Submission of 1-2 Case(s)
During the afternoon sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to present their “nightmare” case or problem situation to the group and have them assist in coming up with the best defense strategy. We use this as a way to stimulate group discussion about how to prepare the case list and how to think like an examiner. In prior years, this has been one of the most popular portions of the course! Faculty will provide feedback at the end. Please type in the information directly from your case list into the template (Download the Office Template or the Surgical Cases Template). Be sure to include your name and then email your case directly to Jennifer Hastings at jennifer@americasboardreview.com.
Course Binder & USB - Link to Purchase
A reminder that you will receive a binder and we will provide a carrying bag to make it easy to transport while at the course. Also, we will have contents of the course binder available to purchase on a flash drive. The cost of the flash drive is $45 and will contain both a pdf and word document file.

Therefore, we would like to include you in our Peer Review Network for the review course. The roster of each attendee will include name and email.

Thesis Review with Dr. Modest - Link
