Description
Pass your Otolaryngology certification exam by honing your critical reasoning and evaluation skills in an intensive 2-day case review course designed to help you zero in on what is most clinically relevant for diagnosis, developing a management plan, and surgical approach, if required, in all pertinent areas of otolaryngology. The course begins with a lecture on critical reasoning skills that will be emphasized during the mock oral exams to follow. The remainder of the course consists of a series of board-relevant cases presented as half-hour public mock oral exams followed by faculty feedback. Participants and faculty review one-on-one in a 25-minute simulation of the oral board exam. You may request intermittent critiques or a straight exam followed by a critique.
Course fees include participating in 2 mock oral exams. Participants may purchase additional mock orals if desired; however, availability may be limited within two weeks of the start of the course. Enter Mock Oral topic preference(s) in the indicated boxes when registering.
