2008 Board Results Now Available!

Just got my long awaited e-mail announcing that the CV board certification results are now posted. What took so long? :)

Avoid that awkward moment when you are wondering whether or not to ask someone who just took the exam whether they passed...it's all available to look up at www.abim.org on their home page.

I also just got my nuc board results by US mail today. A nice feature of the nuc board results is that they break out the scores by exam topic, and they tell you exactly how many questions you needed to pass. www.cbnc.org, however, does not dish on who passed. Their website only allows a search for diplomates, but most fellows probably fall into the testamur category -- once the CBNC reconciles that you passed your ABIM CV boards, you get switched from testamur to diplomate status.

Anyone want to kickoff a discussion on the exam process now that it is over?

	Brian Choi, Asst Moderator	This year's nuc exam required a minimum of 123/175 questions (~70%) correct to pass; prior years required 124-130 (see MD Cerqueira et al. JACC Imaging 1(6):801-8, 2008). I don't know if that means that this year was easier to pass than in previous, but, hey, I'm not complaining if 2008 was easier :)   More data should become available once the exam statistics are released.
