Hear what candidates say
"I highly recommend taking this course to help prepare for the oral boards. In fact, I have recommended it to several friends and they were equally happy with the results. One of them had taken the Osler course first and failed, but then passed after working with Dr. Argy. The course will remove all the myths about taking the exam and will teach you a presentation style that assure success."
"I felt confident going into the orals because I aced the written, and was busy doing things everyday that the board tests you on. I took the Osler course the weekend before and promptly failed the orals on my first try. I felt that their advice actually worsened my performance. I needed a "sure thing" the second time around, and Dr. Argy is as close to it as you are going to find. In the next exam I knew I passed as soon as I left the last room. Don't make the same mistake I made on my initial attempt. If you want maximum confidence - take his course the FIRST time around!"
"I can't recommend this enough. I have friends who are very intelligent and excellent surgeons who have failed the boards, some even after taking another well known course. After two of these people referred me to Odyssey, I signed on. [Dr. Argy] not only gives you pertinent information about how to take the exam, he also gives you exceptional hands on treatment that will all but guarantee that you'll pass."
