Arab Board OMFS Part 1 case studies
Arab Board OMFS Part 1 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Arab Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Part 1 is the written, theory-based first stage of the Arab Board training pathway in OMFS, taken by residents and surgeons preparing for specialist certification. It is a knowledge examination rather than a clinical one: it tests whether you can reason from basic science and general medicine into maxillofacial practice. Content is weighted toward applied basic sciences and core OMFS, with smaller components in oral medicine and pathology, general surgery and medicine, anesthesia and pain control, trauma, orthognathic surgery, restorative considerations, and research methods and biostatistics. Preparation works best as a structured revision cycle rather than last-minute cramming. The Arab Board OMFS Part 1 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,030 words.
