Dear Colleagues,

Obtaining the ABPN Diplomate status is tough. In fact, the passing rate in the boards is about the same as the failure rate.

Why?

It’s not because of your lack of knowledge or your incompetence or your lack of skills.

The fact is you’ve finished psychiatry training for four years and have read hundreds of relevant pages on psychiatry.

The fact is you’ve successfully treated hundreds of patients during the course of training and clinical practice.

The fact is you’ve been supervised by dedicated and hard working academicians and skillful clinicians for years.

The fact is you’ve dealth with a variety of complex clinical scenarios when on-call.

The fact is you’ve assessed and treated urgent and emergent patients almost on a daily basis.

So why prepare for the boards? For others, why fail the oral exam?

If you’ve already failed, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter how good you are before and after the exam. If you don’t ‘show’ your abilities during the exam, the examiners will fail you.

Yes, it’s a show. Yet, it may be the best or worst show of your life. You have a choice.

The key is how to effectively show your abilities and skills before the examiners.
