Multimedia Home Study Board Review DVD  2011 - 2014 Edition

The Emory PA Program has produced a unique 36 hour video home study board review DVD available for  Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and MP3 players. Study at home, on the job, on the go. Prepare for  the Boards and earn CME at lunch, during breaks, commuting, or at home. Save travel expenses and time.

 

 

Each lecture consists of a split screen format with a window displaying the lecturers' PowerPoint slides and the other window displaying video of the lecturer. Users can scroll to the slide topic they want to review or just watch the lecture straight through. The Electronic Review is now available for the same price in two formats, as either a Windows XP/ Windows 7/ Vista DVD or a Mac two DVD set.

The DVD format includes the bonus feature of extra MP3 audio-only files of all the lectures that can be uploaded and played on portable MP3 players.  Both sets include a bonus PDA- DVD of video files with narrated power point slides for viewing on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and  some smartphones that play M4V. This allows users  to review 4 ways: On the PC with the speaker video and slides; PDA video of the narrated slides; reading the PDF handouts in print or on screen; and, MP3 audio only for  jogging, car rides, etc.  There are PDF documents including speaker notes, Speaker Pearls, and a Differential Diagnosis Mnemonics handbook.

Each CME copy includes 2 weeks of  online PANCE/PANRE-type practice tests from Exam Master. This is activated by the user when you want to use your two weeks (recommended after reviewing the entire home study).
