SGO Taskforce for Board Certification Support Case List Creation: Preparing for ABOG Oral Board Certification (Part 1)

Join Dr. Hall, Co-Chair of the SGO Taskforce for Board Certification Support, as she interviews Drs. Mallen and Zeligs, who recently took the ABOG board exam, addressing several different approaches to case list preparation. As part of the taskforce, we have recognized several SGO members who had taken the ABOG board exam have different approaches to their case list preparation, and we wanted to make sure we provide effective resources for all of those candidates coming up this year on what we were able to be successful with our case list. Some questions covered during the interview:

1. What is the timeline for case list creation and submission?
2. How many cases do I need?
3. What cases do I need to include on my list?
4. What about the ABOG approved abbreviations?
5. When should I have the required affidavits signed?

The taskforce will also offer other informative podcasts focused on high yield topics and best preparation practices.

ABOG and SGO Collaboration
During the SGO 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer in San Diego, CA,  representatives from The American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG) will join the SGO Taskforce for Board Certification Support to discuss logistics of the certifying exam as well as the assessment and scoring process and there will be a presentation covering radiation oncology. Keep an eye for this session opportunity when registering for the upcoming SGO 2024 Annual Meeting and be sure to sign up if interested in participating. We will also have three roundtable discussions where participants will meet in small groups with a taskforce facilitator to discuss hypothetical cases.

Special thanks to Drs. Mallen and Zeligs for your contribution to this episode.
