  1. In-Training ExamHigh Yield Topics GASTROINTESTINAL Emergency Medicine Foundations Curriculum

  2. 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%

  3. 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

  4. 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

  15. Esophageal Foreign Bodies Foundations Challenge Knowledge Bomb The Problem • Kids swallow weird things; Adults get food stuck The Clues • Vomiting, gagging, choking, neck or chest pain, dysphagia, odynophagia • XR shows radiopaque FBs; consider CT or endoscopy if high clinical suspicion but XR negative The Solution • High-risk FBs (button battery, sharp objects) require emergent removal; others ok for 24hr trial of passage • Food impaction treated with Glucagon 1mg IV vs. soda vs. endoscopy • ALL EFBs require opt GI followup to r/o structural pathology
