Do some boards require written and oral exams?
Some boards only require a written exam and some require a written and an oral exam. We will not have the information until the physician has completed and passed both portions of the exam and received either a certificate or a congratulatory letter. A list of these are shown in the Requirements for General Certification & Requirements for Time-Limited Certification mentioned above accessed on the links page. Written exams are generally given in the fall or winter and orals in the spring or summer.
