Board Review Courses Critical Care

[yellow]

Hey everyone...

I was wondering if any one has any advice on the CCM Board Review courses - both CHEST and SCCM have one. Which one is better?

Thanks in advance!

I figured SCCM is better for Critical Care, but I did some of the Chest SEEK questions and they were fantastic.

Any thoughts - What is the gold standard?

It would depend on whether you're taking the IM CC exam, the anesthesia CC exam, or the surgical CC exam.

But along those lines, I need to find me a good board review podcast... my commute time just doubled so I have a bit more in-car time.

I was thinking for the IM CC exam.

How did you decide on the chest course?

Went to the Pulm one last year passed and I thought it was good luck.

Jk there. Never met anyone that's been to the other one and everyone swears by any of them as being enough to pass.

Hi guys! just took the pulm board a few days ago and starting looking into critical care material. Other than Seek questions what other question banks or board review books/online courses etc do you recommend? For pulm I did seek, ATS book, chest video lectures on demand multiple times and felt like they reasonably covered the material to hopefully pass the boards. I like using questions, board review book and online lecture method because its essentially same material in different ways and each one covers something a little different in additions which is wonderful. Any advice would be helpful. BTW it will be the AOBIM CC boards I will be taking but figured prepping for ABIM should have me prepped enough.

Everyone tells me that it's the hardest exam they've ever taken, so I'm doing a lot of questions from various sources to supplement reading. I'm doing the SCCM Self Assessment and both Advanced Knowledge Assessment question sets. I also picked up a subscription to the Board Vitals Pulm/CC question bank on one of their sales, but haven't started those yet. I haven't looked into the SEEK questions, yet.
