Why do people panic studying for ABOG/ AOBOG?
People panic when studying for the ABOG / AOBOG because it’s scary.
A lot of people finish residency procrastinate on taking their oral boards and then panic and take it with only 1-2 attempts left (new rules apply you have take orals 6 years from graduating residency).
Unfortunately many candidates are not in academic settings have not been keeping up with ACOG standards and try to play 5 years of catch-up in 3 months before the exam. The result, yup you’ve guessed it board failure.
I can not stress how important it is to read daily you get the green journal”¦so don’t just look at the cover! Open it go to the website incorporate new standards in your practice”“ educate your RN’s change the standards on L&D.
It shocks me how many candidates still treat all low risk patients with unknown GBS >37 weeks with penicillin”“that is not the standard of care. Yet busy practitioners fail to keep on top of new guidelines.
I started my website to help candidates with recurrent board failures and re-educate them on standards. Its not easy to pass after you fail”“ several people end up with PTSD and severe test taking anxiety.
My goal”¦I want to improve our profession to re-educate OB/GYN’s on new standards that”s why I’m teaching GYN in November at the ABC Board review course.
BEST PIECE OF ADVICE”¦.STUDY now”¦ you can’t afford to cram”¦ and don’t just blindly purchase everything.. you’ll be overwhelmed
