In addition, Dr. Gerard is assembling a group of highly qualified Board Certified Radiologists who will be available for "HOT SEAT" Reviews in other specialties for the oral boards.They will be available to travel to your institution to present reviews, in the specialty of your choice, in a "HOT SEAT" format. This will help concentrate on areas of the boards that require more intensive reviews, contrary to the larger seminars where all topics are covered more superficially. This is in response to resident requests over the past several years. Stay tuned for more details.
Dr. Gerard is also offering a Course titled "Nuclear Board Review Appetizers". This is a course offered early in the year for those that wish to start board preparation early. Participants will be shown many board review cases and will be taught how to interpret studies and there will be a review of all nuclear subjects, including NRC scenarios. This course is given in response to many resident requests for early board preparation. Why start board review late when you can be a step ahead of the rest? If you are interested in this board preparation course, please contact Dr. Gerard at docnucs@yahoo.com.
Dr. Gerard is also working on a new CD to compliment his board reviews which will be available in the near future, and will work on PC and Mac computers. This CD originates from a variety of Dr. Gerard's teaching styles and unique lectures and will offer a high yield tool for learning nuclear medicine for the oral board examination. Stay tuned for the CD release date.
There were 120 residents that attended the "Hot Seat" course from around the United States.
The course included extensive case reviews, as well as in depth reviews of NRC regulations, Practical NRC review sessions and various case scenarios.
