We are a growing community of Board-certified surgeons who are dedicated to seeing our colleagues pass their Oral Boards. We wholeheartedly believe that “you play like you practice” and getting your reps in with high-quality, virtual mock orals is paramount to passing the exam.

Institutional Partnerships

Residency programs invest way too much time and resources to set up their own mock orals and/or regional mock orals. Let us help!

Each Institutional Partnership is customized to supplement a program’s existing efforts. Based on leadership input, we arrange 1:1 and/or group mock orals with highly-vetted examiners and updated content, so residents get the best and most realistic experience possible.

Both admin and residents alike will benefit from flexible scheduling, session recordings, and performance metrics.
