| Every candidate needs to practice verbalizing their knowledge. Many courses provide a forum for practice, and any course that results in more practice is going to be of benefit to you in your pursuit of certification. Unfortunately, the vague feedback and superficial clinical discussions provided at many of these courses often fails to improve your test-taking skills beyond that which would have occurred had you spent the same amount of time practicing at home. If you decide to attend The Ultimate Board Prep, you will not only be exposed to multiple mock oral exams covering a multitude of difficult and controversial clinical scenarios that are favorites of The American Board of Anesthesiology, but you will also benefit from a proven curriculum designed to: (1) familiarize you with the actual exam; (2) point out the most common mistakes made by examinees, and how to avoid those mistakes; (3) make you aware of the often “bad” advice offered by well-meaning colleagues; (4) show you how to deliver a substantial amount of relevant information, with clarity, and within a very short period of time; and (5) teach you how to quickly change the focus of the exam from what you do not know, to what you do know; and ultimately (6) show you how to make an impression of competence and sound judgment during this important and subjective examination. Our goal at The Ultimate Board Prep is to do more than simply provide a forum for practice. Our goal is to show you how to master the oral boards. We strive to prepare you to excel even when presented with the most challenging clinical scenario, and when facing the most difficult and unforgiving examiner. For this reason, our mock oral exams tend toward the more difficult end of the spectrum when compared to actual ABA board questions. Each of these mock exams is then followed by a detailed clinical discussion, with emphasis on the management of the most difficult and challenging issues within the exam. At the same time, we show you how to utilize and apply the various strategies presented at the course in communicating your knowledge and defending your anesthetic plan. We know how important it is to you that you pass this examination, and that the time you have available for preparation is often limited by practice constraints, family, and other obligations. We firmly believe that attending our course is the best way to maximize the investment of your time and effort. We believe that The Ultimate Board Prep is simply the most effective anesthesia oral board course available, and we hope to see you soon. |
