What clinical and laboratory geneticists say

“The StudyRare Board Review Bootcamp provided a clear, detailed structure to guide studying for the boards. The small class size, staff expertise, detailed study guides, video taped lectures, frequent office hours, and practice questions were invaluable for reviewing complex topics. I am indebted to the team and Dr. Piqué.”

“The StudyRare ABMGG Board Review Bootcamp was invaluable in preparing for the board exam. It provided a comprehensive review of genetic concepts and clinical scenarios and clarified many important topics that had been superficially covered during my training. The information presented was extremely helpful for boards prep and, more importantly, for future clinical genetics practice. I highly recommend this review course!”

“This course was helpful in getting me started for studying and answering questions in a timed setting. And helped to go over high yield diseases like BWS/RSS. Will recommend this course to other fellows.”

“Fantastic course! It is designed well to help you pass the board. I’d argue that this course is the new standard for ABMGG exam prep.”

Questions

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded and posted to your course page. Recordings and the question bank stay available until the access date listed above.

Do I have to attend live?

No. Live attendance gets you the polls and the discussion; the recording covers the rest.

Does this cover the subspecialty exams?

The course is built for the General Exam, which every candidate sits. Much of the clinical and laboratory content carries over, but the subspecialty exams are not the target.

I took this course before. Do I register again here?

No. Returning students re-register from their dashboard, and we email prior participants directly when that opens.

Can my program or department pay?

Yes. Programs and departments that want to cover a group can email us for an invoice. Email daniel@studyrare.com.

Can I get a refund?

Digital purchases are final once access is granted. Read the refund policy.
