New Virtual Format
ASNC will hold the 2020 Board Exam Prep Course as a virtual live meeting. Instead of the traditional two-day course held adjacent to the annual meeting, Board Prep 2020 registrants will have up to 5 weeks, starting Sept 11, 2020, to review recorded lectures and take the self-paced mock exams associated with the lecture material, based on the CBNC blueprint.
The course will leverage a new virtual format to provide an educational experience that addresses areas that attendees' need most.
Here's how it works:
- Set Your Own Pace:
- Starting September 11, 2020, we will provide registrants with 19 pre-recorded sessions tailored to the CBNC exam blueprint.
- You will be invited to take post questions, all of which will be answered by Board Prep faculty during live virtual sessions held Oct. 17-18. The tests -- and attendees' feedback -- will allow faculty to customize the live, virtual meeting precisely to attendees' needs.
- Watch the presentations and take four mock tests at your own pace.
- "Cases with the Experts":
- Provided in pre-recorded sessions, SPECT and PET cases will highlight key points needed for the Boards and daily practice. Attendees' questions on the cases will be answered during the live virtual sessions.
