Dear Colleague,

If your Child & Adolescent Psychiatry MOC Boards are this April - no sweat. We have you completely covered with the Beat The Boards! Child & Adolescent Psychiatry MOC Home Study Prep Course – the course that hundreds of psychiatrists each year credit with their MOC Exam success. It's not surprising given that this course comes with our bold (and rightly famous) Triple Trust Guarantee.

Triple Trust Guarantee

This All-Inclusive Course is a Virtual Pass Machine! Here’s Why:

Laser Focused Lectures

Board-focused faculty lead you through 30 intensive hours of high-yield lectures. To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, we use a lecture approach called "Question-Based Learning." Every lecture is constructed out of a series of board-style questions, each coupled with a mini-lecture on that question's topic. This format engages you in the material and increases your retention in critical exam areas.

Online Practice Exams

As part of your course package, you receive access to 500 exam-style multiple-choice questions with explanations! Not only do these practice exams help you identify areas for further review, but you also gain competency in taking exams in the computer-administered format. Every question contains a detailed explanation, so each quiz is a valuable learning exercise.

CME Included

Earn up to 30 AMA/PRA Category 1 CME hours by attending. Ask if your residency, group, or employer will cover the costs of this CME activity.

Two Ways to View Lectures Included:

#1 Online Lecture Access

View all lectures as streaming video on the web from your computer as often as you like. Because you view the speaker and lecture slides side-by-side, it’s just like being at the live course.

Online Lecture Access

#2 Mobile Lecture Access

Convert any spare moment into exam prep. View all the lectures on your iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad®, or Android™ device,* so you can review for your exam anytime and anywhere.

CME Included

So rather than preparing for your exam alone as best you can, why not make a modest investment in your career (that's fully guaranteed) and prepare with the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry MOC Home Study Prep Course?

I hope you decide to join us! You won't regret it.
