Board testing is different for each specialty. Some residency programs have both oral and written boards, taken at much different times; some specialties have just one exam. Some residency program graduates may qualify to take the written boards immediately after completing the residency program but not be able to take the oral boards until two years later. Other specialties may require that written boards occur during residency training and the oral portion taken within one year of completion of training. Not only the requirements, but the timing, differ. The data above is pulled from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education web site, the accreditation body for graduate medical education. They report board pass rates for different periods of time to account for the various requirements. Not only is the information more accurate, it is also a reflection of the differences amongst specialties.
