HIGH-YIELD CONTENT

LASER-FOCUSED LECTURES: The Pass Machine Infectious Disease board review course will help you master the ABIM^® exam material quickly and easily. This course features a comprehensive library of short video lectures that are precisely aligned to the Infectious Disease Certification and Infectious Disease MOC exam blueprints. This way, you’ll focus on all of the exam topics and keywords with no wasted effort.

THE “QBL” METHOD: “Question-Based Learning” ensures that your review is 100% relevant to the ABIM^® Infectious Disease exam. This proven method works by pairing multiple choice questions with related lectures, allowing you to review a topic before answering the corresponding question.

BOARD-EXPERIENCED FACULTY:  The Infectious Disease Certification and Infectious Disease MOC courses feature board-certified faculty experienced in teaching Infectious Disease board exam preparation. Thus, every lecture is up-to-date, medically accurate and entirely board-relevant.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE STUDY GUIDE: This course companion makes it easy to follow along with lectures, take notes, and study offline. The PDF includes the complete course syllabus, with all referenced slides, photos, illustrations, and infographics.
