Curriculum

Three modules, mirroring the exam

Each module is built in the same order and structure as the ABOMS Oral Certifying Examination.

Module 1

Orthognathic Surgery, Infection, Pathology, and TMJ

Refine your diagnostic and management approach for complex facial deformities, deep-space infections, and pathological lesions. Learn to structure responses that demonstrate sound surgical judgment, risk assessment, and postoperative planning.

Key focus areas
  • Orthognathic surgery sequencing and fixation principles
  • Odontogenic and deep fascial space infections
  • Pathology differentiation and surgical margins
  • TMJ disorders, surgical approaches, and prosthetic reconstruction
Module 2

Trauma, Reconstruction, Dentoalveolar, and Implants

Develop mastery across high-yield trauma scenarios and reconstructive planning. Simulated cases prepare you for both acute management and long-term outcomes.

Key focus areas
  • Midface, mandible, and panfacial fracture patterns
  • Hard/soft tissue reconstruction and flap design
  • Dentoalveolar complications and third molar management
  • Implant site development, complications, and prosthetic planning
Module 3

Comprehensive Clinical and Ethical Domains

Integrate medical decision-making, anesthesia safety, and interdisciplinary care under pressure. This advanced module focuses on medical readiness, emergency response, and ethical considerations.

Key focus areas
  • Adult and pediatric medical assessment & anesthesia
  • Emergency management and crisis simulation (including FAST)
  • Cleft and craniofacial management
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and airway protocols
  • Cosmetic surgery principles and patient selection

Course Features

AI Voice Trainer & Case Simulation

Practice out loud, on your schedule. The AI voice trainer simulates the OCE with case-based scenarios and AI-simulated cases (the surgical gauntlet), so you build fluency and composure long before exam day.

  • AI voice trainer helps you rehearse every commonly-tested case type out loud, on demand
  • AI-simulated case scenarios with the surgical gauntlet
  • Standardized approach, key complications, and high-yield references for every case

Exam Overview & Strategy

Gain a detailed understanding of the oral board structure, timing, and expectations:

  • Case sequencing and timing structure
  • Examiner interaction and communication style
  • Strategies for differential diagnosis and surgical rationale
  • Mock oral case walkthroughs with real-time critique

This section helps demystify the oral exam format — turning uncertainty into familiarity and composure.

Personalized Zoom Sessions

Each participant receives three one-on-one Zoom sessions with a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. These sessions include:

  • Targeted case-based questioning
  • Real-time assessment and correction
  • Focused guidance on weaker areas identified from prior modules

Every call is tailored to your specific needs and clinical background.
