Pediatrics Board Review: Physician-Led ABP Exam Preparation

Hi my name is Ashish Goyal and I’m board-certified in
both Pediatrics and Internal Medicine.

I have a passion for helping pediatricians and pediatric residents overcome the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) initial certification and Maintenance of Certification (aka recertification) exams (i.e., MOCA-Peds and the MOCA exam).

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by study materials and also to fail the pediatric boards because of that overwhelm. That’s why I created Pediatrics Board Review (PBR) to help you maximize your study time with high-yield topics, memory aids that will help you throughout your career, and easy-to-understand explanations of complicated material. The efficiency in studying will help you create long-term knowledge in less time.

Help You Pass!

Through Pediatrics Board Review (PBR) I’ve been able to produce innovative resources and learning techniques to do one thing: HELP YOU LEARN THE FOUNDATIONAL PEDIATRICS TO PASS!

If you’ve ever failed a board exam, I know how you feel. It wasn’t long ago that I took the American Board of Pediatrics initial certification exam for the first time… and failed! I actually knew within the first 20 minutes that the study materials I used were deeply flawed in their approach. They offered overwhelming content in an effort to teach all of pediatrics instead of focusing on what the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) Content Outline identifies as the requirements for foundational pediatrics. It was the first board exam I had ever failed, and I felt demoralized.

Thinking through everything I had gone through to become a doctor, and then study for the boards, I quickly realized that failing that exam didn’t mean I was a bad pediatrician, it just meant that I didn’t have the right resources needed to pass the exam.

I also thought really hard about the board exam experience, and I discovered key insights. For example, certain topics are critical to learn as a general pediatrician and they were tested in multiple ways on the exam. Also, for esoteric information, and for medication dosages and duration, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) doesn’t test you on these because they understands that clinicians look these up in real world practice. Then, through key changes in my study strategies and another summer of hard work, I was able to dramatically increase my score the very next year and PASS THE PEDIATRIC BOARDS WITH A SCORE INCREASE OF OVER 40%.

ABP asked me to contribute questions for future board exams.

I can’t say it was easy, but once I had a clear plan on how to study for the exam, there was a huge sense of relief. The ABP was failing up to 25% of first-time test takers, and an even higher percentage of repeat test takers. But I did so well on the exam that they even asked me to contribute questions for future board exams.

I’m board certified now and REALLY happy to have the freedom in my life to enjoy it. I’m also so excited that I have the opportunity to share my own experience, my deep insights on board preparation, strategies to learn challenging topics, tools for efficient and focused study, and of course, the PBR study materials that are based on the curated study packet that I once created for myself to pass the exam with such a high score.

I published the first edition of PBR in 2011 and immediately began receiving emails from pediatricians sharing their amazing results on the board exams. And with less than 0.5% of pediatricians requesting reimbursements from our Money Back First-Time Pass Guarantee over the past 15+ years, we estimate that our first-time pass rate on the initial certification exam is close to 99%.

The information I offer is comprehensive, but curated. The study techniques are deeply thought out. Joining PBR gives you an experience that feels intuitive, supported, and it gives you exactly what you need to pass the pediatric boards and become a great pediatrician.

Another little bit of information about me…

My life’s work has always involved helping others. This project (PBR) was started to fund a 501-c-3 nonprofit organization, called AVSAR, which helps to increase access to healthcare for children living in the slums of India. Though PBR I’ve been able to contribute over $50,000 to AVSAR, and I continue to be a source of support privately. Pediatrics Board Review is a private company, but it feels great to know that through PBR I have the ability to step in and support AVSAR again in the future if the need should ever arise.
