When and where are board review courses for Part I of Psychiatry and
Neurology Boards in NEW YORK CITY for November 6, 2002 exam?

Hi,
After several phone calls to area schools with psychiatry-neurology
departments, it seems that there is not a huge demand for review
courses for this specialty. If you are interested in taking courses
after you are practicing, they are very helpful - but to prepare for
the boards, not so very informative.

I was able to find a couple of offerings for psychiatry, one online
and one at a NYC hotel.


Medtext
http://www.medtext.net/psychiatry.html provides a home study course
and materials for psychiatry. They claim a 97% pass rate. Sample
questions are at: http://www.medtext.net/psychsamples.html

Osler's Psychiatry Board Review Courses has dates set for both written
and oral Psychiatry review courses in New York City:

I'm waiting for a call back from the
New York State Psychiatric Association
100 Quentin Roosevelt Boulevard
Suite 509
Garden City, NY 11530

Phone - 516-542-0077
Fax - 516-542-0094

email - centraloffice@nyspsych.org

After speaking with Donna in their office, I may be able to add
additional information. If she does have any more data, I will post it
as a clarification.

A lot of effort went into the answer - thanks; however, the Osler link
doesn't lead to the answer I was interested in (an upcoming course in
NYC) but rather to a course offered in Baltimore.

Dear Vladimir - 
    I could unable to find Courses on the exams in question.   I have
listed the website below which has a downloadable file that includes
the content and requirements for taking the exams.   Also I listed a
schedule of application dates, unfortunately the one for this year has
expired.  If you are signed up already I wish you well in your
endeavors to pass the exam.
