SGO Taskforce for Board Certification Support: Highlighting ICU and Perioperative Consideration Resources for the ABOG Oral Board Exam (Part 3)

Listen to Tracilyn Hall, MD, co-chair of the SGO Taskforce for Board Certification Support, interview Gillian Hsieh, MD and Lavanya H. Palavalli Parsons, MD discussing the best resources for ICU and Perioperative Considerations when preparing for the ABOG oral board exam. This podcast episode addresses important resources and questions regarding reviewing your anatomy textbooks and case list to see what co-morbidities your patients have, visiting the SGO ConnectEd for perioperative care topics, knowing what technology and protocol you have at your institution as well as published data, studying bowel injuries, and having tumor board discussions to guide interventions, and more. The taskforce will offer six informative podcasts focused on high yield topics and best preparation practices.

During the SGO 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer in San Diego, CA,  representatives from The American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG) will join the SGO Taskforce for Board Certification Support to discuss logistics of the certifying exam as well as the assessment and scoring process and there will be a presentation covering radiation oncology. Keep an eye for this session opportunity when registering for the upcoming SGO 2024 Annual Meeting and be sure to sign up if interested in participating. We will also have three roundtable discussions where participants will meet in small groups with a taskforce facilitator to discuss hypothetical cases.
