The Goodman Oral Board Course

This chapter describes the purpose and format of the Goodman Oral Board certification course. The course is highly interactive and attempts to simulate the examination given by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS). The course features plenary sessions wherein an examiner interviews a participant in the “hot seat” while the larger group observes. The examiners are experts in their respective fields and try to emulate the examination process and provide feedback to the examinee at the end of each case. Concurrently, 30-minute breakout sessions allow one-on-one interaction between the participant and the examiner. The chapter outlines the learning objectives of the course and discusses how success in the course is measured.
