I also took the Zuspan course in 1999. The best thing about this an any other course is being away from home and work to be able to concentrate on the upcoming exam. The reality is that if you are trying to pick up new information now you are way behind the eight ball. There is also a book out by Anita Krishna Das-"The Oral OB/GYN Board Exam"-that has an incredible amount of useful information such as preparing your case list, etc. Also have your mentors review your case list. There is absolutely no doubt that the case list is the most important component of the exam. In the ABOG bulletin they state there is no minimum of cases . In fact, while Dr. Cefalo was giving his pep talk prior to the exam I glanced over at the case list of the guy sitting next to me. He had 6 hyst on his list and obviously they found this acceptable or he would not have been sitting there. >I took the 11-day Zuspan marathon course in Columbus in 1998 and found >it extremely useful.

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.
