PM&R Oral Boards: How to prepare?

[nwbgn]

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!

...Anyone?

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"?

No, but you will have to verbally state it.

Any suggestion for written boards??????

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

 

[cartoondoc]

I thought the SAE-P's are part of the study guides?

 

[rockypain]

drvlad2004; Thanks a lot. Anything else???

 

[axm397]

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.

Hello

Anybody has those review CDs avaliable?

 

[ivyleague22ny]

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?

 

[Rehabdoc2011]

I have the archives of pmr study guides from 2000-2010 if anyone wants to buy from me at a reduced price. PM me!

 

[mcnaper]

PM me for more info. Due to the requests, my office will be able to get a few of these 3 CD sets burned and shipped before next week.

Again , PM me for more more info.

[mommyz]

HI Can I get a copy of those CDs?

 

[paciencia]

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,

 

[DOctorJay]

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!
