Dear AuntMinnie Member,
June may seem a long way off to some people, but if you're preparing for the oral boards it's just around the corner. If you are one of the lucky few who plan to spend June 6-9 in Louisville, KY, then we've got a treat for you: a complete how-to guide for taking the American Board of Radiology oral boards, written by someone who's been in the hot seat.
"Preparing for the ABR oral exam: a resident's guide" is a special feature we're offering to AuntMinnie members in our Residents Digital Community. Available as a downloadable PDF, the guide features the advice, musings, and bons mots of Dr. Stephen Humes, who passed his oral boards last year.
You'll find tips on which books to read, how the exam is scored, whether to take a review course, and other crafty strategies. Especially valuable is the advice on how to comport yourself during the exam. Got a chip on your shoulder, or a gunslinger mentality? Leave it at the door -- it won't win you points in Louisville.
To download the guide, just head to our Residents Digital Community at http://residents.auntminnie.com. It's free (although you'll need an Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer). When you're done, you can talk about it in our Residents Discussion Group here.
