Hi,

I was curious about what resources are available that have a very good and reliable reputation of helping someone prepare for the oral part of the board certification exam.

Thanks

This was posted to the mentoring board, but I don't have an answer. I prepared by doing some mock exams with faculty at my institution, and by doing a few of my less critical evals at work in "board style".

Any other ideas? I know there are commercial resources, but they're expensive, and probably redundant for those who went to decent programs.

The textbook Boarding Time was pretty helpful in terms of describing the actual process of the oral boards, but I agree with OPD that the most helpful thing is mock exams - the more you do, the more relaxed you'll be.

A dear thank you to both of you. 🙂
