have been in medical practice since 1979, and in Psychiatry specifically since 1996. I was pleasantly surprised at how much new and useful information was offered during this short preparation course. Not only was it focused and targeted to help doctors refresh their knowledge and assure flawless passing of the Board exam, but also brought my knowledge base to a new level for the future years in practice. I would highly recommend it to my colleagues.”

Lolita Aznaurova, MD, Overland Park, KS

“I am quite happy that I decided and attended this review course. I think this course is organized in a better way than many CME courses I have attended. This course is concise, focused and informative. I think this very helpful to practitioners not only to prepare for the exam, but also to update the needed knowledge.”

Timothy Vo, MD, Fargo, ND

“This was better than other reviews I have been to; truly comprehensive. I took this course for the CME credits and the review as I am not yet due to take the exam. I believe it would be helpful for those persons taking their exams, and I will consider taking it again before my exam.”

Lawana Burtnett, MD, Fargo, ND

“Your card came to me when I was looking for a course. I had already taken the course in New York. This course came in as a total surprise. Excellent, Excellent, well organized course. The Faculty is very bright, especially Dr. Krasuski being present at all lectures and very responsive. This was a great help you certainly kept things upbeat for 3 full days.”

Susan George, MD, Bloomfield Hills, MI

“Overall the course presented a large volume of information in a concise and clinically relevant manner. The syllabus was well organized. The presenters helped focus attention to Board relevant topics. The support of the staff was excellent before and during the course. I feel that this was well worth my time and money.”

Rhonda McMillian, MD, Alphretta, GA

“I appreciate the obvious care and respect for the time invested by busy professionals. Dr. Krasuski did an excellent job of keeping speakers & participants focused on the purpose of the course & test preparation. Dr. Krasuski’s clarity and consiseness as a communicator & educator is phenomenal.”

Pam Fobes, MD, Roswell, GA

“This was an excellent preparation for my Child, Adolescent and Adult MOC Psychiatric Board Recertification Exam. It was easy to follow the comprehensive review. Points emphasized did appear on the exam. After reviewing this course and doing the questions, the board exam felt very easy.”

John Raizen, MD, Norman, OK

“I first came to work with Dr. Krasuski ten years ago for my initial certification. Coming to the MOC course was like coming home. Dr. Krasuski has clearly developed and continually improved a comprehensive system. All that is left for your success is your effort!”

Tom DiMatteo, MD, Naperville, IL

“Excellent course that will definitely prepare you for your exam. Well-organized. Greatly appreciate the multiple ways information is presented for learning. As someone who chairs/chaired training/educational committees, I have to say ‘Well Done!”

E. Hogan, MD, Aiken, SC

“I struggled with choosing which course to take and am very happy with my choice. The content and speakers were excellent. I also think the material to be used at home is excellent. I feel my investment of time and money in this course was well-chosen.”

Kimberly Johnson, MD, Pikeville, NC

“It’s reduced my anxiety significantly and I believe I will spend most of my time reviewing the syllabus, and I feel like I’m pretty well prepared then. It was very clear, to-the-point, not a lot of extraneous information, and very good to explain when we didn’t understand something.”

Lynn Thomas, MD, Little Rock, AR

“I have already recommended this course to three psychiatrists that are Board Eligible to gain their certification. If I run across anyone needing to recertify I will do the same. It was an excellent review. Every psychiatrist should have to do it. It is silly to “grandfather” practitioners – the field is changing too fast.”

James Pitts, MD, Visalia, CA

“Beat The Boards is a great avenue to have clinical psychiatry distilled into a bouillon cube of concentrated information. But: you have to set aside the time to digest the information. I wish I had heard about it sooner. The review is really excellent.”

Gia-Evita Lanzano, MD, Wilton, CA

“This course has a high reassurance value. It not only settles the anxiety about the MOC exam, but also provides refresher material. Dr. Krasuski doesn’t want to advertise this, but there was actually a lot of opportunity to update one’s knowledge.”

Sunday Ilechukwu, MD, Northville, MI

“I was impressed by the way Dr. Krasuski pushed attendants to stay beyond lecture hours. It showed he cared for the attendants to pass the exams. Although the hours were long, there was never a sense that the lecturers wanted to end it – Great!”
