Description
This Surgical Oncology virtual mock oral course is a comprehensive review designed to help you pass the Surgical Oncology oral exam. This hands-on approach mirrors the format used in the American Board of Surgery oral board exam. Participants engage in 30-minute mock oral sessions that review cases and practice everyday clinical scenarios.
In addition to experiencing practical, organic mock oral exams, participants will receive a brief assessment and guidance from our accomplished faculty mock oral examiners. Also, they will have the opportunity to refine their thinking and communication skills. This will improve their ability to make informed decisions.
As a bonus with your registration, participants can access pre-recorded virtual one-on-one mock oral sessions between individual candidates and our top faculty, covering all required topic areas. Additionally, one complimentary virtual mock oral session is included. Participants may purchase as many additional virtual private mock oral sessions as needed.
The meeting will be conducted via Zoom Cloud Meetings, enabling audio and visual interaction between you and the faculty. It is recommended to have a computer with a stable internet connection to participate. With this online webinar course, you get the best of both worlds – the comfort and safety of your home or office. Additionally, you have the chance to learn from the Osler Faculty and your peers.
