The Board Exam Preparation Track is designed for physicians taking the Addiction Medicine Board Exam from the American Board of Preventive Medicine.

  • A goal is to improve pass rates by helping test takers focus on high-yield concepts and successful study methods.
  • Presented in question and video format for maximum retention.
  • Topics not covered in presentations will be identified.

It consists of:

  • Video presentations from 2019's Board Exam Review Track in Anaheim, CA (7 CME credits). Expert presenters outline key material and board-style questions on topics covered on the exam, test taking and study tips.  The material is ordered by topic and all questions feature references and explanatory notes. 
  • Interactive Self-Assessment (9 CME credits) featuring nearly 400 updated board-style questions with feedback and/or references for each, organized by topic areas similar to those on the ABPM exam. You may take the quiz multiple times to practice!
    The question bank was refreshed in 2018 by physicians in the field. If you have any questions or feedback about the question bank, please use the "Contact Us" tab above.
