Description
Emergency Medicine Board Review is a comprehensive guide for preparing for the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) certification or ConCert recertification exam, and for residents preparing for in-training examinations in Emergency Medicine. The text consists of over 900 multiple-choice questions, organized into 20 chapters covering topics such as gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and nervous system emergencies, as well as various disorders. Chapters include questions, answers with detailed explanations, and "test taking tips" to help better navigate a standardized exam. Questions are written in a case-based format that emulates the ABEM and ConCert exams, and are supplemented by numerous figures, tables, and boxes.

Review quote
This is a good review for any practicing emergency medicine provider. The material helped me keep up to date in general knowledge and I will continue to leave it in my backpack and review it when there are breaks at work.
