The Osler “Until You Pass” Guarantee

The Osler Institute is committed to providing high-quality education to our learners. We offer courses that are guaranteed to help them confidently pass their examinations. In the unlikely event that a learner does not pass their examination, we allow them to re-enroll in a course tuition-free* until they succeed. Suppose you have attended an Osler course or subscribed to an online review and failed the examination for which the course was designed within the following nine months. In that case, you can re-enroll in an Osler course or resubscribe to the same term online review until you pass. This offer is tuition-free, but a corresponding failed examination attempt must precede each free course.
Please be aware that the course registration fee does not cover hotel costs, meeting amenities, or any additional mock orals or study materials. If you want to enroll in a course under the guarantee, please complete the enrollment process at least 30 days before the course start date. By doing so, you can avoid any late fees that may apply if you enroll after this time frame.

*Some restrictions apply: The course must be equal to or of a lesser value than the previous course. You may upgrade to a different course at a discounted rate. If the same course isn’t available, we offer a three-month subscription-based course in its place. Additional mock orals or a la carte course options are excluded from our guarantee option.

TESTIMONIAL

What Learners Say About Osler

It’s a great course with great instructors and beneficial tips. (Fall 2023 Ophthalmology candidate)

Ophthalmology Board Candidate, Fall 2023

This has been an excellent experience. The examiners were very helpful and instructive. Videos online are an incredible resource. Big fan of the live sessions.

I’ve been in practice 32 years, the fundamentals remain the same, and the course was a perfect review for my type of practice.

Doc Ling – The instructors are top notch and the best in their field with sincere desire to help physicians pass their most grueling endeavor yet.

Doc Ling

We just received our results for the General Surgery Certifying Exam today, and I passed and will now be board-certified in general surgery. I wanted to thank you and the entire Osler team for all the help and support, especially in this last month before the exam in March. I can't express enough how much I appreciate it. I was always given supportive advice and never put down or made to feel bad about my initial inability to get through the cases. Please let the instructors know they are truly helpful and to keep up the amazing work, as it is truly beneficial! I can't thank you all enough. "Spring 2024 Exam Candidate"

"Dear Osler Institute, I am taking the time out to write you a letter of heartfelt appreciation for the Oral Surgery Board review course which I took this year. My Zoom sessions and mocks were held on September the 6th. A special thanks to Dr. Bildzukewicz, whom with I had almost 2-3 hours of sessions with on that day. I received my results a few days ago and I have passed my General Surgery Oral examination. Thank you for your aid in helping me complete my most final and critical step in my career as a general surgeon. Sincerely and yours best, Dr. Radu, D.O., M.S. Board Certified General Surgeon"
