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.

+ Do You Provide Reviews For Boards Other Than Internal Medicine Certification?
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?
You may be surprised at how many residency and fellowship training programs, group practices, and other employers pay for or reimburse you for 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 CCR database and can accept government checks and credit cards.
+ Can I Get A Discount For The Course Tuition?
American Physician Institute offers group discounts for residents and fellows and individual discounts through our Ambassador Club (see below). Please call 877-225-8384 for more information on these discounts.
+ What Is The Ambassador Club? How Does It Work?
When you register, you automatically become a member of the American Physician Institute Ambassador Club, which helps your colleagues benefit from your Board Review Course experience. If your colleagues mention your name when they call to register, they’ll each receive a $52 discount on their first Board Review Course registration and you’ll receive a $52 check.

Why $52? API recognizes that your referral saves about $104 in advertising costs, and they think it’s only fair to pass those savings along to both of you. There’s no limit to the goodwill and gratitude you’ll inspire among your colleagues, and there’s no limit to how many colleagues you can refer. You can make referrals across specialties, too!
