Course Description
Psychiatry for Psychiatrists: The Pre-Test (PFP) prepares attendees for the newly formatted Psychiatry Certification examination. PFP has been strategically updated to include audio, visual, and written vignettes designed to familiarize participants with the new Part C of the examination.
What Makes This Course Unique
PFP uses a question and answer format based on an anonymous audience response system. It actively engages the learner and comprehensively reviews topics in psychiatry most relevant to the revised exam while providing a clinical review and update. An experienced and well-informed faculty will discuss the examination format, process, and test-taking strategies, and offer helpful insights throughout course (arrive on time!).
This format assesses “real time” knowledge and assists attendees in preparing for the actual examination. It is truly a dynamic course. Faculty will review responses and reinforce correct answers utilizing discussions and explanations. The interactive presentations, discussions and explanations will stress the main areas of psychiatry: basic science, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. The faculty will emphasize subjects that are critical, complicated, or otherwise important. They will not belabor the obvious or dwell on the esoteric.
Educational Materials
Attendees will receive an extensive syllabus and also a separate question book upon check-in.

Psychiatry for Psychiatrists: The Pre-test will prepare attendees for the new standard format of the ABPN examination and offer them a review of modern psychiatry.
