Telepsychiatry Services and Oral Board Examination Preparation
Abstract
To the Editor: Candidates preparing for part two of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) Certification in Psychiatry use mock examinations in training programs (1) as well as independent mock examinations (2) to achieve a passing grade. The subspecialty certification in child and adolescent psychiatry also requires an oral examination, and candidates for the ABPN Certification in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry seek out mock examinations for practice. Recently, a novel approach to examination preparation was undertaken with telepsychiatry services. Optimal preparation for child and adolescent psychiatry board certification includes mock oral examinations with an experienced, board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist. In a child and adolescent psychiatric residency program based at a university medical center, oral mock examinations are given to residents with departmental faculty typically serving as examiners. For young clinicians in practice after graduation from residency, arranging for a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist to serve as an examiner in a mock examination is more difficult. Barriers may include availability, travel requirements, and coordination of the child and adolescent psychiatrist to meet at a mock interview setting with the examinee and patient.
