Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The Pass Machine FAQs

What Are The Pass Machine Courses?
The Pass Machine is a family of medical education products specifically designed to help physicians study for and pass their Board Specialty Certification and Recertification exams. The Pass Machine is produced by American Physician Institute (API), a leading provider of medical education courses and study materials. API provides board exam preparation for dozens of specialty and subspecialty board exams. Check out www.AmericanPhysician.com for the full list.
What Sets The Pass Machine Courses Apart From Other Courses?
There are three main differences:

  1. The Pass Machine courses are not just general reviews; they’re tailored specifically to the topics and approaches you need to know to pass your exams.
  2. Each course is a full preparation system that includes hundreds of multiple-choice questions, online lecture review, mobile lecture review, and the course syllabus.
  3. The Pass Machine demonstrates its confidence in its courses and commitment to your success by offering the Triple Trust Guarantee*: if you don’t pass your exam, you get your full course tuition back, PLUS an additional 10% payment, PLUS you get to retake the course for FREE until you do pass.
  4. *Triple Trust Guarantee not available on all courses. Please refer to course for specific details.

Who Produces The Pass Machine Courses? Where Do You Get Your Faculty?
The Pass Machine board review courses are produced by American Physician Institute. API conducts dozens of courses and trains thousands of physicians 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 Reviews 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?
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.
What Is Your Sam.gov Unique Entity ID?
American Physician Institute’s Unique Entity ID is LQWHFPP2KLB8.
Can I Get A Discount For The Course Tuition?
Yes! American Physician Institute offers several board review course discounts:

  1. Group Discounts
  2. Multi-purchase discounts
  3. Referral earnings & discounts through our Ambassador Club
  4. The Residency & Fellowship Program Edition tailored for training programs.

Please visit the “Discounts & Group Sales” pages under the top menu.

What Do I Get When I Purchase An Online Course?
Course enrollment grants you access to your personalized online dashboard, which includes:

  • Audio-visual Recorded Lectures
  • Audio-only Files of the Lectures
  • Downloadable PDF Syllabus
  • Question Bank
  • CME Tests
  • CME Vault for claiming and storing your CME certificates
  • Pass Guarantee
When Do I Receive Online Access To Review Course Materials?
When a credit card or debit is used for payment, access is immediate. When a check is used as payment, access will be granted once the check has been received and verified.
How Long Do I Have Access To My Online Materials? Does My Course Expire?
Your course and all its associated online material remains active up to 12 months from your date of purchase (depending on subscription length at purchase) when you register now.
What If I'm Not Ready To Take My Exam? Can I Extend My Course?
Some doctors invest in a board-preparation course many years prior to their exam. In these cases, The Pass Machine allows course registrants to extend the life of their course by one, three, or 12 months for a reduced tuition. If you wish to extend your course, please email us at Support@AmericanPhysician.com prior to your course expiration date. NOTE: Extension options are not available to Group registrations.
How Do I Get My CME Credits?

After you have viewed all of the course lectures, you can claim your CME credit by completing the course’s online CME Survey. After you complete the evaluation, you will immediately receive a PDF of your CME certificate.

Please email us at Support@AmericanPhysician.com if you need this access information re-sent or you require other assistance.

Triple Trust Guarantee FAQs

This 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. At any time, you can view the Triple Trust Guarantee Terms & Conditions that apply to your course. Why does API have such a guarantee when no other company does? 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 you will receive a free, 12-month subscription renewal. The guarantee ensures API doesn’t get paid for effort, only for results.
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, API will issue a 100% refund of your paid tuition, plus an additional 10% payment, plus a subscription renewal. The guarantee expires in the event the exam for which this course is designed is no longer offered by the certifying board.
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.
