MFM 2024 Oral Exam Candidates
Now it’s time to focus on finishing that case list and formulating a study plan. It would be best if you were almost done collecting cases for your list and working on filling in the details. You are allowed to add new patients for two more months, so having as much of your list done as possible at this point will allow you to focus on collecting only those patients that you need to round out the requirements for each category. If you missed our November course, our MFM Review Course Recordings are now available. Over 20 hours of recordings contain MFM topics such as critical care, maternal medical complications, genetics, and ultrasound utilizing a structured case format similar to your oral board exam but facilitated by the faculty.
Tip:
Your goal should be to have a rough draft of the list done by early to mid-December so you can circulate your list to your mentors and peers for editing before it’s too late to find a new patient in case one of yours turns out to be a poor choice.

If you have a helpful administrative liaison in the finance department, they can run a report with patient names and the ICD 10 bb codes to give you a great organized start to compiling your list. Additionally, you can use that list of diagnoses to identify cases for your office categories very quickly. Starting Sunday, February 4th, 2024, our FPMRS Oral Exam Webinar kicks off with our seasoned FPMRS faculty taking you through well-prepared high-yield structured cases. We guarantee to get through the key topics in the format of a structured case before the test dates.
FPMRS Tip:
The case list isn’t due until February, but this is also a good time to ensure you are entering the data and checking to ensure you have patients that represent all the different categories you need to fill for the case list. If you find that you are missing some patient experience types, now is the time to find ways to get more clinical exposure so you can be sure to get those last rare conditions covered. Continue working on your case list entry and try to avoid procrastination.
