the 3 most difficult subjects on boards
A Boost Where You Need It The Most.
The KMK Booster® Course is developed around the 3 subject areas Optometry students struggle with most on boards: Optics, Anatomy/Disease, and Pharmacology.
Included with the KMK Signature course and available as an upgrade to KMK Core and KMK Plus.
Take Your Review To The Next Level.
Based on 10 years of statistics, when Optometry students are unsuccessful on boards it is usually in 1 or more of these 3 areas: Ocular Anatomy & Ocular Disease, Pharmacology and Optics.
The Booster course video series along with the innovative Booster Course Textbook is designed to elevate your review in these 3 key areas.
Based On Research
Optometry students are smart, but each year some students report failing boards. Through analysis of these failed reports, KMK found the root cause is always 1 or more of the 3 areas in the Booster Course.
15+ Hour Video Course
Online videos help you dominate the book. Just open your book and then click play. Instructors will guide you through each diagram and flow chart, page by page.
Perfect for Visual Learners
Includes an awesome 70+ page book of custom created diagrams with flow charts, summary tables, and pictures to illustrate key points.
Information Overload
Part 1 covers a ton of information and memorization is not effective in passing this exam. The Booster Course is designed to help you advance your review in 3 areas that matter most.
SCHEDULE & CLARITY
KMK was a great tool that I used to give myself a schedule I could follow when studying for boards. I knew what material I had to cover and when to complete it. I also enjoyed the teamwork aspect, being able to study and discuss with other students and doctors about material. Definitely a great perk.

A GREAT FOUNDATION
KMK’s Signature Course has forever changed how I view optometry and patient care. I am both a visual and kinesthetic learner that needs constant repetition to dominate key concepts, and the KMK team really helped me piece everything together through their simple diagrams, forum, and active webinars. Signature gave me incredible structure, support, and a great foundation for not only Part I, but the rest of my career!
