Well, there's always Pediatrics, Pain and Palliative if you want to add more fellowships and boards to your CV. It's all about choice. Even a generalist like me will need to keep recertifying every few years. Sucks but that is the life of medicine.

Good luck on CCM.

Wow thanks for posting that, I expected an email. Had you not, I may not have found out till october or "at least 10 weeks" it took me only 30mins on the website to figure out how to find out if I passed, but at least i did!!

Congrats to everyone!

And if your wondering how to find out, www.echoboards.org then go to verify certification...

Did you take the advanced exam? I am a CA2 and would like to take it as a CA3 as well.

What books/resources did you guys use to study for this exam? Also what's the difference between the Basic and Advanced exams?

Check out PTEmasters.com. I used this to study for the repeat TEE exam and did well.

+1

Mathew is the standard. Used Edelman & Burch. Didn't use e-echo.

Didn't like Perrino's Practice, but loved Practical Approach.

Never heard of Joseph Mathew's book until now. Per Amazon reviews and the above, sounds like a worthwhile addition to my library.

Ordered this the other day, and will report back once I check it out:
