title: Faculty and resident response to an innovative mock board.
abstract: The authors describe a format for mock oral boards that attempts to decrease resident anxiety concerning both the mock exam itself and the actual boards. The exam format was enthusiastically received by faculty and residents. Both faculty and residents felt that the format provided sound clinical education and simultaneously eased anxiety about the oral boards. Implications for residency training are discussed.
