How does the OSU psychiatry program prepare residents for board examinations?
We are highly committed to preparing all of our residents to be successful in all professional endeavors, especially both components of the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology (ABPN) examinations. Our educational curriculum is not only rigorous but also a priority and includes yearly emphasis on core texts and scholarly works, neurology review, PRITE examinations, psychotherapy courses, and evidence-based medicine. In addition, the program conducts semi-annual clinical skills assessments using the format of oral boards and faculty with experience administering or successfully completing the ABPN examinations. The program also assesses the interviewing skills of the residents in accordance with ABPN and RRC guidelines.
