NBE critical care echo exam 2026
Started by criticalcarehero
Took it. Wish I studied all those artifacts more, had no motivation. I always struggle with RWMA questions too. But felt like a fair exam overall.
I felt the same.
I hope both of us pass

What was your motivation to take this exam? I have fellows periodically ask if it’s worth investing the time. What resources did you use?
Honestly, my motivation is self improvement.
I wanted to learn more about echo
Studying for it made me understand lots of concepts
I do the POCUS curriculum for my residents and realized a lot of my personal clinical use of TTE incorporated "clinical gestalt" (vibes). Wanted to be able to better describe my findings objectively. Self improvement as well, thinking about ELSO next.
Passed. Anyone know if there’s an exam report? Looking on my phone can’t see anything. Would be nice to review what I missed.
I passed.
Could not review the results as well.
Any idea how to do case log?
R we supposed to mention specific details in each case?
Just asking bcz I want to apply for board certification.

Examples dependent on your situation... Not sure if pursuing certification does anything for me (as if testamur did).
I decided during fellowship to not even bother. Had to be full examinations, they go out of their way to state that typical focused exams are inadequate. 150 scans. And you couldn't even just go around the unit scanning every patient every day, they all had to be medically indicated and serial exams were only allowed if there was a clinical change.
Tough in a 1 year fellowship. Even harder when you barely hit 250 hrs of ICU a year like me.
