Re: The Oral BoardsFrom: dahmd@gate.netSat Aug 24 10:24:47 1996
Geff- I'll be taking the orals this November. The following helped organize the list, so that I did not have to scramble at the last minute to "tune up" the caselist (like a colleague of mine did a few years back): 1. I obtained the Caselist software from ACOG ($25) and entered the cases every month. This was extremely helpful. 2. Keep hard copies. I developed a form for the Gyn, OB, and Office lists to record names, initials, medical record numbers, diagnoses, procedures, path reports, etc. If you lose your hard drive, you always have a hard copy. Call me at 407-893-8049 and I will mail you the masters of these to copy. 3. Keep a list in your office of interesting office cases (you will need 40, but no more than 4 of each type of problem). This will prevent you from needing to pull charts at the last minute. 4. Don't practice medicine for the boards. In other words, use your training and common sense, and you'll do fine. I once saw a colleague refuse to do a c/section because he "had too many on the caselist"! 5. Finally, I would try to stay away from abbreviations on the caselist. I would also, for example, put "symptomatic uterine fibroids" as a diagnosis and not "big, bleeding uterus"! (An actual example)! Good luck. Call me if you have any questions. Ashley dahmd@gate.net

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
