So, it's my understanding that some time after you complete neurosurgical residency you can take a multi-day test and get board certified by the ABNS. What I don't understand is what it means when I hear 3rd and 4th year residents taking "the boards" for credit. Are these components of the same board, or is this something different? I realize this probably seems super ignorant to many of you, but I've never gotten a clear answer on this and would love some clarification.

Either register an account and PM me or email the admin at admin@neurosurgeryhub.org if you are interested in helping here.  

As suggested, we will keep the anonymous forum posting enabled.
Having reliable mods would be nice.
Also, contributing to the wiki and educational materials.

Any thoughts?  I was going to try a program review (both for applicants and residents), and a conference/course calendar.  Any other ideas are appreciated.
