Here's How It Works:

Set Your Own Pace: 

• You will have access to 20 pre-recorded sessions tailored to the CBNC exam blueprint.
• Watch the presentations and take four practice tests at your own pace.
• Practice-exam questions are answered by Board Prep faculty in the live virtual sessions. 

Cases with the Experts: 

• SPECT and PET cases highlight key points needed for the Boards and daily practice. Attendees' case questions are answered during the live virtual sessions. 

Teaching with the Tests: 

• During the recorded virtual-live sessions (September 17 & 18), experts walk through each exam question, explain the correct and incorrect answers, and answer participant questions.

Going to Town with Your Questions: 

• During the special Board Prep Q&A Town Hall, attendees take the virtual stage, posing questions to the assembled faculty. During "Ask anything," Dr. Bourque and Dr. Ananthasubramaniam respond. The faculty address submitted questions and any additional attendee questions.
