MockUro simulates the urology oral board examination format so you can get high-quality reps before exam day. MockUro was built for residents and fellows preparing for board certification and in-service exams, and urologists aiming to brush up for re-certifying exams. Work through ~250 case-based Socratic dialogues spanning the full urology curriculum - oncology, endourology, reconstruction, pediatrics, female pelvic medicine, trauma, neurogenic bladder, transplant, andrology, and more. Each case unfolds as a back-and-forth with an AI examiner who asks follow-up questions and scores your performance across four domains: Workup, Treatment, Complications, and Guidelines. REALISTIC EXAM FORMAT Cases mirror the oral board structure: you receive a patient presentation, then answer a series of probing questions. There are no multiple choice answers. You respond in your own words, just like the real exam. THREE EXAMINER PERSONAS Choose your examiner to match your preparation goals: - Dr. Young (Supportive) — rewards correct reasoning, lenient for partial answers - Dr. Huggins (Standard) — balanced feedback - Dr. Whitmore (Strict) — strict feedback with no partial credit AI-POWERED GRADING Each response is evaluated by AI against an expert answer key. Your scorecard breaks down performance by domain, highlights strengths, identifies gaps, and references landmark studies. SPACED REPETITION MockUro tracks every case you complete and uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm to surface your weakest cases at the right intervals, so you spend time where it matters most. BOARD READINESS SCORE Your weighted Board Readiness Score updates after every session, giving you an at-a-glance measure of exam preparedness across all topic areas. CLINICAL REFERENCE LIBRARY Built-in reference library covering landmark studies and key topics. Searchable and available offline. PRACTICE EXAM MODE Simulate a timed multi-case exam session to build stamina and pacing for exam day. CASE TRANSCRIPTS Case transcripts and pacing stats are retained on your local device so you can review exactly what you said and how long you took on each question. REMINDERS If desired, daily study reminders are available to keep your prep on schedule. WHY MOCKURO Board exams test more than recall, they test how you think out loud under pressure. MockUro is built around that: every case is a real-time exchange, not a multiple choice question, so you build the same reasoning-under-pressure skills the actual exam requires. --- MockUro is intended for urology trainees and practicing urologists preparing for their in-service exams, written or oral board examination, or re-certifying examination.
