Inside this resource
Psychiatric Disorders Deep Dive
The first pillar allocates the most time to high-yield disorder categories: four-part series on psychotic, personality, bipolar, and substance-related disorders, a five-part depressive disorders track, and a seven-part neurocognitive disorders block. Each lecture uses case vignettes and clinical pearls to reinforce diagnostic and management decisions.
Psychiatry Fundamentals
Nine sessions cover the building blocks tested on the MOC exam: behavioral science, psychopharmacology, neuroimaging, developmental psychiatry, forensics and ethics, epidemiology, public policy, biostatistics, and research methods. These lectures bridge basic science with the clinical reasoning required at the board level.
Neurology Science and Disorders
Thirteen neurology lectures span neuroanatomy, headaches, head trauma, stroke, seizures, peripheral nerve disease, Parkinson’s disease, infectious neurology, spinal cord pathology, multiple sclerosis, cerebellar disorders, neuro-oncology, and cortical syndromes. This block fills the neurology knowledge gap many psychiatrists face during certification exams.
Who this serves
- Psychiatrists preparing for MOC recertification — targeted three-pillar structure aligned with exam content
- Residents in late training — a comprehensive neurology and fundamentals review before graduation

Before you buy
How is this different from the C-L review?
This course focuses on general psychiatry MOC certification content with a dedicated neurology block, whereas the consultation-liaison review targets organ-system psychiatry for the C-L subspecialty exam.
Are the neurology sessions sufficient for exam prep?
The 13 neurology lectures cover the major topics typically tested on the general psychiatry boards, including stroke, seizures, Parkinson’s, MS, and cortical syndromes.

Laura H. –
As someone who had been out of residency for years, this psychiatry MOC board review 2018 was exactly the structured refresher I wanted. The epidemiology and public policy sections filled gaps I did not realize I had.

The three-pillar layout is exactly what I needed for MOC prep. The neurocognitive disorders block alone with seven lectures gave me the depth that a single review book could never match. Dr. Krasuski keeps every session clinically focused.
Priya –
The substance disorders eight-part series was thorough but some lectures ran long for the amount of new material covered. Still, having the neurology lectures integrated with the psychiatry content was incredibly helpful for exam day.
Sarah K. –
Solid content across all three sections. The fundamentals block with biostatistics and research methods was surprisingly engaging. Some of the pharmacology lectures could use updated guidelines but the core teaching was strong.
M. Alvarez –
Forty-seven hours for under fifty bucks is remarkable value. The Parkinson’s and MS neurology lectures by Dr. Dayalu were outstanding. I passed my MOC exam comfortably using this as my main study resource.
Chen W. –
The forensics and ethics session packed a lot into 75 minutes. Personality disorders and bipolar lectures used case vignettes that made the material stick. The PDF companion notes were well organized for last-minute review.
