Course Overview

The conference materials will be sent regular USPS mail on May 27, 2021. Please ensure that your address on file is correct.

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.

  4. Review the diagnostic criteria for chronic migraine and the available treatments
  5. Review the diagnostic criteria for relapsing remitting and primary progressive multiple sclerosis and the available treatments

Registration
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 60 hours of pre-recorded video lectures are included in the course registration fee and are available online from 3/8/21 until 12/31/21 to all of our pre-registered and paid attendees. In addition to 45 hours of didactic lectures, there are an additional 15 hours of pre-recorded case-based discussions 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 allow our attendees to review and study the videos at their own pace. The pre-recorded lectures are not approved for CME credit. The full list of pre-recorded lectures is listed on the agenda.
 
LIVE VIRTUAL MOCK EXAM | June 7-8, 2021
This course is designed based on adult learning principles to emphasize active learning and self assessment. Over 6/7 and 6/8, our course will simulate the ABPN examination with attendees taking a 400 question mock examination over the course of 420 minutes. The percentage of questions on a particular topic is identical to the ABPN initial certification examination content blueprint. Attendees will complete two 100-question blocks on 6/7 and another two 100-question blocks on 6/8. After each 100 question block, there will be a 75 minute discussion of those 100 questions based on which questions attendees would like reviewed. This allows for immediate reinforcement of key concepts and test-taking strategies that will optimally prepare you for the ABPN examination. You must register for the Online Course in order to register for and attend the Live Mock Exam.
 
There is an option to purchase 900 additional questions for self-study and to receive questions via email, or to your mobile device, three times per week from 3/8/21 until 12/31/21 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 this option below:
 
• Additional Self-Study Option (1,000 additional questions):
900 additional questions (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 12/31/21.
