First up some Free Stuff...
Ok, so this has started as a pet project alongside my revision for MCEM part B, its content should follow the path of the College of Emergency Medicine exams as I do.
The aim is to share useful resources and some notes I make based around the CEM curriculum and exams. Initially it may be more sharing/ highlighting other peoples good work, but as I get a feel for it I shall hopefully generate more of my own stuff.
I would like to create a resource for quick bites of revision to fit around work.
1) two websites with free examples of Part B SAQ's
http://www.mcemcourses.org - if you haven't checked these guys out yet I would recommend doing so. I finally passed MCEM A after taking their course and I am booked on their Part B course (Expect a review after I attend). Their website contains several free resources for all parts of the exam including practice questions for part B. As further endorsement they are the authors of one of the few books for the exam.
http://mcemexamprep.co.uk - I used this website prior to my first sitting of MCEM A, but they also have sample questions for part B. I will be using their Part B questions over the next month.
2) Toxicology:
had these shared with me by somebody else #Foamed

3) Finally a tip from me...
Local anaesthetic calculations can be tricky, but are a common exam question and an everyday activity in the ED. To work out how much lidnocaine is in a ml of a percentage solution simply multiply the percentage by 10.
- 1% x 10 = 10mg/ ml
Best of luck to all those sitting the exams...
