Description

To be used for the Goodman Oral Board Preparation course, November 9-11, 2008 AANS 

Course Description


This is a highly interactive course that simulates the examination given by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS). The course has two purposes. First, you will be exposed to the format of the oral boards and you will have the opportunity to practice answering questions under pressure. Second, there will be over 100 case scenarios presented, which will provide a broad review of pertinent topics in clinical neurosurgery. There are no lectures. The sessions are intense, comprehensive and enjoyable. Experienced neurosurgeons will critique your patient management response and your ability to organize responses to simulated oral board questions.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

  • Review contemporary neurosurgery by studying more than 100 cases including trauma, cerebrovascular disease, tumors, pain, pediatrics, skull base, spine, and peripheral nerves;
  • Describe the format of the board examination;
  • Compare your approach to complex neurosurgical problems with those of your contemporaries;
  • Review specific neurological disorders that might be referred to a neurosurgeon;
  • Practice how to respond to clinical questions in a concise and orderly fashion; and
  • Identify those areas of neurosurgery where further study would be beneficial in preparation for the oral board examination.
