Demystify the Oral Board Exam with STS Prep
Course Description
The STS Mock Oral Exam Course helps decrease the stress of the Board exam by allowing trainees to prepare for and practice with the oral exam format. This course features two parts:
- A collection of online modules and resources that provide an overview of effective oral exam test-taking strategies, the anatomy of an oral exam, and mock oral exam dos and don’ts. These will be provided 1-2 weeks prior to the live, online mock exam session.
- A live, virtual, 1.5-hour role-playing session that groups trainees with mock examiners who will present case scenarios, pose questions, and provide individualized verbal and written feedback to each participant (along with a recording of the session).
