THE WRITTEN EXAMINATION

Application for Examination in 2007

A candidate scheduled to complete an accredited residency program on or before September 30, 2006, must appliy on or before November 17, 2006, to write the examination on June 25, 2007.

The application form to write the written examination on June 25, 2007 may be obtained by writing to the Board office after September 1, 2006.

Each applicant must meet the requirements effective in the year of requested admission to the examination.

As a part of the application form, endorsement and verification of the resident's experience, competence, SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE and confirmation of the scheduled date for completion of the candidate's residency are required to be affirmed by the current Director of the obstetrics-gynecology residency program.

The Board will make the final decision concerning the applicant's admission to the examination after considering all circumstances affecting the application.

Two fees are required, an application fee and an examination fee.

Application Fee

A candidate's application to write the examination on June 25, 2007, completed in all details, together with payment of the application fee (see Fees and Dates, Deadlines, Fees and Late Fees for Written Examination), must be RECEIVED in the Board office on or before November 17, 2006.

PLEASE NOTE: APPLICATION FEES MUST ACCOMPANY THE APPLICATION. Application fees sent prior to the mailing of an application are subject to late charges.

A copy of the candidate's current license showing a current expiration date also is required (see Requirements).

Late fees (see Fees and Dates, Deadlines, Fees and Late Fees for Written Examination) will be applied to applicants who have not submitted all required materials by November 17, 2006.

Examination Fee

The candidate ruled admissible to the examination will be notified in February, that:

(1) the examination is scheduled to be written on June 25, 2007 and they are authorized to contact the Pearson-VUE computer based testing service to make a testing center reservation;

(2) the EXAMINATION FEE is payable and the date the fee must be paid (see Fees and Dates, Deadlines, Fees and Late Fees for Written Examination).

If a candidate is found to be involved in litigation or investigation regarding ethical or moral issues, the application will be reviewed. Usually, the Board will defer a decision for entry into the examination to gain further information.

Falsification of data (including eligibility information, case lists, etc) or evidence of other egregious ethical, moral or professional misbehavior may result in a deferral of a candidate's application for at least three years*.

The candidate must then meet all eligibility requirements in effect at the end of the deferred period.

When the Board rules an applicant not admissible to the written examination, a new application and application fee must be submitted.

The candidate must fulfill the requirements in effect the year of the new application.
