I passed this time around. Appreciate the help you provide with board prep. I have tried other courses and yours is the best in my opinion.

-Ultimate Package & OSCE, J.E., fall 2023

Jill, I felt that UBP was THE key to helping me pass oral boards.

I stayed on as faculty at my fellowship where anesthesia residents are consistently preparing for boards, and I will from here on out be exclusively recommending your program for preparation.

You guys are awesome! Thanks. 

-Ultimate Package, S.P., fall 2023

Hello, I used the Applied and OSCE exam material from UBP and it was spot on for my preparations.

I felt confident during the exam and passed both exams. Thank you so much to all the instructors for putting together such effective material.

-Ultimate Package and OSCE, Mayank Gogna, fall 2023

Just wanted to say your program was fantastic and extremely helpful in preparing me for the exam, which I passed!

I’ve already sent a few colleagues your information so hope they also proceeded with your course.

-Gold Plan & OSCE, C.J. Spring 2023

Dear Jill, I am pleased to share that I passed both the SOE and OSCE. Without the structure and rigorous content of UBP it would’ve been extremely difficult for me to pass the Applied exam on the first try.

The 3 mock oral boards I did the week before my actual exam were quite helpful as examiners can have different perspectives or feedback to share with you. I have recommended UBP to many of my resident colleagues. Thank you for what you do!

-Ultimate Package & OSCE, J.R.V., fall 2023

Good Morning UBP team,

Just found out earlier this week that I passed my oral boards and I wanted to thank you for providing such a comprehensive review and board prep program. It can be overwhelming with the amount of information, but the stems, videos, explanations and practice sessions made everything so manageable and ultimately made me a better anesthesiologist. Thank you again!

I just wanted to follow-up with you guys to let you know that both my wife and I passed our oral boards using your prep material! Additionally, thought your OSCE material was especially helpful as it was VERY close to the real thing.

Thank you for helping us become board certified anesthesiologists!

-Silver Plan & OSCE, A.V., spring 2023

I passed the ABA Applied Exam on one attempt, both parts, using UBP as my main resource. I will continue to recommend it to my colleagues and am happy to give a very positive testimonial.

Use it early and enjoy it! More importantly than the fact that I passed, it has truly made me a better anesthesiologist.

-Platinum Plan, J.K. spring 2023

Dear UBP Team, I just wanted to let you know that I just received my oral board results and passed! UBP materials are awesome!

Thank you so much for everything you do to help us make it!

-Ultimate Package & OSCE, A.D. spring 2023

Thanks to your product and staff, I passed my exam on my first try (actually had one of your scenarios as my main stem).

Your OSCE materials were also spot on. Thanks so much again.

-Gold Plan, OSCE & Online Exams, Evan Davidson, spring 2023

Hello UBP team. I wanted to reach out and thank you, Dr. George, and the whole team. I recently took and PASSED my applied exam! UBP helped me be prepared for this experience better than I could have imagined.

The actual stems were much less complicated than your practice stems, which was a welcome relief. Additionally, my examiners had a wide spectrum of skill in examining and I'm grateful for all of the practice to help overcome this obstacle confidently.

I left Raleigh relieved and grateful for all the practice I underwent with you and your mock examiners.

-Ultimate Package and OSCE, M.S., spring 2023

Hi Dr. George, Thank you so much for creating UBP as truly the ULTIMATE resource for preparation for the oral boards! I passed the boards and I am absolutely thrilled!!! I only used the Ultimate Board Prep. I listened to the audios while driving, and while setting up my OR.

I went through all of the mock exams and the grab bags, and honestly even in my personal life I have started using "I would...because...however...therefore". When they say to do one thing and do it well, all you need is Ultimate Board Prep.

I cannot thank you enough for creating this masterpiece!

-Ultimate Package and OSCE, Nazia Siddiqui, spring 2023

I just wanted to let you know I passed the Oral Board Exam on my first try thanks to UBP! Thanks to Dr. George and everyone at UBP for making the studying process much easier. I used the techniques Dr. George taught in the online videos. Bravo for an excellent study course! I can’t recommend you guys enough.

-Platinum Plan, J.J., spring 2023

Jill, Thank you so much! I got the results yesterday and I passed the oral boards! What a relief! Thank you so much and thanks to Dr. George!

Because of his reliable modules and topics, I am now a board-certified anesthesiologist :) Thanks to the whole team who is working behind the scenes and to the doctors who did online sessions with me, it has been a journey!

-Ultimate Package, Z.M., spring 2023

I passed! Thank you so much to your entire team. The mock examiners, resources you shared--especially the peer review list, were very helpful. So glad I have good news this time around.

-Ultimate Package & additional online exams, M.S., spring 2023

Dr. George and Staff, I could not thank you more for such a wonderful program you have put together. I’m a mother of three, changed careers after 10 years from Ob/Gyn to Anesthesiology. I didn’t think I could get over this last hurdle. I wanted you to know, I passed the oral boards!

I tried another program last year. I’m unsure if it was getting over Covid or a program I couldn’t follow, but I was unsuccessful last year. The first time I ever failed an exam. So disheartening.

This year I used your program. I met a wonderful female doctor through your program and we kept each other honest on our studying goals. You helped us accomplish our goals! She too passed. May God bless you and all your staff. Keep doing the great job you are doing. I believe I am a better physician after taking your course.

-Ultimate Package & OSCE, Adrienne Ligouri, spring 2023

Dear Dr. George and colleagues, I just wanted to share that I successfully passed the SOE and OSCE after taking your course. My residency program was extremely light on oral board prep, so pretty much anything I know I learned from your team.

I also wanted to point out that your OSCE tools were key; the monitor view, the patient encounter information, etc., were spot on. I am very grateful for the service and especially for your examiners. They were tougher than the real thing was, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you again, and I'll be spreading the word about UBP to everyone I know.

-Ultimate Package, D.K., spring 2023

Dear Dr. George and colleagues, I am writing to share good news - I passed my applied board exam! I would like to express a heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the high-quality applied board prep material you all have painstakingly created and updated along the way. I could not have done it without UBP. The coaching video, small group session, and mock exams were the most helpful.

Most importantly, a special shoutout to Mrs. Jill George, who demonstrated excellent customer service! She always returned my call. I'm so appreciative of her compassion and empathy during a few stressful moments in preparing for this exam. Many thanks.

-Ultimate Package, M.R., fall 2022

Hi Jill and Greg. Wanted to let you know that I passed the exam. Sincere thanks for all your help! I appreciate you guys and all of the time and effort you put into the course. I’ll definitely be recommending it to others. All the best.

-Silver Plan & OSCE, Morgan Clond, fall 2022

I got my results back yesterday and I am pleased to inform you that I passed. UBP was the only board prep material I used and it was literally the only material I needed. Thank you for all your help.

-Ultimate Package, D.A., fall 2022

I wanted to let you know that I passed (using the UBP method), and this was after not passing the first go around (when I did not use the method). I am grateful for the course and found it to be extremely helpful. I will certainly recommend it to any others who are looking to prepare for the exam.

-Ultimate Package, anonymous, spring 2022

I want to thank everyone at UBP for being such a crucial part of my oral board prep journey. The online material was so helpful. I am especially impressed with the OSCE section prepared by UBP.

-Gold Plan, X.Z., spring 2022

Dear UBP Team, Thanks for the in-depth content outlines, practice stems, OSCE material and online exams. I passed on my first attempt.

I really liked your structure and style of teaching and found it to be very valuable. Truthfully, I feel that the real test wasn’t as thorough as your prep exams/material.

You guys did a better job testing than the actual board exam.

-Practice Sets 1-6, OSCE, Online Exams, A.P., spring 2022

Hi Dr. George. I wanted to thank you for offering such a great review product for the oral boards. I bought the full package because I wanted to give myself every possible chance of passing. I thought it was well worth it! I did pass my SOE and OSCE!

Overall, the materials were fantastic and a comprehensive consolidated foundation. The strategies you laid out for studying and approaching the boards were spot on.

The video review to complement the written material was why I bought your product. I’m a visual learner, and this was a huge help! I thought they were a great way to learn more about the reasoning behind specific answers and how to approach the vast variety of scenarios. I thought they also were great for the ability to observe a back and forth between examiner/examinee and pick apart or fine tune the replies. It’s a true art.

I think overall your product is very high yield and provides a consolidated and organized review strategy. With regard to the practice mock orals, these are obviously extremely high yield. I can’t thank your examiners enough. The practice was invaluable. Their feedback was excellent and did help me focus and improve certain areas.

Can’t thank you enough for helping so many of us out there struggling through the stress of oral board review. I will gladly recommend your product to many in the future.

-Ultimate Package, Justin Hickman, spring 2022

I am currently a pediatric anesthesiology fellow at Stanford University. I learned about your resources for preparing for the APPLIED standardized oral examination from an attending during residency at the University of Pennsylvania.

I have been delighted with your educational materials throughout the preparation process, from the moment I walked out of the exam building, and especially after receiving passing results for the exam yesterday.

Thank you for taking the time to produce such quality board preparation material and provide knowledge, organization, and communication strategies that will make for better anesthesiologist consultants.

I will certainly be recommending your program to my colleagues and trainees. Thank you for your time.

-Silver Plan, Jonathan Barrett, spring 2022

Hello Dr. George & Jill. I just wanted to let you know that I finally passed OSCE. I think your OSCE prep materials are very helpful. Thank you for your continuous support.

-Ultimate Package, R.Z., spring 2022

My name is Ji Yoon Baek and I just found out today that I passed my oral board exam!! Thanks again!

Thank you for this comprehensive and amazing course!

-Platinum Plan & OSCE, Ji Baek, spring 2022

I passed my board exams!! The real exam felt very intense and high stakes, but I can confidently say that the UBP course and mock exams helped me immensely.

It was great to get real feedback after the small group session and mock exams. I’m very excited and relieved that it’s over. Thank you for helping me prepare and I’m happy to say that I’m officially board certified. Thanks again!

-Platinum Plan & OSCE, Hannah Tuckwell, spring 2022

I passed both the SOE and OSCE. I just wanted to thank you all at UBP for all your input and work into the materials and online interaction.

I couldn’t have passed without your help and I will be eternally grateful to all of you. Big shout out to UBP, you are so awesome!!!!

-Platinum Plan & OSCE, Hannah Tuckwell, spring 2022

I just took my exam and wanted to thank Dr. George for all the effort and thoroughness of all course material. I appreciate the guidance and meticulousness that the course provided.

It really allowed me to understand how to approach the exam and recognize many aspects about the exam that I never previously considered.

I am very grateful for this resource; more so than I can accurately express! I also wanted to thank you for your prompt responses and professionalism; I really appreciate it!

-Ultimate Package, Michael McCaughey, spring 2022

Greg & Jill, I just wanted to reach out to you both and let you know that, largely, thanks to Ultimate Board Prep, I'm now a board-certified anesthesiologist.

It's evident that you two put tremendous time and effort into the product, provide amazing customer service, and have a dedicated team.

Thank you so much for your hard work, patience, and dedication in educating Anesthesiologists for likely their most stressful exam in the Board certification process. I wish you and the Ultimate Board Prep team continued success!

-Ultimate Package, Saad Riaz, spring 2022

Thank you for helping me pass the oral exam. I took several practice tests with you guys. I certainly couldn’t have passed the exam without you.

-Ultimate Package, R.G., fall 2021

I PASSED MY EXAM!!!!!!

I honestly can’t thank you enough. I have nothing but positive praise for the course and all it did for me and allowed me to do.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with the course.

-Ultimate Package & OSCE, T.B., fall 2021

I recently passed my oral board exam thanks to your Problem Sets. Honestly, it was one of the best purchases I have ever made. Your program was an excellent review of material and of equal importance helped me develop the skills to articulate my knowledge so I had the confidence I needed on the day of the exam to pass the first time. I couldn’t be more grateful for your program.

-UBP Workbook, David Carr, fall 2021

I realize it’s not charity, but I appreciate your instruction, thoughtful feedback, and guidance through the board prep time.

I had a newborn baby at home and the normal clinical demands that many of my colleagues do…. but to now celebrate a passing score with my family - and to know that I don’t have any tests on the horizon is a tremendous holiday gift.

Thanks again for everything, and I hope that one day our paths again cross!

-Ultimate Package, B.G., fall 2021

I wanted to let you know that you can add another success story backing your prep course, the UBP process, and the hard work creating all the content.

Having access to audio/video as well as virtual content made it very easy for me to review material on the go. I think wrestling with this content all the time was a large part of my success, and UBP made it easy to do that.

My exam topics were certainly covered, and the prep for the OSCE was spot on. My hospital recently started a residency, and I will certainly be recommending this content down the road.

-Ultimate Package, A.L., fall 2021

Thankfully my boards went well, and I passed both components of the exam.

UBP was definitely a huge reason for my exam success. Thank you so much for all the hard work you guys put into the program. I will definitely recommend it to colleagues who are preparing for boards!

-Ultimate Package, Z.I., fall 2021

I’m extremely excited to let you know that I just received the notification that I passed the applied exam and your help and guidance was definitely crucial to make that happen.

-Platinum Plan, Armando Pancorbo, fall 2021

I hope all is well. I wanted to reach out and say thank you for such a solid and trustable review course.

I passed my SOE/OSCE exam on the first try. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever overcome in my life.

I couldn’t have done it without you, and it was worth every penny and the countless hours of prep. I couldn’t be more grateful for your program.

-Ultimate Package, Nate Schneider, fall 2021

I took the UBP course this fall and just found out I passed my oral board exam and OSCE on the first try! I am so excited!!

I thought the discussions in the UBP course videos were really helpful and the strategy points definitely helped me stay afloat with some tough examiners…

Anyway, I was very glad I took the time to prepare and practice beforehand. Thank you for creating such a great prep program!

-Ultimate Package, Anonymous, fall 2021

It gives me immense pleasure to announce that I have passed my ABA Oral Boards and now I am Board Certified! I have found Ultimate Board Prep to be an excellent and brilliant resource to prepare for the oral exam.

It covered almost all the high yield topics. The OSCE on my real exam was the exact replica of what UBP OSCE taught me… it was so reassuring to study from UBP online workbook.

I am glad I passed in the first attempt! Thank you very much Dr. George and the entire UBP team! Keep the enthusiasm coming!

-Silver Plan & OSCE, Shilpa Chouhan, fall 2021

I just wanted to write to express my thanks for your assistance with my board prep. I was able to pass the exam and I felt the program was invaluable.

It gave me a high yield approach with limited time. I especially wanted to thank you both for your customer service. I was somewhat late to sign up for the course, but I appreciated the facilitation of getting me set up with a small group session that worked for my schedule.

Thank you both again, and best wishes!

-Platinum Plan, P.M., fall 2021

Hi there! I passed my board exam! Thank you! Perfect end to a very stressful 4 months. Could not have done it without UBP. Thank you so, so much!

-Ultimate Package, Devin Antonovich, Fall 2021

I only had 6 weeks to study for orals boards and I was very anxious that it wouldn't be enough time, but I used your course for those 6 weeks and I passed!

-Platinum Plan & OSCE, K.D. summer 2021

I just wanted to thank Dr. George and all the staff for helping me with the oral boards. I found out yesterday that I passed and could not have done it without UBP!

-Ultimate Package, J.H., summer 2021

Thank you for all of your help! Especially with my board exam being delayed due to COVID 19. I felt as prepared as I think I possibly could have been.

In my case my first exam was given by aggressive and abrasive examiners and the case was probably extremely challenging, at least as challenging as the hardest UBP cases.

But because of your training I didn’t fall apart and I was able to use the techniques that you all taught me to work through it. I will highly recommend you to any friends and colleagues!

-Online Course & OSCE, anonymous, summer 2021

Thanks so much. I went in feeling confident because of you guys and my exam went great. You’ve really designed a wonderful curriculum. Keep up the great work!

-Online Course A & OSCE, J.H., summer 2021

Thank you for helping me prepare for my applied exam. UBP was all of the preparation I needed, I felt like there were no big surprises in the exam.

It is such a great relief to have the exam behind me. I will certainly recommend UBP to friends and colleagues in the future.

-Online Course A & OSCE, J.L., summer 2021

Hi Everyone at UBP. I wanted to thank you very much for all of the oral exam study materials and preparation for the applied exam. I also want to specifically thank you for the flexibility during covid.

It was very easy to reactivate my account since my exam was delayed. I will definitely be recommending UBP to everyone I know who will be taking oral boards.

-Ultimate Package, W.F., spring 2021

Hello, I passed the Applied exam. Your prep was extremely important for the OSCE portion.

I really appreciate you extending my package until I passed. Thank you again!

-OSCE curriculum, anonymous, spring 2021

I want to thank you for a great job on your UBP Workbook. I just passed my oral exams on the first attempt and I relied solely on it.

Keep up the good work!

-UBP Workbook, V.E., spring 2021

I have good news. I got the result yesterday and I’ve passed.

It would be impossible to achieve that without Dr. George and UBP. I deeply appreciate it!

-Ultimate Package, Chris Santos, spring 2021

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my APPLIED board exam!

I also wanted to thank UBP for all the help, this was the best prep course I've taken by far (and I've taken a few).

-Ultimate Package, V.C., spring 2021

Dr. Harris, I wanted to let you know that I found out today that I passed my oral boards! I found our practice sessions especially helpful and really appreciated the thoughtfulness & feedback that you gave during our two sessions.

With that being said, I really feel that UBP is a one stop study material, at least for me. The fact that the basic concepts and management points come up again and again in the language peppered throughout every UBP book really helps solidify the knowledge.

I never felt rushed during our meetings and know you took extra time beyond our scheduled hour to explain some things during our first session. I wanted to let you know that our EXACT scenario of pediatric resuscitation + avoiding naloxone administration came up on my exam.

In our practice session you said, "you need to record yourself saying neonatal resuscitation over and over until you can do it quickly" (which I did) and also taught me that naloxone should not be given to neonates even if suspected narcotic OD in the mom... You are a great teacher! Thanks again for everything!

-Online Courses A-C and OSCE, Katherine R., spring 2021

Hi Dr. George. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your wife. I got my results today and passed both the OSCE and SOE. The Ultimate Package is totally worth it! I really liked that you listened to my feedback and quickly developed the Workbook Companion.

I would definitely not have been as prepared as I was if not for going through the UBP course. Thanks again!

-Ultimate Package, P.R., spring 2021

Thank you to UBP for your help in my preparations. I purchased the 6 UBP SOE books. Additionally I purchased 4 mock orals (3 of which were with Dr Harris who was extremely helpful and amazing).

On exam day the SOE was a breeze. Yes, the day itself was stressful (more due to nerves than difficulty of the questions on the OSCE and SOE). But thanks to you and Dr Harris, I felt the SOE was smooth, easy, and predictable.

-Practice Sets 1-6, Jeff S., spring 2021

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the UBP resources. I recently took the applied exam and ended up passing both the OSCE and SOE on my first try. This was an achievement for me personally as I have not done a single anesthesiology case since June 2019 (when I graduated residency at Northwestern). Since that time, I did a pain fellowship, worked in a university COVID clinic for 3 months, and now solely practice interventional pain. Naturally, when the applied exam was pushed back roughly a whole year due to COVID, I was very nervous due to a decaying knowledge base and general lack of hands on anesthesiology skills.

With that being said, I really feel that UBP is a one stop study material, at least for me. The fact that the basic concepts and management points come up again and again in the language peppered throughout every UBP book really helps solidify the knowledge.

I sincerely thank you once again for your books. I have never been more nervous nor have I studied harder for any other exam, largely due to the gap in practice. You made it possible for an anesthesiology resident to pass the applied exam on the first try essentially 21 months from practice. Now, I can focus on my job and enjoy my evenings.

In addition, thank you for extending my access throughout the Covid-19 pandemic when my initial exam was cancelled and rescheduled nearly a year later.

I will recommend UBP to any and all board candidates. Thank you.

-Practice Sets 1-6, A.P., spring 2021

I took my Applied Exam on Feb. 4, 2021 and Passed both the SOE and OSCE components on my first attempt! I wanted to thank you for developing a great prep course. I purchased the Ultimate Package and it was pivotal to my success.

In addition, thank you for extending my access throughout the Covid-19 pandemic when my initial exam was cancelled and rescheduled nearly a year later.

I will recommend UBP to any and all board candidates. Thank you.

-Ultimate Package, R.A., spring 2021

My review of your AMAZING course has been long overdue! Let me start with a little background information. The anesthesia written exam was not hard for me; through college and medical school I did well on most written exams with little preparation. That said, I am not a public speaker and it took me 4 attempts to pass the SOE due in large part to studying for the orals the wrong way. I thought I could do it myself by studying lots of videos and books to get the knowledge down.

On my 4th attempt, I decided to take the Ultimate Board Prep. The small group training session with Dr. George was the single most helpful piece of studying in all of my four years of oral board preparation. Without any condescension he explained to me that my problem was not the knowledge, but how I expressed it. In a nutshell I learned that I needed to practice talking with an examiner.

After that I changed my study focus and gave the practice set questions to my wife and then she would ask me the questions and I would then have to speak the answers out loud whereas before it was all in my head. (My wife had no clue if I was right!) I then had three more mock exams with UBP professors and by the last one the doc said I was ready... I PASSED!

Dr. George and his crew are top notch and very kind! UBP will help you with both aspects of the exam, knowledge and oral expression. If you can only take one board prep course take UBP, hands down!

-Ultimate Package, Dr. Duane Ellsworth, fall 2019

I just wanted to say thank you! I was able to get my Applied Exam in before the shutdown from COVID-19 and received my results this week. I passed and am now a board certified anesthesiologist!

I did the Online Course A and found it very helpful. I really enjoyed the Practice Sets and videos (which were spot on to scenarios encountered on the real exam), as well as the OSCE curriculum. I would recommend your course to anyone preparing for this extremely stressful exam.

-Online Course A and OSCE, JH, spring 2020

I found out today that I passed the oral board exam!! Please tell Dr. George thank you a million times for me! I used UBP religiously (I went through the books and videos twice thoroughly, and made notes and notecards). I also did multiple mock oral exams. I’m so grateful to Dr George, and the UBP staff for having such a comprehensive program. I appreciate Dr George sharing his story about his past failure. It gave me hope! Thank you.

-Ultimate Package, anonymous, spring 2020

Thank you for helping me pass this stressful exam! UBP was excellent and the main reason why I passed. Your program is the absolute best preparation program! If you go through every book twice, you will pass. Solid plan. Very happy I did it!

-Practice Sets 1-6, Jonathan Weaver, fall 2019

This note is long overdue, but I just wanted to thank you for creating such a fantastic oral board prep course! Thanks to UBP, and UBP alone, I was able to pass my oral boards on the first try, over six years after finishing residency, even with a challenging stem and a very aggressive examiner. UBP was the only resource I used, largely due to time constraints but also because it was so high-yield and comprehensive, I didn’t feel I had to look to other sources.

The videos were also especially helpful in getting a good idea of how the actual exam would go, the tactics and demeanor of the examiners, and how to use techniques in real-time to concisely and clearly defend my answers. Plus, they were excellent in showing how to explain and defend answers I didn’t necessarily agree with in the written material, so I could see how to apply those skills if I was led down a path I didn’t like on the actual exam.

I was nervous on the exam day, yet I could still answer completely and concisely, navigate a challenging stem, predict many of the questions that were asked, not be thrown off by the changing paths and moving goal posts the examiners set up, and handle a more aggressive examiner and be more amused than rattled by his tactics. So, THANK YOU once again, UBP, for helping me finally become a board-certified anesthesiologist after a very long and winding road. It feels amazing and so freeing to finally be done. No more studying for exams looming overhead, no more putting other things in my life on hold. Thank you.

-Online Course A with add on of course B videos, anonymous, fall 2019

I recently passed the applied exam thanks to UBP! I also wanted to send a special thanks to Dr. Shenaq! She is an amazing and patient teacher and I am very thankful to have attended her crash course class. Thank you again!

-Ultimate Review, OSCE, and Online Exams, L.L., fall 2019

I wanted to let you know that I passed my oral boards. I attribute so much of why I was able to pass to the preparation from the UBP materials, the mock exams, and the sessions with Dr. Shenaq. I appreciated the help of everyone. I’m sure it isn’t easy dealing with paranoid, stressed, people all the time. I would like to give a special thank-you to Dr. Shenaq. She went above and beyond to make sure I understood what the examiners were looking for and how to translate my knowledge into an answer. She really added a personal touch and helped me gather the much-needed confidence.

-Ultimate Package, 5-Hour CV Review, Nicolas Ence, fall 2019

I just wanted to thank you so much for your course! I couldn’t have done it without you! You are a blessing!! Also, your recommendation to use Dr. Shenaq was a lifesaver! I did the cardiac review and two entire course reviews with her. She is an incredible teacher and helped me tremendously. I would not have made it without her tutoring or your help! Thanks again!

- Ultimate Package, Thomas Lo, fall 2019

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed the oral boards! Thanks for all of the materials, the practice tests, the tips on studying, and the OSCE. I benefitted immensely from the UBP strategies!

"Dr George and UBP, I just found out I passed my boards and I couldn’t be happier. I am truly grateful for my experience through UBP. I think not only did it help me pass my boards but I think it’s made me a better communicator and thus a better physician."

"I got the good news that I passed the oral exam, and I am now board certified! The Ultimate Board Prep course was key to my success. Thank you so much! I will recommend your course to everyone I know who will be taking this exam."

"Thanks again Ubp! I just got my results today and I passed! UBP was amazing and super helpful! The OSCE curriculum was impressive and effective as well. Please give my special thanks to Ubp examiners, Keith Schmidt, and Salwa Shenaq. The Ultimate 10 hour review with Dr. Shenaq was beneficial too."

"I wanted to convey my gratitude to the entire Ultimate Board Prep team for helping me pass my oral boards! This is the first time I have invested in a prep course. My hectic work schedule during my cardio-thoracic fellowship did not allow me to sit one-on-one with my mentors who could have given me oral board exams at my workplace. Consequently, I decided to enroll myself in your course. I am very fortunate that I had the right guidance from you to face the oral boards. My exam experience was pleasant and I did not feel at any time that I was struggling during the exam.

I purchased the OSCE curriculum with my course, and I wanted to let you know the OSCE information for every station is perfect! I prepared the OSCE over two days and found myself speaking confidently and in full control of any kind of scenario: a consent, medication error, angry surgeon, regional block, TEE, or QC project. It was all there to prepare me so I could confidently take the exam without difficulty.

I am thankful of everyone who worked with me! Dr. George, your 2-Hour Small Group Training session was invaluable! Drs. Huffman and Shenaq were so helpful with my online exams. The 5-Hour CV review was especially helpful in covering my weak areas. I felt truly encouraged by Dr. Shenaq and at the same time that I could push myself to absorb more information. She is a keen observer who can gauge your knowledge and get you to a point where you will be a strong player for this board exam. Many thanks to Myle who helped me coordinate my online exams and 5 hr. review. I will always recommend to colleagues and friends the UBP program!"

"First of all, I would like to thank you for offering your excellent online courses! I did pass the exam on my first attempt, even though English is a second language for me. I am certain your online course and the mock exams made a big difference. Please send my special thanks to Dr. Waldman and Dr. Huffman for their invaluable advice and guidance during my private online exams. Another thing I wanted to thank you for was your extraordinary customer support and professionalism. I had an issue after hours, and didn't expect that your staff, Jill, would respond to the email right away and take care of it immediately. Thank you Ubp!"

"Thank you, Ubp, from the bottom of my heart for helping me pass my oral boards! This was not my first attempt at this exam, but my first try with using your program and it was the key to passing. I also want to thank Dr. Shenaq for all of her help and her fantastic 5-Hour CV Review program."

"I want to thank everyone at UBP for all the help I received using all the resources provided. I passed both parts of the Applied exam on my first attempt, and that absolutely would not have happened without UBP. The clinical reviews were undoubtedly helpful, but it was the practice exams and the organized approach to answering that was indispensable to me being able to pass in a single attempt. I felt that the investment in UBP was an easy choice to make when compared to the cost and inconvenience of potentially retaking the exam. The video review sessions were streamlined with high yield information that made it possible to study on even the busiest day."

- Ultimate Package, R Longfellow, spring 2019

"Thank you for your program. I felt very well prepared for my Oral Exam and received my result yesterday that I passed. I sincerely appreciate how your program was organized, and the supplemental activities, especially Dr. Shenaq's 5-hour review. I found myself reviewing her presentation in the two days leading up to the board as a general overview of high yield topics. I can't stress how beneficial it was to have this as part of the curriculum. I am the Associate Program Director of the residency here at my institution and will be recommending UBP to my residents when they are preparing for this exam. Thank you again."

"I want to sincerely thank you for your advice and encouragement during my training sessions and mock exams in September and October. Today, I learned that I passed my SOE and OSCE exams, and I am very grateful for the role that UBP played! I want to send a special thanks to Dr. Shenaq who always allowed for extra time to make sure that I had all of the feedback that I needed to succeed. Each one of your mock examiners displayed a genuine concern for my success, and I will highly recommend your program to my peers and colleagues. Happy holidays and deepest gratitude!"

"Just received my “Pass” boards result about an hour ago. I wanted you all to know...Thanks to your course, my mock exams, and an individual review with Dr. Shenaq, I was more prepared for this test than any other test I’ve taken in medicine. I was calm, collected, and felt the exams progressed smoothly. I also felt good rapport with my examiners...I left the exam feeling confident. Thank you for the course and the work you all do. I don’t think my experience would have unfolded this way without you! I plan to recommend you all to anyone in the board prep phases. More importantly than passing the boards, your course helped me brush up on areas I haven’t really seen in about a year (I just finished my fellowship and we don’t tackle much OB or pediatrics). I feel more confident to tackle these cases in the “real" world. Thanks for everything!"

"Dear Dr. George, I cannot thank you enough for providing me with the exact tools necessary to pass my oral boards the first time. I spent countless hours watching and re-watching the videos, talking to you and answering you on my computer screen. Lol! I know I would have not passed without Ultimate Board Prep. I just want to thank you and your team from the bottom of my heart for what you do! If you put in the work and follow the advice of the Ubp team it truly is a recipe for success. And, that test day was nothing I would want to experience twice!! Thank you so much! Take care and all the best, Mary Zoccoli "

"The oral board exam was extremely challenging for me. I believe this exam was so difficult because it was totally different from any other exam in my entire academic career. Ultimate Board Prep made the studying process effective by providing a simple, yet comprehensive strategy for answering the difficult board questions. The wide range of practice questions with detailed explanations and the access to Skype practice exams with board-certified anesthesiologists were extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Ultimate Board Prep to any board candidate who is looking for solid assistance to become board certified."

- Jarrett A., Ultimate Package, spring 2018

"UBP was the best possible tool for oral boards! I was asked maybe one question in one of my exams that wasn’t covered somewhere in the test booklets. UBP takes away many of the unknowns that make the test so challenging and it allowed me to better express my knowledge of the topics tested. Both of my question stems were extremely close to stems seen in the test booklets. This course needs to be a part of your oral board preparation and I believe it’s by far the best oral board prep course out there. Thank you UBP!"

"This time last year I was writing to let you know I had failed oral boards and I was considering challenging the ruling that I had failed. I am happy to report this year I have much better news. I passed thanks to a lot of hard work and sacrifice and lots of good advice from your team and your Ubp Practice Sets. Just writing to say thank you to everyone who helped me get through to the other side. Specifically, thanks also to Myle for all the scheduling of last minute exams and all my practice examiners. I will be recommending you highly!"

“Thanks to your course and your team of examiners, I passed the oral boards! UBP is by far the best course for the oral boards! This was not my first time taking the orals, but it was the easiest one because I felt so prepared that I was ahead of the examiners almost all the way. Even when they pressed on subjects that I didn’t know completely, I felt confident in my answers. The key was to apply the tools you provided in the course in every answer. (My favorite one is the 4 critical components.) Also, practicing verbalizing all the answers was essential. From now on I’m going to recommend your course to all my colleagues. Thank you very much to you and your excellent team!!!"

“I wanted to start by saying thank you for all of your hard work in making UBP a great product! I cannot emphasize how prepared I felt for the actual board exam after having attended the live course. I felt the mock exams in your books were significantly more challenging in comparison to the stems I received on the actual exam... I have already recommended UBP to all my friends getting ready for their Orals next spring."

I just wanted to write to express my gratitude for your help with the oral boards. After failing to pass the orals in 2016, your program really helped me and a colleague turn things around and pass this year. It was a rewarding experience, and the reference materials have been very useful for day-to-day practice as well. I wish you continued success in helping future generations of anesthesiologists aspiring for board certification.

Thank you for providing physicians preparing for their oral boards a full concise study program that not only increases your depth of knowledge but also provides physicians with a plan of how to prepare and answer board questions in a more concise but well explained manner. The program not only prepared me for my oral exam but also improved my ability to discuss potential concerns with surgeons about high risk patients in everyday practice. This course without a doubt has improved my professional communication skills and allowed me to improve my discussion skills with surgeons about their patient. A surgeon is never happy when you inform him that you need to cancel a case, but this program really helped to improve the way I organize my thoughts and explain my reasoning behind my decision-making processes.

I cannot thank you enough for the hard work that you put into what I believe is the best system for effective Oral Board Prep. I have tried most of the courses out there. This was my 4th attempt in 6 years since residency. I have been saving money just in case I needed to find another job. But your course gave me hope that I could finally begin to understand this seemingly haphazard exam. I just kept studying and practicing with my spouse and I found that I DID have an intelligent answer to the majority of questions on the day of my exam. I also found that I had the confidence to say 'I don't know' because I knew that I would have plenty of other opportunities to demonstrate my knowledge. I have been pleased to find in my asking around that the 'secret' seems to be out that UBP has the best system. You and Jill deserve to be overwhelmed with success. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I used solely UBP materials to study for the orals and I must say that I am extremely pleased that I passed on my first try without having to say any "I don't know’s" during the exam. I did spend sometime looking at other study materials prior to committing to UBP. I personally think you offer the best tools for success. I attended the live course and I think it was best for me. I wish I had more time to attend both course A and B! Dr. George, Jill, and Sean were so supportive, even giving us lunch meal cards!

I would like to thank the staff at UBP for helping me pass the oral boards. I utilized the videos and books and I thought they were spot on. I was 5 years removed from residency and had avoided the Orals in part due to constant distractions and part extreme anxiety.

“I have taken this exam five times before. I have used three other Board Prep

Programs. I used two of them multiple times. I always assumed that the problem

was my knowledge without ever realizing the importance of my presentation and

how to improve it. ONLY UBP HAS TAUGHT ME ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. Dr.

George and Dr. Nguyen have been especially helpful. If, God forbid, I ever have to

take the exam again, I’d come straight back to UBP for practice, instruction,

refinement, feedback, etc. Plus, the Georges are just really thoughtful, great people!

UBP is the best oral board prep I have ever had. I have generally dreaded preparing

for this exam. UBP has actually made it enjoyable. I think I may be having fun and

learning to be a better doctor in the process.” --Fall 2015, Live Course Attendee

I was faced with a very difficult stem AND a difficult examiner.

Attending the Ultimate Board Prep course 6 weeks prior to my oral examination gave me the opportunity to gain invaluable and useful critiques of my ability (or lack there of) in answering difficult questions effectively. I encountered an incredibly difficult stem question AND a difficult examiner and was able to recall specific advice given to me after my first mock oral exam at UBP. Using that advice, I turned an evolving downward spiral into a final victory and passed on my first attempt. I credit the Ultimate Board Prep with giving me the final edge on my preparation for the exam and wholeheartedly recommend their course to anyone determined to take orals only once! - JE

They focus on communication and judgment skills. These are so hard to master, but Ultimate Board Prep focuses on these skills and I believe it is why I passed after 2 failures. Mike and Greg! Thank you guys so very much! I think I cried when I passed...I know my husband did! This was my third attempt at the oral boards. My husband gave up his job so that he could be with our four children while I did my residency and fellowship, so my income is the only income we have. We moved to a great group and thought we were finally done with the sacrifice until I failed the orals the first time. So, for the second time I studied harder and practiced with my group. I thougt we were done then I failed the second time. Then my group told me that they were going to let me go if I did not pass the third time. My buddy had gone to Ultimate Board Prep and told me that he really thought it helped. So I went to one course. It was awesome. It was small, it was personal, and the coaching that Dr. Smith and Dr. George gave me was incredible. When I first read one of the Ultimate Board Prep books that my buddy had...I thought this is really a simple idea...I do not think I need to go to the course. He told me that I should go and I am so glad that I did. It was 4 days of practicing the Ultimate Board Prep techniques and doing one on one exams with OUTSTANDING feedback. It was not learning the material... I knew the information...but rather how to present it and how to answer questions that I did not know the answers. I met a few people from the course and we practiced every week for 4 months with the Ultimate Board Prep techniques. A month before the exam I was feeling good about my practice but I went to the last minute course in San Antonio and it really helped! I felt great about the communication and judgment skills that I learned. In fact my stem question was exactly what we had practiced and Dr. Smith had talked about. I could not believe it! All the key points and the pros and cons of my answers were right from the course! Then 2 of my extra topics were things we had just discussed at the course. I passed on my third attempt at the orals because of Ultimate Board Prep. I went to 2 courses and practiced weekly what they taught me. They focus on communication and judgment skills. These are so hard to master, but Ultimate Board Prep focuses on these skills and I believe it is why I passed after 2 failures. Thank you so much Ultimate Board Prep!!!! -AT

UBP does not use memorization or pneumonics, but teaches organization of knowledge and expands the depth of knowledge....

Dr. George and Dr. Smith are dedicated educators with the goal of helping each test taker individually based on his/her needs. UBP gave me a very thorough overview of the topics tested on boards and helped me to organize my thought process and pass the boards on the first try. UBP does not use memorization or pneumonics (which board examiners frown upon), but UBP teaches organization of knowledge and expands the depth of knowledge, and teaches how to speak quickly and knowledgeablely. Excellent course and excellent strategy! Thanks UBP for helping me pass the first time! -Kimberly Babiash

This course is Different! This course is Excellent! I have gone to two separate courses, and found deficits in those courses due to lack of teaching. Other courses just intimidate and badger the oral board candidate without giving concrete feedback. This course is different! This course is excellent! The instructors discuss each case/problems in depth. In addition, The instructors emphasize specific strategies to display knowledge in a rapid effective manner. Best oral board review course I have attended so far! -Baltimore, MD

This course is, by far, the Very Best out there. This course is, by far, the Very Best out there. It really does teach you how to organize your thoughts and express them in a consultant-like-fashion. If you want to pass orals, you Must take this course. -Dr. Brian Allen

Your Approach was very effective. I checked in the ABA online portal today and I PASSED the Anesthesia ORAL BOARD EXAM given at Salt Lake City. The ultimate board prep practice sets 1,2,3,4 were of tremendous help. I have already lost count of how many times I have read and tried to memorize the books. Your approach was very effective. I practiced and practiced the topics in the books so many, many times. I would definitely, highly recommend your review course. -Dr. Nepthalie Catameo

Yours is the only one that breaks down the answers, focuses on presentation style, and how to manage questions when the answer is unclear. I am ecstatic to report that I passed the oral exam in Salt Lake City, 2011. I was literally down to my last attempt before going back to the ITE. I will say that the exam was pretty rigorous, fast-paced, difficult to predict, with an extensively detailed first case. I've taken all the usual courses offered for this exam, but yours is the only one that breaks down the answers, focuses on presentation style, and how to manage questions when the answer is unclear. -Dr. S. Chris Jacobs

Taught by great mentors who have a passion to help you pass the oral boards. Thank you for the exceptional board review course. I found it to be a great experience, highly motivating and well targeted. Taught by great mentors who have a passion to help you pass the oral boards. The small group classroom gives it a feel of a private tutorial. Looking forward to seeing you in Boston. - Dr. Jeffrey Follansbee

The UBP method helped me better manage my reactions to examiners, and better articulate my responses.

Dr. Terry Fletcher and I BOTH PASSED! We are both grateful to everyone at Ultimate Board Prep for your efforts, your coaching, and your patience. I for one recognize the UBP method helped me better manage my reactions to examiners, and better articulate my responses—in fact, several questions asked of others (who took exams on the same day as me) were not asked of me, because I was able to anticipate information and give it to the examiners pre-emptively. Thanks again for putting so much time and thought into building this prep program—my wife is equally grateful . . . - James Hunt

If I had it to do over again, I would choose this course. I had not heard about the Ultimate Board Prep before attending, but it turned to be an excellent course, the best in my opinion. I felt the discussions were excellent and mimicked the real thing. The content is amazing and regularly updated. In the course you learn the strategy and the art of what to say and how to say it, you also learn how to respond to the toughest questions. I feel I am a better consultant. If I had it to do over again, I would choose this course again and again. Great job and highly recommended. Thanks Dr. George and Dr. Smith -Dr. Wadid Zaky

The ultimate board prep was key to my passing of the oral board exam! The ultimate board prep was key to my passing of the oral board exam! I utilized the ultimate package which was all encompassing and gave me the competitive advantage I needed. Getting the coaching tips, mock oral exams (with well trained examiners who provided vital feedback and much needed criticism), exam books and two courses provided me with knowledge, practice and most importantly the ability to act as a consultant. The course content is spot on and tough. No tricks or gimmicks, this is the real deal! The ability to quickly organize knowledge and then communicate those thoughts are where the ultimate board prep shines. Thanks to all including Drs. George and Smith! -Dr. Mitch Read

"I found that the multiple exams I was given as well as the study books were helpful in my formulating a way to organize my thoughts." -Anonymous, 2013

"I'm very satisfied with the personal feedback provided hereand overall technique and approach given. I'm coming away from this weekend with a clear course of how to get to where I need to be and confidence in my ability to get there. Prior to this weekend, I felt a much higher level of anxiety. Now, I feel energized to get the job done, both prepping and on exam day." -Anonymous, 2013

"I have never received constructive feedback. The fact that the course broke things down into logical, concise, manageable strategy was fantastic! I also really appreciated all of the practice opportunities and that both Dr. George and Dr. Smith very consistenetly employed the strategies in their answers. Hearing questions broken down and answered in ways reflective of the curriculum reassured me that the strategies were practical and possible with practice! I also liked hearing other examinees take oral tests. It made me realize I wasn't the only one struggling and made me comfortable volunteering to take practice tests which I never thought I would. Dr. George and Dr. Smith fostered a supportive and constructive atmosphere in which to learn." -Dr. Courtney Hancock, 2013
