PM&R Oral Boards: How to prepare?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those who recommend the Archives of PM&R study guides, do you recommend reviewing only the recent set of study guides (6th edition), or also the old study guides as well? It seems that the 6th edition carries the same subject titles as the previous editions, however the vignettes can be quite different. Thanks in advance!

Much of the information in the new study guides is similar to past study guides, just new cases. If you are strapped for time just review the new study guides.

Also, I echo the previous recommendations to talk through the cases with your colleagues. I know several people who trained at top programs that failed the oral boards because they blew it off and didn't get used to talking through their responses. This was my first real test where I had to give my answers orally, and you can get lost in your response even if you know your stuff.

Do they still make you "write prescriptions"?

I relied heavily on reading Cuccurulo and it helped a lot. You really need to give yourself a couple of months of studying for the exam and then you should do fine.
 
Are the SAEP's and study guides same or different. SAE's are good for written boards . I am not sure if you have to study them for oral boards
 
i did cuccurullo, memorized most things in choi (pocketpedia), and did most of the SAE-R questions. it's a poorly written test but the pass rate is relatively high.
 
I am also interested in the CDs. How do I get a copy? Thanks.

I browsed some posts and couldn't find a post by Melancholy to enable me to PM. Do you have an email, link, or other suggestion for me to be able to PM Melancholy....

Anybody else out there with info or access to study CDs. I am highly motivated to get a hold of them and willing to do what it take$. Reply or PM me please.
 
I am interested in the CDs and other studyguides as well. Please message me.
 
Hello

Anybody has those review CDs avaliable?
 
On the earlier posts, people mentioned in preparation for the ORAL boards, studying the "Study Guides from the Archives." Now that the Archives are gone, are you referring to studying Case Studies on the AAPMR website?
 
I have the archives of pmr study guides from 2000-2010 if anyone wants to buy from me at a reduced price. PM me!

Hi, this is a very old thread, but hopefully someone will see it. I am trying to find the Archives of PM&R cases that you guys keep posting but I can't. Anyone can send me a link? Also, does anyone still have the CDs mentioned above?
Thank you,
 
Just memorize Choi and have a full script that you do exactly the same for each case so you don't miss anything.
 
The purple journal may have similar cases. Have you tried asking people who graduated before you? Remember to practice out loud (what questions you would ask, what your differential will be, etc) so you can get used to speaking.
 
ahh 2007 when people still talked about burning stuff on CDs!
