The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Board Review course is a 12-month revolving curriculum that reviews various topics in pediatric emergency medicine with an emphasis on those topics that are frequently encountered in a test situation. We focus on general test-taking skills and use the yearly in-training exam (SITE exam) to monitor each fellows' progress. The curriculum is designed around the content specifications for the exam as outlined by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). You will find the monthly topic list and the ABP content specifications below.

The seminar starts with a multiple-choice test and uses an interactive lecture format to review the selected topic. It is expected that each fellow has spent time reviewing the selected topic prior to the seminar. Some fellows have used the content specifications to familiarize themselves with the topic and then use various sources (review articles, PEM textbooks, board review texts, etc...) to learn/review the content. At various times throughout the year, the third-year fellow may be directing the seminar.

The board review, statistics, imaging and toxicology courses happen on the third Wednesday of each month. The location of the seminar is usually the Medical Simulation Center. We start at 8 am and usually end by 3 pm.
