PEMQBook Board Review Course 2021
General Highlights:
- The course will be held live, online, virtually, so that you will be able to interact and ask questions.
- The typical 3 day course will be divided into 3 separate 1 day sessions:
- December 2020 (specific dates to be released later)
- January 2021
- February 2021
- Each session covers 1/3 of the course content, making the overall content more manageable, as it is spread out over 3 sessions. Each session is distinct and different.
- The course lectures will be based on commonly challenging areas as well as the participants' performance/need: all participants will be asked to complete Pack 2 of MED-Challenger Peds EM by specified dates relevant to the course content for the specific session. In other words, 1/3 of the content should be completed before each specific session. The results will be used to help tailor the lectures specific to the attendees' needs. Course content (schedule for completion of Challenger modules), will be issued upon registration.
- Pack 1 is available for purchase through Med-Challenger, but is not a requirement for the Board Review Course.
- Lectures will be given by previous editors and authors, as well as Faculty from University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, who are designated to be authors for PEMQBook 2022.
- Pass or don't pay: your Med-Challenger and PEMQBook Board Review Course fees will be refunded if you don't pass the Certification Examination in 2021. Specific details for this guarantee will be available upon registration.
