Emergency Medicine Q&A Review: Pearls of Wisdom: Third Edition contains more than 750 multiple-choice questions that review the most important information tested on the emergency medicine written board exam. Perfect for review before certification or recertification, this book addresses the core content required for the boards via multiple choice questions followed by the correct answer and an explanation. It allows residents and ER physicians to drill with board-format questions, and focuses on the correct answers only to improve memory retention. A series redesign makes the information easier to read and more pleasing to the eye. This is the perfect complement to Emergency Medicine Written Board Review: Pearls of Wisdom for top performance on the boards.

Emergency medicine, an established specialty in the United States, is now becoming global. India, for example, has recently begun to train physicians specifically for the ER setting. Emergency medicine reviews therefore now have a further reach than ever, especially globally as knowledge-base primers in emerging markets. In the US, emergency medicine is one of a handful of specialties requiring physicians to pass both a written and an oral board exam. EM residents spend approx. $3,500 on board review products (courses, books, etc.) and buy multiple books to prepare for the boards. The written exam is administered once yearly in late October or early November.
