Psychiatry Oral Boards Review for ABPN II        

Register now!

Dear Colleagues,

Obtaining the ABPN Diplomate status is tough. In fact, the passing rate in the psychiatry oral boards is about the same as the failure rate.

Why?

It’s not because of your lack of knowledge, your incompetence, or your lack of skills.

The fact is, you’ve hurdled psychiatry training for four or more years, and have read hundreds of relevant pages on psychiatry.

The fact is, you’ve successfully treated hundreds of patients during training and clinical practice.

The fact is, you’ve been supervised by dedicated and hard working academicians and skillful clinicians for years.

The fact is, you’ve dealt with a variety of complex clinical scenarios when on-call.

The fact is, you’ve assessed and treated urgent and emergent patients almost daily.

So why prepare for the boards? For others, why fail the oral exam?

If you’ve already failed, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter how good you are before and after the exam. If you don’t ‘show’ your abilities during the exam, the examiners will find a good reason to fail you.

In this examination, you only need one thing — to show that you are a competent and a safe clinician.

Yes, it’s a show. Yet, it may be the best or worst show of your life. You have a choice.

The key is how to effectively show your abilities and skills before the examiners.

This program teaches you how to effectively present a ‘great show’ through various  organizing techniques and presentation skills that can improve your performance and increase your chance of passing.

Regardless of your board exam result, this review course offers professional gain. Implementing the various practical strategies should improve your clinical skills.
