Candidates are highly encouraged to check out the ABO website for a comprehensive set of resources dedicated to preparing for the Oral Examination. This page includes:

  • Candidate Performance Criteria: Understand how exam performance is assessed in three specific areas: data acquisition, diagnosis, and management. The ABO highly encourages candidates to treat this resource as a useful checklist for the formation of a clear, systematic, and comprehensive approach to each case.
  • Sample Cases: Review the five clinical cases representative of the examination. This will give you a chance to practice your approach to each case and give you an idea of what the cases will look like on exam day.
  • Case Discussion & Analysis Videos: Watch candidates navigate the sample cases with an examiner and then review the examiner’s discussion of the correct answer. This will show you the correct way to approach these sample cases in this virtual exam format.
