5 Tips That Will Make Your OBGYN Case List Unique & Defendable

This exam is the only thing between you and your OBGYN Certification. 50% of your exam is based

on your case list. You created it and you are compelled to defend it. You should know it "cold"

before you walk into the exam room. While a good case list will not necessarily guarantee

success, a bad one will go a long way 190-805
towards a failing result! Here are the 5 most common errors that candidates make when

constructing their case list:
Error #1 - Creating the Case List at the last minute
Solution #1 - Construct that case while it's still fresh in your mind, within two weeks of

current patient management
Error #2 - Writing too much on the case list.
Solution #2 - Write down only the main 190-

950

points so the examiner has something to ask you.
Error #3 - The weight of the uterus and size of all the adnexal masses are not included.
Solution #3 - Make sure the weight of all hysterectomy specimens and the size of all adnexal

masses are provided.
Error #4 -Writing out the entire path report.
Solution #4 - For GYN cases, extensively abbreviate the histology report.
Error #5 - Always double check your information and be consistent.
Solution #5 - Make sure the length of stay on the OB and GYN cases is correct and consistent

throughout your case list (typically 190-957
consider it as the number of nights spent in hospital).
ExamPro offers seminars that break these common sense techniques down into easy-to-understand,

exam focused information. We try to get you to think like the examiner so you are prepared and

relaxed for the oral exam.
