Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry 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.

Who produces Beat The Boards! Courses? Where do you get your faculty?

Beat The Boards! board review courses are produced by American Physician Institute for Advanced Professional Studies, LLC (API). API conducts dozens of courses and trains thousands of psychiatrists each year to pass their boards and stay up to date in their fields. Every single one of American Physician Institute‘s educational courses has full editorial independence, is free of pharmaceutical and industry sponsorship and is backed by an unbeatable guarantee. Because of its reputation for excellence, American Physician Institute is able to enlist many of the top faculty from the best universities, teaching hospitals and research facilities in the country to provide you with Category 1 CME educational activities.

Do you provide board review for other medical specialties?

Yes! In fact, we provide preparation for dozens of other specialty and subspecialty board exams. Check out www.AmericanPhysician.com for the full list.

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. You may be surprised at how many residency and fellowship training programs, group practices, and other employers pay for or reimburse you for such Category 1 educational activities. After all, it’s in everyone’s best interests to have you board certified. It really pays to ask your training director, medical director or administrator if you are eligible because some training programs and employers do pay for board exam training. And, if you work for the Federal Government, American Physician Institute is a certified business in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and can accept government checks and credit cards.

Does Beat The Boards! offer any free board review resources?

Board Exam Results and The Triple Trust Guarantee

Is Beat The Boards! Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry 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.

More to the point, American Physician Institute can work with you to help you get over this professional hurdle. Give us a call!

“Beat the Boards helped me pass both exams with ease; I would not consider taking the boards without Dr. Jack Krasuski's courses and lectures, which more than prepare for the exam, they help me become a better clinician. I really like the way the course is played out, with videos, printed material and review questions. It is quite manageable and very well explained and an appropriate level. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!”

Warren DePonti, DO, Lexington, KY

"Thank you, Dr. Krasuski for putting this education program together and helping me prepare for this difficult exam. I’m writing this knowing already that I’ve passed the boards. Thank you for your help."

Lidia Kelpacz, MD, Mt. Kisco, NY

"This has been the most succinct informative way to learn I have participated in during my 30 years of practice.. I personally told Dr. Krasuski that his tone of speech was, “Gentle, Loving, and Succinct” which helped to fulfill my passion of medicine. Jack, please read this excellent review!"

Jane Jackson, MD, FAPA, Kensington, MD

"Great. God bless us by giving Dr. Jack Krasuski to us and guiding him to do this for the sake of doctors and mankind."
