In 2011, the ABPN released a new format called Psychiatry Certification Examination for certifying psychiatrist. It consists of about 9.5 hours of gruelling three-session exam. Although it doesn't involve actual interview, it offers its own challenges, especially the Clinical Psychiatry section.
To help exam candidates deal with the hurdle, I've recently published the book
Psychiatry Certification Examination Review for the Clinical Psychiatry Component.
With so many vignettes and hundreds of thought-provoking questions, I believe that this book can lessen the stress and improve the preparation for ABPN's new certification format. You may visit our
Psychiatry Review Series for details.
