Testimonials
“There were a couple of times where I felt lost in the process of completing the documentation needed to apply for the addiction medicine exam. Each time, the MI CARES staff responded to my questions, reassured me and proofed my documents. I also felt Dr. Poland’s enthusiasm and encouragement were crucial in completing the process. I can’t say enough about how much the staff cares about participants’ success.”

“The preparation and application process for ABPM’s ‘Practice Pathway’ is complicated and often confusing. The best available coaching through this process, by far, was in-person counseling by the MI CARES team. MI CARES’ CME-accredited educational materials were a great confidence-builder and helped me pass the Addiction Medicine exam on my first attempt. I will always be grateful to our MI CARES colleagues for their help!”

“Dr. Poland was wonderful. She was so passionate about what she was teaching us, and I really thought that she did a great job of teaching us the material! Her use of board-style questions and answers was very helpful. I also felt that her teaching style was so engaging, it really helped me to stay focused for the entire lecture! I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Poland!”

“I enjoyed Dr. Poland’s segment. The modules she provided include a wealth of knowledge. In fact, I see myself re-listening to most of them in the future a second time. She is very kind as well and absolutely a delight to listen to.“

“I frankly would never have passed the certification exam without the structure of the MI CARES modules and the support of the staff. I have lots of practical experience in addiction and recovery, but lacked much of the knowledge of the science of addiction neurobiology and the best practices for evidence-based addiction treatment.”

“MI CARES helped me tremendously in my quest to become boarded in Addiction Medicine. They helped me review my log of patients and had excellent suggestions of how to prepare for my board application as well as how to prepare for the boards. The videos were thorough and an invaluable source of information about different topics in Addiction Medicine. I highly recommend MI CARES to anyone interested in learning more about Addiction Medicine and in becoming boarded in the field.”

“I was denied not once but twice to sit for the addiction medicine exam prior to coming across MI CARES. I can confidently say that I would not have been successful without your help. Please continue this work! I will certainly be encouraging anyone I know who is interested in the practice pathway to utilize MI CARES. Thank you so much!”
