Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Examination Development Miniseries Episode 2: Questing Writing Task Force
Q: What makes a good exam question?
A good question is one that is fair and reflects the gold standard for orthopedic surgeons rather than personal opinions.
Examination Development Miniseries Episode 2: Questing Writing Task Force
Q: How does the question writing process work?
It involves initial assignments of subspecialties, where orthopaedic surgeons create exam questions that are then edited, reviewed by a group, and statistically analyzed for fairness.
2025 ABOS WLA Webinar
Q: So now, if I start now, because I think my certificate expires in 2034, I essentially have eight chances to get five quality years. Is that the way it is working now?
Yes, it is. You have five chances over eight years, so if you miss a year, you can continue without starting over.
2025 ABOS WLA Webinar
Q: If we are enrolled in the WLA Pathway, but midway, if we feel that I'll be better off taking the examination again, can I switch or is the WLA Pathway binding?
You can switch.
2026 ABOS Part I Webinar
Q: Is the average required weeks to sit for the exam 46 or 48?
The requirement is an average of 46 weeks over five years.
