sgc67 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thinking of attending a 3-day Panre review course. Any thoughts on which one is better...CME Resources or Certified Medical Educators? They seem pretty similar to me but wanted to hear from people who have attended either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpSite Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 My preceptor, aPA for 20 years, practiced in FM for 17, now doing GYN attends the 3-day in Chicago every year as her main source of review. She swears it's the best conference she's ever been to. Stresses it's review and not for the PANCE, but she's reiterated to me at least four times how much she appreciates that specific conference. FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpSite Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 As an aside, I don't know the company this is through, but I can ask on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiemw Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Good to hear that she likes the 3 day course. I'm considering taking the 3 day course (vs the 5 day course) in December or january. After 30 years of practice as a PA I can use the review but also have to take boards again in 2013. I've heard good things about the 5 day course.... don't think the 3 day course has been around all that long so it's not a surprise there haven't been any comments specifically about it.

sgc67 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I've signed up with CME Resources for a 3 day course in Jan in Chicago area. Hopefully it's OK, can't imagine sitting through 5 days of that. A co-worker went to a 3 day course with Certified Medical Educators and passed the boards without difficulty (we are both in IR so we practice little medicine).

starshine Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I know that CME Resources has been around for 16 years and has a good reputation. I attended their 5 day course. What I noticed is that CME Resources price is all-inclusive. where Certified Medical Examiners charges extra for certain things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToBeWhole Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey Everyone! I'm following this thread with interest because I am looking to see what will be the PANRE review course that will the right fit for me. When I took my PANCE I attended the 5 day CME Resources Course and was successful with my PANCE (I also studied 3 other review books). My question for those who have attended the 3 day course - did you like it? How does it compare with the 5 day? Also, has anyone tried this http://cme4life.com/shop/categories/board-review-course/ ? And what were your thoughts? Anyone reviewed for the PANRE on their own and just used review book? Which ones did you feel were the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiemw Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I opted for the 3 day course and will be attending this weekend. Anyone have any hotel recommendations for Chicago that won't break the bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartpac Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I tok the 3 day reveiw course in chicago last month thru CME resources.Very rushed with the speakers doing little more than reading some slides.I also failed the panre after taking it 3 times thru my career of 18 years. would not recommend the 3 day version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"ve been taking this blasted test for 30 years and I'm more than a little tired of it. I'm surprised I passed it last time. There were so many questions that I had no clue about and the correct answer to the test question would have been "consult my supervising physician" and in reality my SP wouldn't have known the answer to those questions either and would have consulted a specialist. I'm already signed up for the 3 day course and it's this weekend so I'll just have to see how it goes. Cross your fingers for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me laugh on what you said. :) I have been practicing for 4 years and I'm studying to take my first (of many) PANREs. Looking forward *cough* to it! Heheheh.

maliza09 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Has anyone done an online PANCE review course? I was trying to decide between the Kaplan video reviews or Hippo PA. Does anyone have an experience or feedback with either? I know my school provides the Emory board review for us the end of march but I wanted something to start in the mean time. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliPA2012 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hi, I took the CME Resource 5 day course and I thought it was amazing. I also took the HippoPA board review course and it was very good. I'm selling both if anyone is interested, message me and I can give you more detail. I'm selling the 5-day CME Resource course from January 2013 for $100 and HippoPA course which includes powerpoint lectures, mp3 audio lectures, and video lectures for $150. Thanks.

mainiac Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Anyone else have any input on 3 Day Live PANRE review course vs. online courses? Specifically: Live Course: 3 Day CME in "Original Chicago course" vs. 3 Day Certified Medical Educators (I see that CME includes EKG where Cert. Med. Ed. it's an extra $50!) Online: UMDNJ vs. HIPPO-PA vs. Kaplan Thanks ALL!!! This is my 1st PANRE! I also need the best bang for my $$. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBielinski Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I received this email last night: "Not going to lie, but at first I was seriously dreading sitting though 3 days of 10 hour classes. I thought, "there is no way I am going to stay awake, let alone learn anything after the first hour." You totally proved me wrong! I loved the fun, interactive approach you had to teaching; and your mnemonics and stories to remember things are awesome, and are already making it much easier for me to retain information. I am so excited to listen to my CDs and open my flashcards (nerd. I know) but this is like Christmas in July for me! haha." I love teaching people to master the concepts on the PANCE/PANRE. If you CAN'T STAND someone reading form slides, look at CME4Life. We make the information come alive. ANYONE CAN READ SLIDES. If you want that, stay home an read a review book. That is more a more efficient use of your time. www.CME4Life.com And, we have the Extreme Money Back Guarantee. if you fail, 1) Money back. 2) We pay for another review course 3) we pay for you to retake yoru boards. Really? Really. Also, we send you review material before the course. Really? Really. We are absolutely committed to your success.
