Abstract
This article outlines the development process for the scenario-based clinical examination of the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). It emphasizes the importance of gaining hands-on experience with patients and critically analyzing the facts when formulating sound clinical judgments. These exercises enhance critical thinking skills, allowing for self-assessment and reflection on patient outcomes. In addition, the ABO now offers both virtual and live presentations through “The Pathway Program” to further support examination preparation. For more information, please visit the ABO’s official Web site at AmericanBoardOrtho.com.
