Subspecialists Preparing For the General OBGYN Oral Board Exam

If you are a sub-specialist (regardless of the specific sub-specialty), you are probably concerned about getting sufficient numbers of cases on your case list in your 'off-specialties'. You might also be concerned that your case list does not have a diverse spread of pathology.

What should you do?

Firstly, don't panic.

You are not alone - all subspecialists have the same problem. Keep in mind many of your examiners are subspecialists who probably had the same concern and can relate to your problem. This is a well-known and accepted issue.

There is a certain expectation that your case list will be one-sided if you are a subspecialist. Nevertheless, keep in mind that you should always try to spread out the pathology as much as possible.

You are obliged to collect the minimum number of cases, which totals twenty. If necessary, you should feel free to utilize residency cases as appropriate.

Some fellows will take extra call covering L+D and possibly even do a locum tenens to increase their OB numbers.
