Unlike traditional lecture-based review courses, PlastiBoards is built around active participation. Our small-group format emphasizes realistic mock oral examinations, individualized coaching, and repeated practice over a three-month period to help candidates build confidence and improve performance.

Enrollment is intentionally limited to ensure every participant receives meaningful speaking time, individualized feedback, and direct coaching throughout the program.

The PlastiBoards coaching program is conducted over approximately three months and includes multiple live online sessions designed to provide progressive practice and feedback.

All sessions are held live via Zoom. Candidates participate in board-style mock oral examinations, case discussions, and personalized coaching in an interactive small-group setting.

Because PlastiBoards is intentionally limited to a small group of participants, session times are selected based on the availability of the cohort. Most sessions are held on weekday evenings or weekends, allowing candidates to participate while maintaining their clinical responsibilities.

Confidence is built through repetition, feedback, and deliberate practice—not a single weekend of lectures. Our longitudinal format allows candidates to practice, improve, and return with new skills throughout the course, creating lasting confidence before exam day.

Item We stand behind our coaching program. Candidates who complete all program requirements and do not pass the ABPS Oral Examination may be eligible to repeat a future PlastiBoards cohort at no additional tuition, subject to eligibility requirements and space availability.description
