Please note again this year AAPD in collaboration with the College of Diplomates will be offering Mock Oral Review Interviews. This allows attendees to participate in a simulation of the oral interview with two examiners. You will be given 15 minutes to present your answer and then 15 minutes for feedback. While registering for the Mock Oral Exams and the New Comprehensive Review, you will have the opportunity to include this for an additional $100. For those that are attending both Oral Review and Comprehensive Review, you will have the ability to sign up for these Mock Oral Review Interviews in the Comprehensive Review registration. These interviews will take place during the lunch hour on Friday, September 8, 2023,  and Saturday, September 9, 2023.
