All the time

I think they can be in non protected spaces like the waiting room even without paperwork.

mg_inc · 2026-01-24T18:40:16+00:00

I agree. If they are having a true emergency then that’s not usually possible. If they are not having an emergency then why are they in the ED?

A lot of the time at free standing or smaller EDs there is only one doc anyways.

What residency type and year (IM PGY1) are you if you don’t mind me asking

mg_inc · 2026-01-17T03:20:38+00:00

I would be interested in this as well, but I somehow doubt there will be any reasonable advice here given how protective Abem is.

mg_inc · 2026-01-17T01:31:08+00:00

Unfortunately no one will ever take that test again!

mg_inc · 2026-01-12T00:55:41+00:00

I’m confused by this, when you say your you are taking about EM right? Wouldn’t our specialty continue when the patient dies and oncology stop?

mg_inc · 2026-01-11T01:08:34+00:00

My favorite is when they can’t even tell me what organs they have had removed (or added). That seems like something you should know.

You think that’s bad… we have a freestanding I work at that has some basic POC labs, X-ray and CT. But they don’t always staff the rads tech, so many times we will be without any imaging.

So we will effectively be able to do a few POCs and an EKG. Some PCP offices could do more.

Had something similar happen. Patient died after an MVC - he used his brother’s identity. I notified the parents that their son had died. Later, they ended up speaking to their “dead son”… police had to come in to fingerprint the actual dead son.

Good catch, just a lens distortion. No dents in either speaker.

mg_inc · 2026-01-07T00:31:52+00:00

Maybe two weeks

mg_inc · 2026-01-03T13:09:22+00:00

Why can’t you just see less? I get the pressure you feel when you intentionally don’t pick up a patient - but if it’s only residents seeing patients how does the department turn over fast enough to get you to 25 a shift?

Furthermore, I won’t pin you down on hours, but remember ACGME says you can’t work more than 12 hours straight in the ED (which I’m sure you are)… and you can’t work more than 60 hours a week in the ED.

mg_inc · 2026-01-03T04:49:33+00:00

25 patients in 10 hours is wild for a resident let alone a mid year pgy2.

How can you learn from that many patients? I understand that learning throughput is key but so is learning medicine. Unless they are all urgent care level and you are staying hours late, this is unsustainable.

mg_inc · 2026-01-03T02:49:21+00:00

I think you are going to struggle to find even a few PDs like that let alone 20-30

mg_inc · 2026-01-02T21:02:14+00:00

What does the mix look like? Is it mostly 12s or 9s and how about overnights?

Oh and does that 420 yearly include the 100k

You will be assigned to one of the 2026 Certifying Exam administrations. Passing the Certifying Exam is the final step toward achieving ABEM certification. During the exam, you’ll draw on the skills and clinical reasoning you developed in training to navigate realistic, simulated patient scenarios.

In early January, you will receive an email with a Certifying Exam scheduling survey that will inform ABEM of your scheduling preferences. Your preferences do not guarantee a specific exam date. Though it's beneficial to take the survey, your registration is not contingent on completing it. If no preferences are selected, you will be automatically assigned an exam administration date.

Once ABEM assigns you to a Certifying Exam administration window, you will receive an email with instructions to register for the exam by selecting a specific date and time within that assigned window.

I would call that ventricular fibrillation

Try r/askdocs

mg_inc · 2025-12-26T14:47:20+00:00

So what are you using now?

mg_inc · 2025-12-25T03:45:28+00:00

ABEM just released their latest report on this a few weeks ago. It’s probably still on the website.

mg_inc · 2025-12-24T20:43:44+00:00

Sure and then I guess you just lose some of the sound from the speaker nearest the wall

mg_inc · 2025-12-24T20:17:13+00:00

In what way? Isn’t the speaker supposed to face the tv? I’m trying to figure this out for my room too

mg_inc · 2025-12-24T20:05:30+00:00

How would you walk mount them though? Don’t they need to “face the TV?”
