Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Benjamin A Willenbring, MD (Regions Hospital)
Description: This board review book contains a collection of case-based questions encompassing a wide variety of topics covered on the emergency medicine board exam. Some question stems include key imaging modalities. The book also provides extended explanations, including a chapter reference in Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine textbook.
Purpose: The book aims to serve as a study tool for the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) and American Osteopathic Board of Emergency Medicine (AOBEM) written exam and the annual in-training exam. It is a great additional resource based on Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine textbook, which is often used when preparing for these exams, with references to chapters that cover the information contained within each question stem. The book clearly meets its objectives by incorporating over 800 case-based questions that cover a variety of topics included in the board exams.
Audience: The book targets emergency medicine residents seeking a study tool to prepare for the annual in-training exams and the ABEM written exam. The book meets the needs of its intended audience, as the in-training exams are taken annually leading up to the ABEM written exam. The author is a credible authority on the subject, as she is an emergency medicine physician who references a critical textbook in the field of emergency medicine.
Features: The book provides a thorough review of key concepts in emergency medicine in preparation for the annual in-training exams and board exam. It includes over 800 questions with expanded explanations and colored visuals in the question stems, separated by chapter. The questions are well thought out and provide a review of central ideas that are applicable to the practice of emergency medicine. The most helpful part of the book is that it provides a unique reference for each question that complements and corresponds to Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine textbook, which is a key reference for the specialty most frequently used by residents in emergency medicine.
Assessment: This book offers a comprehensive review study tool to prepare for the emergency medicine board exams. While this study material is thorough in the broad topics it covers, the explanations are not as extensive as other study materials such as Rosh Review. Rosh Review provides explanations for each answer choice, includes diagrams/graphics where appropriate, and summarizes key learning points from each question.
