The Winning Approach to CourseLectures

 

http://beattheboards.com/images/btb/JKstanding.1.jpgTHE NEUROLOGY REVIEW (20 Hours): Our neurology faculty will lead you in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand review that focuses ONLY on the aspects of neurology covered in the exam. The lectures are interspersed with board-style multiple-choice questions to illustrate teaching points and to deepen your retention. The courses are loaded with visual illustrations and mnemonic devices to speed your learning of this challenging area. Based on lessons learned from our earlier courses, we have extensively revamped our lectures to make the learning of neurology as easy as possible.

We call our approach the “Neurology Made Simple” Method. We’ve scoured books and interviewed academic neurologists to compile the best teaching practices to speed your learning. Because of the clarity of our focus on fundamentals, you'll be amazed at your progress.

THE PSYCHIATRY REVIEW (20 hours): Just as in The Neurology Review, our psychiatry course faculty presents ONLY the information needed for your Part I Examination. In fact, the lecture content is calibrated so that the amount of lecture time at the course is proportional to the number of questions on the board exam, and each lecture includes multiple-choice, board-style questions.

Please Plan On Joining Us – You Won’t Regret It!
Rather than preparing for your exam alone as best you can, why not prepare with the Beat The Boards! sychiatry Part 1 Board Exam Home Study Course?

Call 877-225-8384 to register today. And remember that your investment in your exam preparation is Triple Triple Triple Guaranteed, so the risk is on us and not on you!
