Got the following email
“At this time, we are unfortunately unable to offer you a seat assignment for a 2023 Oral Certification Examination.
ABEM’s 2023 Oral Exam seats have all been assigned, and the number of candidates exceeded the number of seat assignments available. However, if physicians decline their exam seats, ABEM maintains a cancellation list from which you may be offered open seats.”
Confused. Failed in May of 2022 on first go around. I’m eligible until end of 2026. Pretty concerning. Sounds like they aren’t making enough spaces for anyone that has to take it again. I work at a BE/BC site. I emailed earlier this year to ask about rescheduling and was told I’d find out by the end of the month. Can’t imagine anyone is going to deny taking boards. Anyone have any insight?
