Candidates Sought

Published Online:5 Mar 2004https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.39.5.0061c

APA is seeking candidates for a pilot program that will provide diagnostic evaluation of performance on an oral examination similar to Part 2 of the psychiatry boards. Only candidates who have failed the oral board (Part 2 of the ABPN exam) more than two times will be accepted.

For the fee of $500, participants will be evaluated on performance on a live patient interview and clinical vignettes by current and past board examiners. Participants will then be given detailed feedback on factors that interfered with their performance. Remediation is the responsibility of the participants.

The program will be held at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn on May 22. Only 24 people can be accommodated. Participants will be chosen by lottery from the applications received by the April 1 deadline.

Those interested in applying for the program are asked to contact Nancy Delanoche by e-mail at or by phone at (703) 907-8635.
