online review:
maybe 1) Harvard-$1,000 for 2 days.
You get 1 interview for the money. No vignettes.
No decency to give you a repeat course if you fail.

maybe 2) Beat the Boards
1 interview and 1 set of vignettes. For $2,390!
Worse than Harvard-they don't even have any difficult patients. They bring some actor-type [not true, real patients] patients. It will be your luck if you have an easy patient like that during your exam.
The only good thing about them is that they give you a free course if you fail.

x 3) "Ultimate" by Dr. Spiegel. Two and a half days for $ 2,100, which includes 1 interview and 2 sets of vignettes.
Outrageous!
In Dr. Spiegel's group, out of 5 candidates only 1 passed!
What is going on there?
No decency to give you a repeat course if you fail.

x 4) Osler Institute.
Live patients are for additional fee. Othewise, you will get 4 vignettes for $1,000, and will observe your peers for the rest of the time.

/lucky! -
The Psychiatry Part II (oral) examination will be eliminated. The Psychiatry certification process will
consist of a single computerized examination (Psychiatry Certification Examination); first administration
in 2011.
