Why a program rather than 1-1 training?

With scores plummeting in 2022, I was being bombarded with requests for 1-1 training, but I kew that wasn't the best idea.

First of all the cost is a bit nuts. Back when I taught high school chemistry over twenty years ago, I was charging $80/hour. Today, I'd have to charge $200 a session. You'd be looking at a minimum of $1,000, but probably closer to $1,600 by the end.


Instead I came up with something SO MUCH BETTER and much more affordable. A hybrid program where I can teach all of the skills necessary to pass the PANCE, work with people where they need help, and do it as a group to build energy and share even more ideas and resources. This program has 10x the value of 1-1 training at a fraction of the cost.

It's Simple: 33 Days to Pass the PANCE changes lives. I've seen it so many times AND the April cohort will be open for enrollment on March 12th:

(but not for long)

Registration for the September cohort will open in August

Student Success Stories

"Thank you. I passed the PANCE! I went from a 287 in October to a 415 in January. I took it 3 months after, as soon as I could, and I improved by 128 points."

- Melissa Kotziers

"Hi Brian!!
I found out this morning that I passed my PANCE. I got 413. Not bad. I’m so thrilled 😁 and relieved. I was so glad I took your 33 day course.

That was an 82 point jump from my last score!"

-Tim Lund, PA-C

Just wanted to let you know that I passed the PANCE on my first take. I do want to share that I scored a 374.

You know my story, how I went to PA school with a baby (now toddler) and how I had a family death the month leading up to the PANCE. HOWEVER.... I used your skills when I was stuck and that took me just over the passing score while having a migraine, severe eye straining and little sleep the nights prior since my daughter was sick. I guess I just wanted to say... thank you.

- Ada Sulbaran, PA-C

"Our class average was 74% and I got a 77% which is fan-freaking-tastic to me! Thus far in PA school I have failed several exams, failed a clin med class and always performed below the class average before completing the 33 days program.

After completing it, I got my first A in BH, passed derm slightly above the class average and now this! I have never gone into such a big exam feeling so cool, calm and collected.
I am a much better test taker now thanks to all of the advice, tips and tricks."

- Jackie Orellana, PA-S

"Coach!!
I passed the PANCE!
I passed, got proposed to, climbed Half Dome at Yosemite, and am finally in front of my laptop to say thank you Thank You. THANK YOU.


I could not have made it through these last few months without your daily coaching through the 33 days program. (You already know how I feel about the program obviously because I've gotten 2 classmates to enroll)!

All thanks to you. I wanted to share the exciting news :)"

- Heather Hyon, PA-C

Hey Brian,

33 Day Program
Attempt 3) 373


I definitely think your program helped. I did everything I could to maximize my chances of passing the PANCE by following the key principles in the 33 day program.
I had so much riding on passing the PANCE this time around and it feels like a huge weight has finally been lifted off my shoulders!
Thanks for all your contributions to the PA world.

Understanding whether you're a fast or slow test-taker allows us to tailor strategies that enhance your inherent strengths while mitigating any weaknesses.
For those who tend to rush, we'll introduce techniques to slow down your pace, ensuring you avoid common errors and don't give away easy points. If you're on the slower side, don’t worry. You'll learn methods to significantly increase your speed without sacrificing accuracy. In fact, most students find accuracy goes up as well.

This week is a blend of mental fortitude and practical skills, vital for your success in the exam.

We'll cover effective review techniques, stress management strategies, and last-minute tips, all culminating in detailed question walkthroughs. These sessions are designed not just to review content, but to fine-tune your test-taking approach, giving you the confidence and clarity needed to excel on exam day. This is the time to solidify your preparation, harness your knowledge, and step into the exam fully prepared to achieve your best.

In addition to the daily lessons you'll also receive...

The Ultimate Study Schedule:

A comprehensive Content Calendar that tells you exactly what to study and when. I've designed this calendar to ensure that you stay on track throughout the program. Whether you're taking your exam at the end of the 33 days, months from now or working on EORS, I'll guide you on how to modify the schedule to fit your needs. Once it's set up your good to go. Even more important is that the calendar keeps you moving forward, and doesn't let you waste days floundering.


Diabolical Accountability:

I've incorporated a powerful accountability system. Trust me, once you experience it, you'll be motivated to stick to it. It's a game-changer in keeping you committed and focused.


Building Confidence and Self-Trust:

The PANCE is a mentally demanding exam that can challenge even the strongest individuals. I'll guide you through powerful techniques to bolster your confidence and combat intrusive thoughts. This is why the program spans 33 days, as it takes time to develop these crucial skills. You can't achieve this in just five days; it requires a comprehensive approach.


Vibrant Group Dynamic:

Join a vibrant community of like-minded individuals working towards the same goal. Our private group is filled with incredible energy and support. Even if you prefer to observe, reading everyone's stories and progress reports will inspire and motivate you. It's also an excellent platform for sharing resources, tips, and ideas.


Group Coaching Calls:

You'll have the opportunity to participate in four group coaching calls . These sessions offer valuable guidance and support throughout the program. It's not a solitary journey; the entire group, along with my expertise, is there to assist you. Ask questions, gain insights, and stay connected.


Live Question Walkthroughs:

An exciting experience as we tackle real questions together. Students randomly select questions, and we demonstrate my system live. You'll witness firsthand how to apply my techniques to various types of test questions to increase the odds of getting to the right answer, regardless of whether you're familiar with the content or not. It's an invaluable learning opportunity.

"There are so many places to pick up easy points and even more places to lose easy points. Blueprint Core Medical Content is the most critical piece of the puzzle, but it isn't the only piece. Most students are hemorrhaging points, and they don't even know it.

I want you to know your content knowledge, but I want you to have so many more tools available to you."

Brian Wallace, PA-C

I've put about everything I can into this program, but here are a few more things you'll get when you join.

02

The Post Game Interviews

Interviews with four PA-Cs after they'd taken their exams. You don't just hear from me. You hear from people who just took their tests! How did they feel? How did they prepare, and what would they tell someone getting ready for the PANCE?


I also include interviews with previous members of the 33 Days cohort to help you see where you're going and how everything comes together from the student's perspective. I've had a huge percentage of my students offer to do this for you and for me because they're thrilled with their results and want the same for you.

03

Wallace's Notebook: A Reductionist Approach to Medicine

This book is the culmination of over 10 years of work. It's the entire PANCE Blueprint distilled down to the barest of essentials. It's still over 250 pages, but it's as tight as I can get it.

I know you've got questions: FAQ

Is this like a 5-day cram course over 33 Days?


Not at all! Imagine this as an engaging and enlightening adventure towards PANCE victory, far removed from the usual cram session. Yes, understanding medical content is vital for the PANCE, but our program dives deeper. PA schools excel in teaching the medical essentials, and there are myriad resources for medical content out there. Our approach, however, centers around you actively applying what you've learned in a structured, yet dynamic way. We don't just offer medical lectures; we guide you in effectively utilizing your knowledge. And while we include Wallace's Notebook, a comprehensive guide to the NCCPA blueprint, our main focus is on empowering you with strategies, confidence, and test-taking prowess. It's a journey of discovery, transformation, and triumph

What will I learn in the 33 Days to Pass the PANCE program?


From day one, you're in for a daily dose of transformative lessons. Each lesson is a carefully crafted mix of skills, tools, and philosophies proven to significantly boost scores. The first part of the program focuses on mastering your mindset for peak performance, coupled with advanced learning strategies. We then shift gears to cognitive test-taking techniques, designed to maximize your scoring potential with the knowledge you already possess.


You'll identify your unique test-taking style, learning to optimize your approach for maximum efficiency. We cover everything from dissecting different types of PANCE questions to strategies for when you're stumped or stuck choosing between two seemingly correct answers. It's not just about knowing the content; it's about mastering the art of the test – and that's what we'll do together!

How long is each lesson? How much of a time commitment are we talking about here?

When creating this program, my priority was to support your studies without overwhelming you. The reality is, to pass the PANCE, dedicated study time is non-negotiable. Until we can directly download knowledge into our brains, the hard work is up to you. But don't worry, I've designed the daily lessons to be concise yet impactful, ranging from just 8 to 50 minutes, with an average length of around 15 minutes. My focus has been on delivering potent, no-fluff content that enhances your learning without eating into your valuable study time.


Apart from the daily lessons, I'll also introduce select activities each day, specifically chosen to boost your confidence and critical thinking skills. These activities will take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your approach. So, in total, you're looking at a commitment of approximately 30 to 90 minutes per day for the program. This leaves you ample time to dive into your own studies or attend to other important tasks in your day.

Do I have to be on live for anything?

Absolutely not. Recognizing the diverse schedules and circumstances of our participants, I've intentionally designed the program to be asynchronous. This approach caters to those with hectic schedules, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the program at their own pace. However, for those who wish to engage more interactively, there's a robust group component available.


The daily lessons are made accessible each morning at 6 AM, allowing you the flexibility to incorporate them into your routine as you see fit. Whether you prefer to kickstart your day with these lessons or go through them later in the evening, the choice is yours. This flexibility ensures that the program adapts to your lifestyle, not the other way around.

I thought you said there would be live calls?


Yes, there are live calls included in the program!
These sessions are an excellent opportunity to address any challenges you're facing, clarify concepts we're learning, and exchange ideas about the best resources and implementation strategies. Additionally, we'll conduct LIVE question walkthroughs. In these sessions, we'll apply our system for answering test questions to actual examples, going through them together in real-time.


Attending these calls live is highly beneficial as it allows for direct interaction and immediate feedback. However, if you can't make it to the live sessions, there's no need to worry. You're welcome to submit your questions beforehand, and we'll ensure they're addressed. All coaching sessions will be recorded and made available for you to review at your convenience, ensuring you don't miss out on these valuable learning experiences.

When does it start?

The program officially begins on the first of the month, but in order to hit the ground running on the first, there is a little prework to go through. For example, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the program and choose your resources (I will walk you through how to do that). You'll also want to introduce yourself to the group.

What do you mean by the group?

We use Social Lair as the hub of activity inside the 33 Days program. Think Facebook private group without all the distractions. Aside from the daily lessons, this is where the action is. This is where I post all of the information about the course, but even more, this is where you can come and ask questions and share ideas with the entire cohort. One thing people LOVE about this program is the ability to talk with people who are in their position. People who know what they're going through. And I'm always amazed by the new and fantastic answers to questions I find inside the group. The last two cohorts have even set up their own outside study groups once they've gotten to know each other.

What about medical content?

We set up the content calendar for the group to follow. We break down the Blue Print and assign specific topics to specific days, but we largely leave it up to you as to how you'd like to cover that content. We have a lot of suggestions, but one of our goals is to keep everything as flexible as possible. That means you can most likely use the resources you already have and don't have to buy anything new. The calendar is great because it helps push you along and keeps everyone together. Everyone working on the same systems makes it so that people can share ideas and resources that are relevant to the entire group.

Wait a minute. What if my situation is different?

This program is what I've affectionately termed "rigidly flexible." I designed it to have a few nonnegotiables that must be completed every single day of the program, but outside of that, the program is adjustable to your situation by design. We have students working on EORS. We have students about to graduate. We have people working full-time. We have people who are focusing 100% of their time on passing the PANCE. We have people getting ready for the PANRE. All we ask is that you make a daily commitment to the program. Complete the daily lesson and daily activities that we ask of you every day. It doesn't matter when you get them done, only that you commit to getting them done every day. After that, you have ultimate flexibility in how you handle the rest of the program. For example, I recommend that 95% of members stick to our content calendar, but if you're a student out on rotations moving toward an EOR, our content calendar doesn't make sense for you. You'll complete everything else, but you'll create your own calendar (we'll help).


Still not sure if 33 Days is right for you?

You should give 33 Days to Pass the PANCE a 14-day risk-free shot if you’re motivated by any of the following:

You want your life back

Whether you've failed the PANCE or you're struggling to keep up it's all the same feeling. To much time working for to little results. I want to help you flip that on it's head. I want you to get higher scores and spend MORE time with your friends and family.

You're not afraid to put in the work

33 Days will teach you what work to do so that you can get the results you're looking for, but it will take work. If you're happy to put in the work and see the results this is the program for you.

You recognize there is no “perfect time”

You will never have more time. The truth is the sooner you learn the lessons inside this program the sooner you'll have more time.
