Video Summary

In this video, a group of surgeons discuss their tips and advice for preparing for and passing the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS) exam. They highlight the importance of practicing as if you are in board collections from the beginning of your career, being mindful of documentation, indications, and how you respond to complications. They emphasize the need to load the boat by including thorough documentation and supporting evidence in your notes, as well as maintaining good relationships with office staff who can assist with case collection and data gathering. They also discuss the impact of COVID-19 on case logging and the need to be aware of any changes or requirements for retroactive logging. The speakers encourage ongoing learning from mentors, sticking with what has worked during training, and practicing self-care during the stressful exam preparation process. They conclude by offering their email addresses for further questions or feedback.
