Get the best of both worlds
The combination of an in-person learning experience and APEX’s online review course is the perfect one-two punch to crush the NCE and SEE.
Although our online course has everything you need to pass boards, we understand that many students want an extra edge as they prepare.
If you want to learn from a fresh perspective, get additional support, interact with your peers, and take your learning to the next level, then Boards Bootcamp is for you.
Introducing Boards Bootcamp!
Boards Bootcamp isn't like other in-person review courses. Here's the APEX difference...
Two-day live event that's only available to APEX students
Meals and snacks included in the cost of your registration
Practice questions & handouts to supplement your learning
Online Q&A sessions provide additional support after the live event
Here's everything you'll get at Boards Bootcamp.
Join us for two days (7:00 – 17:00), where you’ll learn from world-class educators.
Quick 25-minute presentations focus on high-yield concepts you need to succeed on boards.
These aren’t basic review lectures! This content strategically supplements our online review course by integrating all four domains of the NCE content.
Our innovative curriculum encourages active learning with case studies and interleaved practice to help you connect the dots between the basic sciences and anesthesia practice.
Apply what you’re learning in real-time with app-based board-type questions incorporated into the presentations. Make the leaderboard to win prizes!
Follow along in class with color-printed handouts.
Compete with your peers in our anesthesia quiz bowl at the end of the event. Win prizes and strive for the glory and prestige of winning the bowl!
*Boards Bootcamp layers on to what you’re learning in our online review course (purchased separately). We suggest completing the tutorials in our online course at least once before the live event (this is recommended but not required).
You’ll be well-fed with breakfast, lunch buffet, and all-you-can-eat snacks and refreshments throughout both days of the live event (food is included in the cost of the Bootcamp).
To keep your costs down, we hand-selected an affordable 20-acre resort that’ll help you unwind during your time away from home.
Learn more about our venue (we have a limited number of discounted rooms available):
You’ll get access to two new exams that are only available for students who attend Boards Bootcamp:
- Pre-Bootcamp Exam = Take this 100 question exam up to 3 weeks before the live course. With a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, you’ll be more likely to master the material when we cover it in the live course.
- Post-Bootcamp Exam = Take this 100 question exam after you leave the live course to reinforce what you learned.
You’ll have access to both exams for 6 months after the start of Boards Bootcamp.
Learn with “them” for 3 days or learn with us over 3 months!
How many times have you left a lecture only to have questions arise later?
Our group Q&A sessions are designed to support your learning after you finish our live course.
We’ll invite you to join us for 3 group Q&A sessions (live-streamed once a month). Here’s how they’ll work:
- Submit your questions up to 1 week before the Q&A session.
- We’ll go live to answer the most common questions and provide clarity about the most commonly confused topics (each live stream will last approximately 90 minutes).
- Can’t make the live Q&A sessions? You can stream the replays for 6 months after the start of Boards Bootcamp.
*We’ll do our best to answer as many questions as we can, but it’s possible we won’t cover every question submitted to us.

Have questions?
We have answers.
I already have the APEX Student Review Course. Should I attend Boards Bootcamp?
We want to be clear upfront – our online review course has absolutely everything you need to pass the NCE.
But, we’ve heard from many students who want more…
If you want to learn from another perspective, get additional support, interact with your peers, and have the ability to ask questions, then Boards Bootcamp is for you.
When should I attend Boards Bootcamp?
We recommend enrolling in Boards Bootcamp within 1 year of graduation.
Boards Bootcamp layers on to what you’re learning in APEX. We suggest completing the tutorials in our online course at least once before the live event (this is recommended but not required).
How should I prepare for Boards Bootcamp?
Boards Bootcamp does not contain basic review lectures. Instead, you’ll get an interactive curriculum that supplements what you’re learning in APEX.
Here’s how to prepare for your Boards Bootcamp experience:
- Complete the Pre-Bootcamp Exam before attending the live event.
- Try to get through our online course one time before the live event (this is recommended but not required).
When will I receive the color-printed handouts?
We’ll give you a physical copy of our full-color Boards Bootcamp handouts when you attend the live event.
We do not provide a digital version of these handouts.
I can't attend Boards Bootcamp in person, do you have a virtual option?
Boards Bootcamp is an interactive, in-person event.
The two-day live event will not be available virtually.
Does Boards Bootcamp include 1:1 tutoring or 1:1 support?
Boards Bootcamp is a group learning experience—it does not include 1:1 tutoring or 1:1 support.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions during the live event, and you can submit your questions for our live-streamed Q&A sessions after the live course.
We’ll do our best to answer as many questions as we can, but it’s possible we won’t cover every question submitted to us.

No! Recording, streaming, or distributing any part of Boards Bootcamp is strictly prohibited.
Anyone who records, streams, or distributes any part of Boards Bootcamp will be immediately dismissed from the event AND their subscription to APEX will be terminated.

What is your cancelation policy?
You can receive a 100% refund if you cancel Boards Bootcamp for any reason up to 2 months before the live event.
We cannot provide a refund (full or partial) if you cancel Boards Bootcamp less than 2 months before the live event.
If we are forced to cancel the event due to state restrictions (e.g., COVID), then you will receive a 100% refund for the cost of Boards Bootcamp. We are not responsible for reimbursement for travel or any other expense.
Do you offer a discount on Boards Bootcamp?
We understand that many students live on a tight budget. We’ve done our very best to keep the cost a low as possible, so there aren’t any Boards Bootcamp discounts available.
