In-training Exam (ITE) Content: • Written to level of EM3 • Predicts performance on EM Boards • 225 MC questions • Given 4.5 hrs to take • +/- 25 are visual stimuli – pictures/ekg/xrays • Highest yield topics • Cardiovascular ~ 10% • Trauma ~ 10% • Abd/GI ~ 8% • Thoracic/Respiratory ~ 8% • Procedures/Skills ~8% • Note that Geriatrics makes up at least 6% of these and Pediatrics at least 8%
Foundations Challenge Overview • Rapid Review of High-Yield Test Topics • Visual Diagnosis • Clinical Concepts • Rapid Fire • Work in 2-4 different teams • Answer challenge questions for points • Point value per challenge varies by difficulty • Win test prep and pride
Foundations Challenge Rules • Create a Team Name • Best Team Name starts the Challenge (as arbitrarily determined by your Instructor) • Your team must answer the entire question correctly to win points • If you team answers incorrectly, the Challenge Question points can be stolen by the next team • If they answer correctly, they get your points AND a chance to answer the next question • If they answer incorrectly, the turn passes again to the next team in line
