Testimonials from Past Course Participants
With the new Structured Interview cases, it was so helpful to have two of these new cases to practice and review the format.
This course has definitely made me more comfortable with preparing for the oral board exam. I am now more confident; I have a strategy that will hopefully bring success and less anxiety on the test date.
Incredibly helpful setting the scene and tempo of exam day. So nice to be able to go through the logistics and process of the virtual testing.
