Search this forum. Posts about this, including recently, and by me as well.
From what I recall -- something like five or so weeks, I think it was, when I got boarded last year?

I really felt like we were going to find out today. Bumber 🙁
You and me both. The waiting is killer. It absolutely does not take this long to do get the results and validate them in this day and age. I don’t get the point of having it take this long at all.
Yeah my friend who is an anesthesiologist - he took his oral boards after me and got the results last week.

I got mine a year to the date yesterday... Popped up quick. I actually found out because my ABEM page changed and my recert date became a decade later. Took a while to process it then I cracked many MANY beers hahaha

You did good too!If you google "ABEM Oral boards results" the first link answers your question.

Check later this afternoon just in case. Pretty sure I got mine on a Friday at 5-6 weeks out.

Totally normal.
They don't care about you or your test, they have their money already

So what about the 2% that actually do fail? is it that they do overtly "dangerous actions" more than once or something?
Pretty sure it will be some time this week, maybe even today.

Were they released in the morning, afternoon or evening?? haha
(Anyone ever see the South Park episode where Cartman froze himself because he couldn't bear waiting 3 months for the new nintendo to come out? lol)

Still nothing so frustrating
How about not? Not a good idea. Nothing will change. People that passed, passed. People that failed will still have failed.
You do it and let us know what they say !

I don't think you will get "in trouble" if you call? And who knows, maybe they will say they will be out by the end of the day, or the end of the week? It's the perpetual uncertainty that is rough. I'm sure they have already fielded a bunch of phone calls anyway, but might be worth a shot?

Back door to verify passing up!
Log in and look at when your certification expires. Mine says 12/31/2028 now! Same way people were looking previously.

And now I can see the vast amounts of MOC too...
Same ! doesn’t show up as a score in “view examination history” though. whatever!!
Board certified !

it's over =)
Still don’t understand why it takes so long for these tests. Nurses and PAs don’t have to wait anywhere near as long for their results.
Definitely glad I can say ABEM board certified now!

You should definitely continue to judge your profession by the standards of nurses and PAs.
I meant from the standpoint of releasing results for standardized tests and ensuring the quality has been maintained. Your point is noted though poor choice for a comparison.
Congrats to the newly board certified - now comes that wait for your board certificate (after orals of course). Don't be surprised if you end up NOT getting a certificate at all, or get somebody else's certificate (with or without your own certificate). All of these things have happened, and are likely going to continue. I wonder if ABEM employs monkey butlers to send out their certificates...

Congratulations!!
Furthermore, its not an impressive certificate at all.
Damn it, given what I had to go through to get it, that thing ought to be solid gold.
It should also appreciate each year, like a rare baseball card, or coin, or something of the like.
I was turbo pissed off when I got my cert in the mail, and it was just.... an 8.5x11 joke.
I am a board certified badass. I am board certified to put a needle in your heart and suck out the badness that will kill you. This is what I get !?!
