Abstract
This chapter describes the process of preparing for the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS) Oral Board Examination. This lengthy process is required to attain ABNS confirmation as a boardcertified neurosurgeon. This includes the necessary timing for application, accrual of necessary cases, online portal, application for oral examination and certification following case submission, and the ABNS assessment of candidates’ eligibility for oral examination. Each candidate must now submit their prospective cases to the Practice and Outcomes Surgical Therapies (POST) online portal. This chapter reviews the steps in this process to help candidates successfully deliver their cases. Additionally, the chapter reviews study techniques and mentorship guidance.
