BryanJ Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Took PANRE last week and got the results... PASS. I'm in a specialty which encompasses about 6% of the PANRE so had to get back into all the other topics that weighed heavily on the exam, specifically Cardio and Pulmonary. I do much better studying on my own and came across the computer lectures from UMDNJ. For me, that was the best study tool I used to get me through the exam. I particularly liked that I could watch it when I wanted, go back and review lectures, pause the lecture if I wanted to look something up and clarify, and fast forward through areas I felt very comfortable with. For previous re-cert, I've been to the traditional sit down, five day, all day lectures and I would say this material is identical, but 1/3 the cost. The actual program is cheaper, plus no hotel cost, no plane, meals, etc... I can't recommend this course enough and glad to have that behind me again for another six years! Disclaimer: NO, I am not on staff/faculty with UMDNJ, not one of the lecturers, etc... simply, I have NO personal gain financially or otherwise. I just really believe it made the different in me passing my PANRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjl1717 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Great! From my research also it appears to be a nice bang for the buck..Although I would not say $350. is nothing.....Thx!! Also I was wondering: Which course might be considered 2nd to the UMDNJ course for PANCE/PANRE ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanJ Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 CME resources offers essentially the same program, but only as a live lecture and not something you can view over the internet like with the UMDNJ. The UMDNJ course is also offered live, but personally, after having done the online course and previously attended the live version, I will never attend the live lecture again. Agreed $350 is not nothing, but compared with the $825 for the live conference, plus airfare and hotel if it doesn't happen to be in an area close to you.... add in food, transportation, etc... you could be looking at close to $2,000 for that week as opposed to staying at home and doing the online course for $350. Again, having done both, the online (at least for me) was by far the better deal especially since it was virtually the same material and phenomenal lecturers aside the other obvious advantages such as re-watching the lecture as many times as you want; pausing when you want to take a break, skipping portions you are most comfortable with. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcamp11857 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I agree, the UMDNJ is proving to be a great way to study. Has anyone taken the surgical option for the PANRE? I have worked in surgery for 12 years and am thinking that is the obvious way for me to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
