Our Team

 

 

Dr. Alvin D. Schamroth, is the founder of ExamPro. He has assisted thousands of candidates nationwide to pass their boards.  Having been initially trained in the European medical system, he has personally passed over 300 oral exams. In addition, his late father (a world-renowned lecturer and author of several medical texts) was also an oral board examiner and passed secrets of the examiner's perspective on to his son. Dr. Schamroth has also been on the faculty of the Osler Institute, Director and faculty member of MastersBoard Review and has lectured at multiple university program OB/GYN departments across the nation. He is foremost in the nation on exam technique, and this is where he contributes to ExamPro. Dr. Schamroth has personally selected all our faculty and staff based on their knowledge, teaching skills, and willingness to help those requiring board certification. He has further trained them on the principles and specific techniques of oral board examination which are unique to ExamPro. ExamPro enjoys an incredible success and satisfaction rating amongst its candidates.

 

Dr. Larry Udoff is currently the residency director at University of Maryland in the Reproductive Endocrinology Division of the Dept of OB/GYN. He is the recipient of multiple national honors including the National Faculty Award (CREOG). Most importantly, he makes the field of REI easy to understand, and gives you all you will need to know for the exam in an easy, relaxed and understandable fashion.
   
Dr. Edward Podczaski heads up the department of GYN Oncology at The Pennsylvania State University School of Medicine. He has authored multiple articles, book chapters and is consultant to the 'Green' Journal, Cancer, and Gynecologic Oncology Journals. Of more importance, however, are the multiple presentations he has delivered nationwide, not to mention recently, being the recipient of a national award for excellence in resident teaching. He is a phenomenal lecturer on the national OB/GYN lecture circuit making the subject of Gyn Onc seem simple and easy.

Dr. Margaret Miller graduated from Emory University. She is nationally unique since she is trained as an internal medicine specialist but has chosen to specialize and work in a unique OB consultant clinic staffed by internists! She is thus uniquely positioned to lecture on primary care topics. This view is echoed by our candidates’ feedback: ‘Never before have I heard such a clear, inclusive and interesting perspective on primary care!’ She has been invited to make multiple presentations both regionally and nationally, and has played a central role in the teaching of medical students and residents. She is a welcome addition to our faculty.

Those who have been fortunate to have him as their teacher uniformly speak of his incredible energy, understanding of the subject, and ability to pass this knowledge onto others.
   

Dr. Louis Foley: We were extremely fortunate to discover Dr Foley when he attended one of our courses as an exam candidate!

He is the recipient of the Clifford Powell Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching and also received the honor of "Outstanding Laparoendoscopic Resident Surgeon!"

 

   

Dr. Diane Harper, how does one condense a 56 page resume into 1 paragraph? It is impossible to do justice to her credentials!

She is a referee for over 30 journals (including Lancet, JAMA, Journal of Reproductive Medicine and NEJM).

Dr Harper is clearly one of those phenomenal people who succeeds at whatever she does. We are indeed fortunate to have such an august member on our faculty.
