General Surgery Group Course Schedule

Upcoming 3-Day Intensive Work Groups and 2-Day Audits, held via video teleconference about a month before each exam.

Odyssey Group Courses are scheduled about a month before each Certifying Exam period, so you have time to practice what you learn. Seats are limited to keep groups small (up to 9 candidates in a testing group). Dates below are updated as new exam periods are announced — contact Dr. Argy to confirm the current schedule and reserve your place.
