Podiatry Board Preparation Tools and Techniques 
The First
This testimonial wall is a great idea! So, let me be the first to congratulate you and tell my story.
I bought your products after I failed the boards using another subscription based study guide service. I was very disappointed in it. It seemed to be nothing more than a digital version of a popular print book … and only surgery … what a disappointment.
But, your products were psychometrically constructed and helped me to pass; first the medical test and then the surgery test. Your ability to update and customize specific products is amazing, too!
Many thanks again.
Dr. Joe
Looking forward to insights.

Dear Dr. David E. Marcinko,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my call today and spending time with me to narrow down some of the pressing questions I had. I also thank you in advance for all the efforts made on my behalf to get the review questions to me as soon as possible. I am sure you remain concerned about whether or not I will have enough time to review; but from my standpoint, I remain thankful even at this late stage in the game to at least have the few days that remain. Most of the material is static, but as you well know the questions can be presented in a different format, especially years later since I first took the exam. I do have a few review questions from over 10 years ago and but they are not specific for the test I am going to be taking.
While training at Barry I did have the opportunity to be a student of Dr.Scherer, he taught my radiology course. I believe his plans for this business venture was in it’s infancy at the time. He was dedicated to making sure we, as students, understood the course material, and years later his passion for understanding still lingers. I appreciate your honesty today and feel that your sincerity mirrors Dr. Scherer’s, and for that I am truly grateful!!! Your insight on “stress questions” and the increased use of them as well as sharing the fact that you were part of the very board that I am testing into all helped to actually decrease my stress level. As I have explained my situation is so unique and almost unbelievable to tell you the truth, that it’s actually too stressful to be stressed over, I don’t know if you have ever experienced a situation in your life that was so stressful that you could not even be stressed, it is quite a humbling experience.
A couple years ago I took the North Carolina Licensure exam while being 8 months pregnant, would I wish that on my worst enemy probably not, but the outcome was successful. I have always shyed away from board review questions in the past, because of the negative stigma and secrecy associated with obtaining them. So part of my delay honestly, was just not researching “board review questions” until today. As I mentioned before I had heard “through the grapevine” that Dr. Scherer was working on something, but I guess since I did not have access to this service many years ago, I didn’t think about it before today. Moving forward, I feel so blessed to have been clear headed enough (taking a moment out of the stressful, legal, emotion fog) to have Goggled your company, then to have called and actually have you pick up when the answering machine had already engaged and have you share such vital information, that was perfect timing if you ask me. At this point it would be unwise to doubt that things will not continue to work in my favor, and if you would bare with me for a moment and allow me to mention … from this point forward I’m believing God!!
I shared some of your advice with my husband and he agreed that at this point what is there to loose. Thank you again, I will email to confirm receipt of documents. Please do me a huge favor, if you think of my situation or me between now and Saturday (test day); please think positive thoughts of me passing. I appreciate you!
Thankfully

Dear Dr. Marcinko,
My name is [name withheld] DPM. I graduated from the [name withheld] College of Podiatric Medicine last month. During the week of graduation, I received my board scores and I did not pass. As a direct consequence, I lost my residency.
In the 7 days that followed, I moved out of my apartment, my belonging were put in storage, I was in a car accident, my fiancé discovered a soft tissue mass (biopsy was benign, but the cyst is being removed next week), and my student loans became due. I currently have no source of income, and I have exhausted every financial resource possible.
My car was fixed, the tumor will be removed, and in time I will be able to pay back my student loans. However, without the use of your fantastic [PodiatryPrep] software, I am fearful that I will not be able to pass the board exam. I took part II twice, and I don’t know what it is that I am doing wrong.
I am respectfully requesting a complimentary copy of both versions: Podiatric Surgery and Primary Podiatric Medicine. After I pass the board exam, I will refer all of my colleagues to your services.
Respectfully,
Dr. [name withheld] DPM

Many thanks for reaching out to us! We here similar stories during these tough economic times and do have a modest special “hardship” fund to assist needy students and young doctors. Subject to restrictions and cancellation at any time!
But, this is assistance and not a handout. Our philosophy is that you must have some economic “skin in the game” for best results.
So, this usually involves some sort of a hardship discount, or payment plan, on an individual case-by-case basis.

Thanks for your consultation yesterday in regards to foot surgery re-certification. Initially, you thought the course manual [study guide library] would suit me fine.

Dr. William Osler and the Necessity of Examinations
Source: Dr. Chris Nickson
Osler said that exams were something of a menace to the true student of medicine:
“Perfect happiness for student and teacher will come with the abolition of examinations, which are stumbling blocks and rocks of offense in the pathway of the true student.”
— William Osler, from Aequanimitas, 3rd edition, 1932
Perhaps this is because no examination can be passed by knowing the subject matter alone. One must also master the “hidden curriculum,” the unwritten rules of engagement. Only the foolish, the prenaturally brilliant, or the interminably lucky dare remain ignorant of these invisible hurdles.
As such, a great deal of effort must be spent, not only learning about how to care for patients and the manifestations of disease, but about how to pass the quiz. Of course, knowing how to play the game is, in itself, not enough. One must find a way to acquire the necessary knowledge.
For this, we must embrace what Osler has called the Philosopher’s Stone, that which turns base lead into gold, his Master Word: Work.
“With too many, unfortunately, working habits are not cultivated until the constraining dread of an approaching exam is felt, when the hopeless attempt is made to cram the work of two years into a six month’ session, with results only too evident to your examiners.”
— William Osler, from Introductory Lecture on the Opening of the Forty-Fifth Session of the Medical Faculty, McGill University. 1877.
For all the sweat and tears that these perilous stumbling blocks extract, they are not without purpose. Examinations are an undeniable spur to action. They force us to investigate our deficiencies and expose our many weaknesses. When done as part of perfect preparation, we may be strengthened in time for the test, as well as for the rest of our careers.
“I do not know of any stimulus so healthy as knowledge on the part of the student that he will receive an examination at the end of his course. It gives sharpness to his dissecting knife, heat to his Bunsen burner, a well worn appearance to his stethoscope, and a particular neatness to his bandaging.”
— William Osler, from an address to medical students at the University of Pennsylvania, 1885.
So, ultimately, we must accept that examinations are necessary. Offensive rocks though they may be. Yet we do well to remember that examinations are just the toll gates at which we must all pay our dues as we embark on an endless journey. An endless journey in search of mastery in medicine.
“In its subject matter there is everything in its favour, and it is the easiest possible thing to carry out John Locke’s primary canon in education — arouse an interest… It is hard to name a dry subject in the curriculum. And yet in an audience of medical students such a statement nowadays raises a smile. Why? Because we make the examination the end of education, not an accessory in its acquisition. The student is given early the impression that he is in the school to pass certain examinations, and I am afraid the society in which he moves grinds this impression into his soul.”
— William Osler, from ‘An Introductory Address on Examinations, Examiners and Examinees. Lancet. 1913; 1047-50.
“If the license to practise meant the completion of his education how sad it would be for the practitioner, how distressing to his patients! More clearly than other the physician should illustrate the truth of Plato’s saying that education is a life-long process.”
-William Osler, from ‘The Importance of Post-graduate Study.’ Lancet. 1900 (2):73-75.

Getting Ready for Test Day
Preparing for a test isn’t easy, and most test takers have some sort of test anxiety as they prepare. I know standardized tests have always given me a sense of dread, even when I’m adequately prepared and know I will do well on the test.
Through high school, college, and then podiatry school, residency and the boards, the tests seemed to only get more complicated and more important.
Preparing for the next difficult standardized board test in my immediate future became a way of life for me. Podiatry Prep made it easier!
Thanks Podiatry Prep.

Good afternoon,
I have been using your software to prepare for my boards next weekend and find it very helpful.
I have found several questions in your simulation dealing with biostatistics and epidemiology, but cannot find any study material in the info you sent me. Could I be looking in the wrong place? Could you please send me this info?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Dr. Patrick R.

Dr. R
No, you are not looking in the wrong place. Just review the study guide under community health.
We provide product and technical support and are glad you successfully installed and are using your ala carte program as intended.
But, we provide no personalized teaching support as researching information on your own is part of the learning process. For more didactic information, we suggest our related integrated suite of products, our free online tools and/or the internet or your local medical library.
Coaching services: https://podiatryprep.wordpress.com/coaching-service/
And remember, our proportional simulators often match the real test in topical weight and acuity. But, this is testing psychometrics, not spoon-feeding or cheating, so you will still have to study diligently on your own. GUARANTEED!
Of course, such self-help searching will also alert you to related material which may, or may not, be useful on the test. However, it may be very helpful in the real world of clinical care, patient treatment and/or public health dynamics.
Good luck in advance and thanks for the compliment!

I am writing you regarding my frustration with podiatry board preparation service. I purchased the product about 7 days ago and ever since I have been waiting to receive the CD-ROM.
Today when I check my email and my mailbox, I didn’t find anything. When I emailed back to inquire regarding the matter, I was told that my PC firewalls or fillers on my personal computer needs to be disabled in order for me receive the software. I also was told that the software was sent to me several time and it was returned due to my PC security software.

RE: Surgery, Medicine and Orthopedics
The following is an email that Dr. Tim Kump sent you recently but has not heard from you yet. Could you please let us know if he has received all the materials that he has paid for! He is also interested in placing another order. You can call our office during the day or our home in the evening.

Dear Dr. Kump,
Your ABPS interactive SURGICAL QAs program was just re-licensed, re-RFID tagged, and re-sent to you. Please note the original transmission was returned to us; so check your PC, inbox, filters, etc. So, your entire surgery order is now complete.
Now, you additionally wrote below:
I am also taking the ABMPS Eligibility Exam for Primary Care in Podiatric Medicine and wish to order both the Primary Care materials as well as the Surgical materials including KEYSTONE PODIATRIC SURGERY (Q & As), ABMSP- Podiatry Surgery Version for Windows XP, the KEYSTONE PODIATRIC MEDICINE (Q&As) and the Comprehensive Library Study-Guides for the ABMPS Primary Care in Podiatric Medicine Exam and the applicable one for the ABMPS Surgical Eligibility Exam (if one exist) but I do not know which ones are applicable for the ABMPS Exams?
Therefore, at your request, we will now invoice you only $600 for 2 programs:
• ABMPS primary care medicine and orthopedics QAs [WIN-XP].
• ABMPS primary care and orthopedics study guide library [Adobe .pdf type]
Why? As a professional courtesy, we also included additional ABMPS surgical QAs in the re-transmission at no extra charge so these purchases are not needed. We will also include the additional related primary care ABMPS study guide material in your new order, at N/C.
Glad you like our products.
Good luck!
Thank You.

Subject: Prep for APMLE Part III
Dear Dr Scherer,
My name is Ted Ursich and I graduated from CCPM in 1983. I have been out of private practice for some years. I decided that I would like to practice again and was told by my state board just to take Part III.
I subscribed to podiatryboardsprep for 3 months and took the exam this December; not an easy exam for me, and did not do as well as I had hoped. So, I am going to retake the exam in June, 2014.
I am seriously considering your program for the Part III Exams this time around. Will your program help me? I am really “gun-shy” at this point after burying myself into the podiatryboardsprep ‘BS’ for almost 3 months.
Honest opinions are greatly appreciated.
Kindly,
Ted Ursich, DPM
Dr. Ted Ursich,
Many thanks for your email. After being in the business for 20 years, we have heard similar stories before.
So yes, we may be able to help with our combined PART II-III program. It contains content files, traditional QAs, and the newer CBC/hybrid-didactic essay type CBT questions. Perhaps, this new style was the source of your difficulty?
Now, although a bit more expense at $350, our products are very comprehensive. And, there are no others available for this small market. Hence, the R&D and updates we pursue are not available elsewhere. And, there are no time-bombs.
Moreover, for $25 more, we can customize for you to a limited extent. Just tell us which subjects you did poorly in; and we will do the rest. Such customization is highly recommend in your case.
And, to expedite the process, we accept Paypal and then deliver by secure email. We will invoice you now; for $375.
Please advise.
Thank you.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Ted Ursich and I recently purchased your program. I am planning on re-taking the Part III Boards this June. I recently started going through the material and I really enjoyed it, but I am a little worried.
Is there a specific order I should be following to your program? Do you have any recommendations on how to attack your program? I am looking at all the folders and was wondering if it would be to my needs to memorize all the information in order to survive a 2nd ‘go-round’ with the boards in June?
Forgive me for sounding so obtuse, but I have never seen myself as a ‘leader’, but more as a ‘follower’ who usually gets the job done once pointed in the right direction.
Please, if you have any advice, I am ‘all ears’ and very grateful!
Kindly,
Ted Ursich
Dr. Ursich,
Generally, we send the files in the correct order you should study them for best results.
Moreover, you may create separate self-aggregated study folders for personal use, and categorize the individual files as you see fit. Many doctors love this feature. Typical sub-categories include content, terminology differences, QAs, strengths, weaknesses, [easy-moderate-difficult concepts], other special concerns, etc.
Remember, this is test-preparation and not cheating, so study very hard. Good luck!

I appreciate any insight you can give me as i continue to study for my exam.
