This course will help you improve your critical reasoning, evaluation, and communication skills through an intensive case review designed to help you zero in on what is most clinically relevant for diagnosis, surgical approach, and case management across all essential areas of general surgery. The course covers standard care-relevant cases utilizing a mock oral exam format. In addition, we’ve recorded virtual one-on-one mock oral sessions between individual volunteers and our best Faculty, covering all required topic areas to bring them to you. When you register for our virtual mock oral course, you receive access to stream the condensed video library (12 hours) PLUS two complimentary virtual private mock orals. As a unique aspect of our review, we will also offer 16 hours of live, unscripted mock oral exams followed by interactive Q&A sessions.
In addition, participants may purchase as many additional virtual private mock oral sessions.
*Faculty and topic availability may be limited over time.

The Osler “Until You Pass” Guarantee
The Osler Institute is committed to providing high-quality education to our learners. We offer courses that are guaranteed to help them confidently pass their examinations. In the unlikely event that a learner does not pass their examination, we allow them to re-enroll in a course tuition-free* until they succeed. Suppose you have attended an Osler course or subscribed to an online review and failed the examination for which the course was designed within the following nine months. In that case, you can re-enroll in an Osler course or resubscribe to the same term online review until you pass. This offer is tuition-free, but a corresponding failed examination attempt must precede each free course.
Please be aware that the course registration fee does not cover hotel costs, meeting amenities, or any additional mock orals or study materials. If you want to enroll in a course under the guarantee, please make sure that you complete the enrollment process more than 30 days before the course start date. By doing so, you can avoid any late fees that may apply if you enroll after this time frame.
*Some restrictions apply: The course must be equal to or lesser value than the previous course. You may upgrade to a different course at a discounted rate. If the same course isn’t available, we offer a three-month subscription-based course in its place. Additional mock orals or a la carte course options are excluded from our guarantee option.
