The Surgical Oncology Virtual Mock Oral Course is a comprehensive, interactive educational program designed to strengthen clinical reasoning, oncologic decision-making, and communication skills in preparation for the Surgical Oncology Oral Certifying Examination.
Through realistic, board-style clinical scenarios, participants practice evaluating complex oncologic cases, developing evidence-based treatment strategies, and effectively communicating clinical decisions under examination conditions. The course emphasizes multidisciplinary cancer management, surgical planning, operative decision-making, and the ability to organize and present clinical information clearly and confidently.
Live Private Mock Oral Sessions
Registration includes one private, 30-minute virtual mock oral session designed to simulate the format and pace of the oral board examination. During each session, participants work through realistic clinical scenarios with experienced Osler faculty examiners and receive individualized feedback, assessment, teaching points, and practical guidance to identify areas requiring additional preparation.
Additional private 30-minute mock oral sessions may be purchased for further individualized practice and focused faculty feedback, subject to availability.
Recorded Video Library
Participants also receive access to pre-recorded, one-on-one mock oral examinations featuring individual candidates and Osler faculty examiners. These sessions cover essential Surgical Oncology topics and provide opportunities to observe clinical reasoning, case presentations, examiner interactions, and faculty feedback.
The recorded library allows participants to review challenging scenarios, reinforce clinical knowledge, and observe effective oral examination techniques at their own pace.
Live Virtual Course Format
The course is conducted through Zoom Cloud Meetings, providing live audio and video interaction between participants and experienced Osler faculty. Interactive Q&A sessions offer additional opportunities to discuss challenging clinical scenarios and reinforce key concepts.
A computer with a reliable internet connection, webcam, and microphone is recommended for the best learning experience.
