ABEM Virtual Oral Exam Starting in December 2020

Oct 14, 2020

ABEM will be offering a virtual Oral Exam in December 2020 to approximately 150-200 candidates, with larger administrations held throughout 2021. Candidates who were scheduled for the 2020 exams will be the first slated for the 2020-2021 administrations.

Features of the virtual Oral Exam:

  • There will be no triple cases.
  • There will be six, 15-minute single cases, and one new case type called the structured interview, also 15 minutes.
  • The eOral platform will not be used. Not using the eOral platform will allow us to launch the virtual exam more quickly.
  • Stimuli will be static images.
  • Total testing time will be less than three hours.
  • Content covered will be consistent with previous Oral Exams.

ABEM will hold informational webinars in November to provide more detail about the virtual Oral Exam.
