"Absolutely fabulous, well-constructed, detail-oriented board review course, delivered by dedicated and committed lecturers."
Sushil Sompur, MD, Salt Lake City, UT

Dear Colleague,

If your Psychiatry Part 1 Written Exam is coming up in May 2012 - no sweat. We have you completely covered with the Beat The Boards! Psychiatry Part 1 Exam Home Study Prep Course. Every year hundreds of psychiatrists such as yourself credit this course with their Written Board 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-experienced faculty will lead you through 54 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 multiple choice questions, each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question's topic. This format engages you in the material, increasing your retention in critical areas and helping you crush your upcoming board exam.

Online Practice Exams

As part of your course package, you receive access to 1000 Psychiatry and Neurology 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 54 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.

The Winning Approach to Course Lectures

THE 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 (34 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.

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 Psychiatry Part 1 Exam Prep Course?

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