Course Overview

“Please note that Penn Medicine is following the CDC guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) through social distancing. In the event Neurology Board Review 2020 cannot move forward as a live-attended conference, all pre-registered attendees will be moved to Live Stream. Please be sure you will be able to join the conference through live stream and review our cancellation policy before you register.”

The list of course topics and subtopics was adapted from the ABPN’s description of the board and recertification examinations. The time allotted for each topic is based upon the approximate distribution of the subject matter as given by the ABPN. Our course will provide an excellent review of board exam and recertification topics primarily through case-based learning and help the learner identify areas that require further study. The learner can then review and prepare further in these areas prior to taking the examination.

Case-based Live Presentations: On 6/1 and 6/2, there will be 24 different talks chosen from the ABPN’s description of the board and recertification examinations. The time allotted for each topic is based upon the approximate distribution of the subject matter as given by the ABPN. The majority of these talks are case-based with multiple choice questions with 5 answer choices just like the ABPN examination. Attendees will be able to use these case-based sessions to assess their knowledge and then listen to a discussion about the reasoning behind the correct and incorrect answers. This will be 16.5 hours of high yield education. All of our pre-registered and paid attendees receive all 24 powerpoint presentations.

Pre-recorded Presentations: We understand that preparing for the boards means spending many hours studying and reviewing. In an effort to provide our attendees with the comprehensive review needed to study for the boards within their own busy schedule, about 40 hours of pre-recorded video lectures are included in the course registration fee and will only be available online from 3/9/20 until 12/31/20 to all of our pre-registered and paid attendees. The pre-recorded lectures are different lectures from the live board review course. This will allow our attendees to review and study the videos at their own pace. Please note that the videos are available only to those pre-registered, paid, and are attending in-person or by Live Stream. The pre-recorded lectures are not approved for CME credit. The full list of pre-recorded lectures is listed on the agenda.

Optional Written Mock Examination with Discussion

The 2020 Mock Exam will consist of 300 new questions written especially for this course. On Wednesday, June 3, the mock examination will be administered to participants who register additionally for this part of the course. In addition, the answers will be given and a discussion will follow.

The registration fee for the optional mock examination is $500 and only available to those who register and pay for the full course. This fee includes additional course materials, continental breakfast and mid-morning break. If interested, select this option on the registration form.

Problem-based Learning: The Problem-based Learning modules are designed to optimally prepare you for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Examination by assessing your ability to apply your fund of knowledge to board-style questions and identify concepts for further study. There is a live mock-examination on Wednesday, June 3rd with discussion of challenging questions. There is an option to purchase 2 additional mock examinations for self-study. Lastly, there is an option to receive questions via email, or to your mobile device, three times per week from 3/9/20 until 12/31/20 to more continuously prepare you for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Examination. Utilization of this technology has been shown to increase scores on National Board of Medicine examinations. For an additional fee, all preregistered, paid attendees can choose one of the three options below for additional studying:

Option 1 (300 questions): 2020 Mock Exam – register and attend the optional live mock exam session (please see Mock Exam under Registration Fees for additional information). For live-stream participants, they can purchase this examination for self-assessment but the discussion of challenging questions on Wednesday 6/3/20 WILL NOT BE LIVE-STREAMED.
Option 2 (1,400 questions): 2020 Mock Exam, three additional different mock exams (including answers and explanations for self-study) and receive four (4) Board-style questions that will be sent to your email or mobile device every other day from the date you register until 12/31/20.
