Dear Colleague,
Imagine the peace of mind that you’ll experience once you’ve passed and this immense exam is behind you.
Thousands of physicians every year credit The Pass Machine course with their board exam success – and it is guaranteed to work for you. Here’s what makes The Pass Machine Emergency Medicine Qualifying Board Review so effective:
“This is the best summation of all the salient topics in Emergency Medicine on the market – bar none!” Keith Waggoner, MD, San Antonio, TX
HIGH-YIELD CONTENT
Laser-Focused Lectures: Content strictly follows the ABEM® Emergency Medicine Qualifying exam blueprint. You review only what’s expected on your exam and nothing else.
The “QBL” Method: To ensure pinpoint exam relevancy, the lectures use a method called “Question-Based Learning.” Lectures are constructed from a series of board-style multiple choice questions, each coupled to a mini-lecture on that question’s topic.
Top-Flight Faculty: Lectures are presented by experienced, board-certified faculty from top teaching universities. Further, our two levels of medical editing ensure every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and 100% board-relevant.
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE ACCESS

“This was an intense, focused review. Maximum use of my time. Full of high-yield facts.” Lisa Barr, MD, Ligonier, PA
BOARD-STYLE PRACTICE EXAMS
Deep Question Bank: Test your exam preparedness with hundreds of exam-style multiple-choice questions (MCQ). Questions carefully follow the board content outline, so each one is relevant to your preparation.
