AO Spine NA Part II Oral Boards Review

Practice presenting selected cases to expert faculty and prepare for the ABOS oral examination with real-time questions and feedback

Description

Are you a spine surgeon preparing to take your oral boards?

This one-day workshop, designed for spine surgeons by board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons, will simulate the oral examination given by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS).

You will have an opportunity to present your selected spine and other cases to expert faculty who will ask questions and provide feedback to help you prepare for the exam. There will be a participant-to-faculty ratio of 2:1. Faculty will evaluate you on data gathering, interpretive and technical skills, diagnosis and treatment, outcomes, and applied knowledge.

While this program was initially designed for board-eligible orthopedic spine surgeons preparing to take the Part II ABOS (Oral) Examination, we also encourage registration for neurosurgeons looking to review spine cases prior to their boards. Sign up today—spaces in this course are limited to ensure the appropriate faculty-to-participant ratio.
