Pearls of Exxcellence

The Pearls of Exxcellence are the most challenging topics for Ob/Gyn certification.

The Exxcellence Foundation will review the data from the three oral Board certification exams, and compile a list of the ten to twelve most challenging topics. A short review and references will periodically be posted.

** The Exxcellence Foundation is committed to accuracy and therefore will review and validate all Pearls every three years. As of September 1, 2011 all Pearls have been reaffirmed.
