Get expert tips & updates to help you prepare for your written & CPM exams.
Preparing for the New O&P Combined Exams
Join us for a live panel discussion and get the latest exam updates from industry experts — and learn from clinicians and residency directors how to prepare for your written and CPM exams.
Session Description
The session opens with an update from ABC and NCOPE representatives on what’s changed with the board exams and what it means for you — including NCOPE’s move to dual-discipline residency requirements and how to build exam readiness into the residency you’re in right now. A panel of residency and clinical experts, joined by a recent graduate, will then connect your day-to-day work to the hands-on skills you’ll need to demonstrate in front of examiners and patient models.
