2013 E-Review Course Online Now on its fifth year, the Executive Board has continued this project

which is aimed to help PCP eligible graduates review the topics that would be given by the Specialty Board in the Diplomate Certifying Examinations. The review was offered from July December 2013.

The review program, through the valuable support of faculty from the different training institutions, has provided board eligible members a better chance of passing the certifying board exam. The continuation of this project and an increase in the number of examinees taking and actually passing the examination is a testament to its success.
