RESIDENTS | Board certification an important key to future success
Sponsored by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
Failure to board certify can impact a surgeon's employment status, insurance coverage and the confidence level of their peers and patients, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. This course will help help you prepare for that all-important moment when you take the The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc.® (ABPS) exams.
Whether you are a Resident taking the exams for the first time, or a veteran surgeon studying for the MOC-PS™, this course can help.
- Customized Learning: Dual concurrent tracks allow you to focus on what's appropriate for you.
- Practice Under Pressure: Develop a feel for answering questions under pressure while faculty provide immediate feedback.
- Intimate Setting: One-on-one discussions with faculty will offer guidance on preparation of your oral board case books.
- Comprehensive Course: More than 100 plastic surgery cases will be used to provide a thorough overview. Case scenarios will be presented providing a broad review of pertinent topics in clinical plastic surgery.
- Wide Scope: Topic modules will include the areas of breast/aesthetic; hand/complex wounds/
burns/scars; craniofacial/head and neck; CPT coding; avoidance and management of complications; and general principles in patient safety.
