I'm a CA1. My program does monthly mock orals with all residents, and to be honest, I suck at them. The attendings say I'm doing OK but I know my answers to questions posed during mock orals suffer from disorganization and lack of focus. The knowledge base is coming along just fine. I put up a 99% on the AKT6, so the answer isn't more time reading Morgan & Mikhail or Barash.
Has someone published, free on the net, a collection of oral board scenarios, complete with stem, series of questions from the examiner, and solid answers? I am not as yet prepared to pay $100s or $1000s for materials of this nature.
Among textbooks I've found, Yao and Artusio is closest to what I want, but the answers are extremely verbose and not what one would actually SAY during an oral exam.
This is fairly close to what I'm looking for. Lots of [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Would you avoid N2O?" followed by.[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] "Yes. Due to the potential for the nitrous-induced expansion of microbubbles introduced during establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass and the possibility of cerebral embolic sequelae, I would avoid N2O for this procedure."
TIA.
