Resident attitudes and benefits of mock oral board examinations in radiation oncology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Presently, educational programming is not standardized across radiation oncology (RO) training programs. Specifically, there are limited materials through national organizations or structured practice exams for residents preparing for the American Board of Radiology (ABR) oral board examination.

Methods

A mixed-methods survey regarding MOBE perception and self-reported comfort across five clinical domains were administered to PGY2-5 residents. MOBEs and a post-intervention survey were implemented for the PGY3-5. The pre and post-intervention score across clinical domains were compared using t-tests. Faculty a
