First Mockboard

Last week for our first mockboard it was interesting to see the process of how the actual national boards are. I am glad that we are able to go through the process, I could see how this would be overwhelming if we didn't have the experience of the three mockboard exams. I have to admit it was stressful to me that day because we were learning new paperwork and just learning the process of checking in your patient. From experiencing this for the first time it made me realize that I need to make sure that my patient that I have for boards qualifies. I will definitely make sure that I have my patient come into clinic to be screened to make sure that they do qualify for boards because the patient that I had for mockboards didn't meet the requirements necessary to be a candidate even with submitting an alternative quadrant. I feel that we are fortunate to have the experience of the mockboards. I feel that it will ease the stress a little to know the process, but I know that I will definitely be stressed still for boards!!
