Anesthesia folks: Taking CCM exam without passing oral boards?

I'm in that agonizing period between taking that awful exam and waiting for the result. Statistically I probably passed, but my brain won't accept it until I get the email.

SO if I didn't pass, does that mean I wouldn't be able to take the CCM exam in October? ABA's website doesn't say much.

I believe that is correct. I had a colleague who did not pass oral boards, and I am pretty sure she had to delay the CCM exam for a year.

Yup. Can’t. I had to delay CCM boards as I delayed taking orals

Yeah I delayed mine to next April. Guess I’m delaying CCM boards as well. What program you at?

Yes that is my understanding as well. I did not do oral boards during fellowship so did not get result in time to sign up for ccm. I took the oral boards in September of ccm graduation year. It made no difference for jobs if that is a concern. You’re still board eligible.
