Train with Confidence.
Realistic, AI-powered cases built by medical experts — aligned with ABS exam standards.
How the Mock Oral Board Simulator
Each simulated encounter mirrors the structure of American Board of Surgery (ABS) oral examinations — starting with focused patient presentations, differential development, and diagnostic decision-making.
Your responses shape the direction of the case. Examiners probe for clinical judgment, prioritization, and ability to manage complications — reinforcing safe and effective surgical practice.
Clinical Assessment
Focused patient scenarios to build differential diagnosis skills.
Interactive Simulation
Explain your decisions while examiners probe clinical reasoning in real time.
AI-Based Scoring
Structured, unbiased feedback aligned with ABS/ACGME standards.
Simulate real exam conditions
Experience a real oral board exam under timed conditions. Engage with structured examiner questions and competency-based evaluation aligned with ABS and ACGME standards.
The Examiners
The Mock Oral Board (MOB) Simulator uses an AI-assisted evaluation system to replicate the rigor and depth of real oral board examinations. Candidate responses are analyzed in real time using natural-language understanding and medical knowledge models fine-tuned for clinical reasoning.
During AI co-evaluation, MOB employs a fine-tuned large-language model (LLM) to produce structured, bias-minimized feedback and preliminary scoring. Faculty reviewers can adjust or comment before results are returned to learners, ensuring fairness and educational accuracy.
Grading
The MOB grading system evaluates both medical reasoning and professional communication. Each candidate's response is assessed on dimensions such as clinical judgment, prioritization, ethical reasoning, and clarity of explanation.
- Identifies and interprets critical findings in simulated cases
- Demonstrates organized, safe decision-making under time pressure
- Applies sound clinical knowledge to justify treatment plans
- Communicates clearly using professional terminology
- Recognizes personal limits and adapts to complications
MOB automatically generates analytics and feedback reports that learners can use to visualize performance trends and identify areas for improvement over time.
