2013 Pediatric Board Review Live Course
August 12 – 16, 2013
Washington Marriott Hotel
1221 22nd Street, NW
Washington DC 20037
The 23rd Annual Pediatric Board Review Course is designed and recommended for physicians preparing for either certification or the re-certification examination of the American Board of Pediatrics in General Pediatrics. Practicing pediatricians, family physicians, or pediatric sub-specialists not considering either examination can also benefit from this intensive refresher course in pediatrics. For previous test takers who have had difficulty preparing for and taking the Board exams in general, this course offers practice in visual diagnosis and practice examinations, in addition to the extensive review of the theory and practice of pediatrics.
At the conclusion of this course the participants should be able to:
- Define and resolve gaps in current knowledge based on information presented
- Integrate the information provided in the extensive syllabus with current resources
- Recognize or become familiar with the format and style of Board examination questions
- Apply the test-taking experience gained through daily practice in visual diagnosis and simulated examinations
