The exam

What ABOS Part II is like

ABOS Part II is an oral examination taken after a period of independent practice, built around cases from your own practice. Examiners probe indications, alternatives, technique, complications and outcomes.

DOME’s cases are examiner-led practice cases built on that pattern. Check the ABOS’s current Part II materials for the format you will sit.

  • Indications, alternatives and technique
  • Complications: recognition, management and disclosure
  • Not affiliated with the ABOS
How to prepare

Practice the way you’ll be examined.

01

Say it out loud

The examiner credits what you actually say — why operate, and why this operation.

02

Defend the alternatives

Say what non-operative care and other operations you considered, and why you rejected them.

03

Own the complication

Recognize it, manage it, and say how you would disclose it.

04

Read the debrief every time

Every case ends with a debrief of what you covered and what you missed.
