Peer Review Network (PRN)

ABC embraces and encourages networking with your colleagues. No one knows better what you're going through than your peers. You have an opportunity to join a Peer Review Network. PRN is a voluntary list of other candidates sitting for your boards. You can network with all or just some in your PRN group, during and even beyond the course. The ABOG Oral Board PRN allows you to commiserate with others and review/exchange your case lists and give each other mock orals -- and they won't charge you one penny! The Written Board PRN group can form study groups and review/exchange written test questions. The AOBOG Clinical Board PRN group can form study groups to review and give mock orals on the core topics. ABC is with you every step. You can do it -- we can help.

"Dr. Das kept talking about this paradigm shift in reviewing our case lists. She convincingly transitioned us to look at it from the examiner's perspective, rather than our own. What I didn't expect though, was my own paradigm shift in how I view my colleagues. All through out college, medical school, and residency we've been in competition against each other. Dr. Das kept encouraging us to take advantage of the colleagues at the course. The evening session, Defending Your Case List, the Verizon Way, broke the ice and I realized we're all in the same boat. Four of us, total strangers, with the only thing in common was we all had November oral exams in two weeks, ended up burning the midnight oil after the lectures, grilling each other on our case lists. We had covered any/all angles possible. When I took my exam, there were no surprises. Thanks, guys. I couldn't have done it without you."

"First of all, thank you...this was my third time taking the written boards and finally I passed!!! There are a lot of Ob/Gyn review courses out there, but ABC was definitely unique and worth the flight (coming from California) and money.

(1) I met a study partner at your course who was in the same position as me (had failed twice before also) -- we went over Prologs and course lectures at least 3-4 times a week on Skype (internet video call) leading up to the exam -- SHE ALSO PASSED on her third trial this year -- I think this was one of the main benefits of your course, meeting those who are in my same position and helping each other out. This is KEY -- and I think this should be stressed for all your "retakers" that each person should leave the course with contact information of someone else who has also failed in the past
(2) Great review and lecturers! Definitely made the long days easier
(3) All inclusive breakfast/lunch/snacks were definitely key to keep up the momentum
(4) Evening course with the Jollys gave a great NEW perspective on multiple choice test taking
(5) Delightful hotel accomodations at a very reasonable price

Thank you again for all the support and opportunities to FINALLY succeed. I WILL be back for my oral boards!" NS August 2010
