2020 AANS Goodman Oral Board Preparation
October 27-29, 2020
The 2020 AANS Goodman Oral Board Preparation virtual course is highly interactive and simulates the examination given by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS).
Started in 1997 by Julius Goodman, MD, this course is the premier neurosurgical oral board review, with over 90% of candidates attending at least once prior to taking the exam. The must-attend 2020 AANS Goodman Oral Board Preparation course reflects the changes in the ABNS Oral Examination. Practicing neurosurgeons who register for the full course have the opportunity to attend at least four breakout sessions specific to their subspecialty to prepare for the focused-practice portion of the exam.
The AANS is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The AANS designates this virtual activity for a maximum of 25.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate to their participation in the activity.
