For those taking the Physics/Radiobiology Board Exam, the following resources may be useful for Radiobiology:

1. Radiobiology Lectures- The lecture series is provided courtesy of William Mcbride PhD, DSc, a professor in the department of radiation oncology at the University of California, Los Angeles. The lectures cover core topics in radiobiology that are fundamental to residents in training.

2. 2010-2013 ASTRO Radiation and Cancer Biology Practice Examination and Study Guides

3. The 2007-2009 ASTRO Radiation and Cancer Biology Study guides are available within the Resident Forum File Library within RO Hub (using ASTRO login)

Good luck!

FYI- the ASTRO radbio study guide committee does their best not to repeat questions for three years. I recommend starting with 2013, 2012, and 2011. If you finish those and really want more questions, you can go back further. However, some of the questions may repeat. Good luck!

My 2¢: there is not "one resource" that will guarantee you pass. Remember, this is a licensing exam, not a first semester O-Chem midterm. If you know the key concepts well, you should be fine. If you are starting now - which is by no means too late - I recommend focusing on Hall and the ASTRO MCQ study guides. The reviews at the end of the Hall chapters are nice ways to jog your memory. Finally, remember that this is only my 2¢, so take it for what it is worth.

P.S. For physics, I primarily used the McDermott and Orton book and RAPHEX. This advice is only worth 1¢.
