Question and single-answer format eliminates the guesswork associated with traditional multiple-choice Q A reviews and reinforces only the correct answers needed on exam day. Emphasis is placed on distilling key facts and clinical pearls essential for exam success. This high-yield review for the emergency medicine written board review is designed to compliment larger texts for intense, streamlined review in the days and weeks before the exam.

The primary intent of this book is to serve as a study aid to improve performance on the EM Oral Board Exam. To achieve this goal the text is written in three formats: a topic review, a rapid-fire question/answer format, and actual practice cases. Emphasis has been placed on distilling true trivia and key facts that are easily overlooked, are quickly forgotten, and that somehow seem to be needed on board exams. The first third of the text is presented in a straightforward format with more basic facts. The second section consists of random pathophysiology, procedure, and treatment pearls. The questions are grouped into small clusters by topic presented in no particular order. The random Pearls section repeats much of the factual information contained in the Pearls Topics and builds on this foundation with greater emphasis on linking information and filling in gaps from the Pearls Topics. The final section of the text, Oral Boards Cases, is the most important, as it contains actual practice cases that should be used with your study partner to gain confidence and experience in attacking boards cases.

In the unique vignette format of the Pearls Series(R), this book presents a variety of problems that challenge emergency physicians in everyday practice. For each patient, the authors present the case scenario, physical findings, lab data, and a clinical photo, and the reader is challenged to formulate a diagnosis and a treatment strategy. The next page reveals the diagnosis, discusses the condition, and leaves the reader with several "pearls of wisdom" distilled from the case. Actual real-life case studies are presented. Efficient problem-solving, self-study approach is ideal for board review Important points (pearls) are distilled from the case presentation Key references offer readers additional resources to consult
