The impact of a targeted Arab Board of Emergency Medicine examination preparation course on resident success rates
The findings demonstrate the significant impact of the newly introduced, face-to-face, five-day ABEM preparatory course on EMR pass rates, potentially serving as a model for similar programs in other specialties. The results highlight the importance of targeted, up-to-date instruction in improving the confidence and success of EMRs on the ABEM examination. Furthermore, the course's development and the incorporation of ongoing feedback played key roles in further enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the training program.
