Speaker FAQ's - Greater Chicago Board Review

You will be required to review your slides from March 4th - March 18th. Revisions to the material are requested by March 18, 2024. ACP will incorporate necessary updates and provide finalized presentations by April 29, 2024.  Should you encounter an update or error in your presentation after this date please notify your course director immediately.

You may add to the Notes section of your presentations until May 9, 2024. After May 9th, you will need to hand-carry any additional notes to the conference.

Please do not mention commercial products or trade names in your presentation. Rather, please use generics whenever possible. If it is necessary to use a trade name, then those of several companies must be included and objectively addressed.

Refrain from making statements during your presentation such as "the boards will ask" or "this will be on the boards" as the ABIM provides the following guidelines regarding sharing exam content:

"ABIM exams and their content are strictly confidential and protected by federal copyright and trade secret laws. Candidates who obtain, review, copy, share, discuss, reproduce, adapt, disclose, transmit or study from ABIM exam content - before or after an exam - may be subject to ABIM disciplinary sanctions and legal action."

We encourage you to utilize presenter mode as you give the lecture.  In this mode, you will see the elapsed time from the beginning of your presentation and you'll know how much time you have left until the end.  The embedded questions also have answers that highlight the key points of the correct answer and review reasons for the incorrect answers. Important: please refrain from reading your slides. Instead, use the information on the slides to provide a clear, engaging talk that clarifies the correct answer and provides key test-taking tips.

Plan accordingly so that 5-10 minutes are available at the end of the presentation for questions from the audience.
