An "insider's guide" for success on the Emergency Medicine written board and in-service exams written by residents and junior faculty.

It is a complete review of emergency medicine topics tested on the written board exam. Approximately 125 clinical images and algorithms enhance the text. Margin notes reinforce key points. A chapter on preparing for the emergency medicine board exam provides helpful advice on scheduling study time, how to register for the exam, and what to expect on exam day.
