Sarah C. –
Good content overall but the video player interface in the HTML bundle could be more intuitive. Took some getting used to navigating between lectures.
Lauren K. –
Comprehensive coverage of the palliative medicine blueprint. The disease-specific modules on cancer and organ failure were exactly what I needed. Would have liked a bit more on pediatric palliative care.
Priya S. –
Passed the HPM exam on my first attempt after going through these lectures twice. The PDFs with slides were incredibly helpful for quick review.

Thorough and well-organized board prep material. The ethics section was thorough. My only gripe is the file size — 12.54 GB took a while to download, but the quality is worth it.
Michael P. –
The spiritual and psychosocial dimensions of end-of-life care were covered with real depth. This goes well beyond surface-level board review material.
Karen M. –
The lectures on complex pain management and opioid-induced neurotoxicity were outstanding. MD Anderson faculty really know how to break down difficult concepts for board prep.

Excellent resource for anyone preparing for the ABIM HPM exam. The communication techniques lectures were practical and immediately applicable in clinical practice.
