Tailored for the Rheumatology Board Exam (ABIM)
Copyright © 2023 All Rights Reserved
The Rheumatology Board Certification Exam is dreaded by all rheumatology fellows. There is no UWORLD, no reputable board-review book (besides “RHEUM SECRETS”, which is great but in my opinion information-overload for test-taking purposes), and the review courses cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. We need better sources.
I am a recent graduate from a respected rheumatology program that was able to score well on the Rheumatology Board Certification exam. My fellowship program also won 1st place at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Knowledge Bowl Competition during my fellowship.
I have personally made a deck of digital flashcards tailored for the boards based on the Continuing Assessment Review Evaluation (CARE) question bank (from years 2011-2022) as well as up-to-date ACR guidelines (current up to 2024). I am hoping this can serve you all well like it has me.
To pass the boards and score well, I only studied these cards, the ACR guidelines, and did the CARE questions (twice). To each their own, but doing that really worked for me.
In my experience, the best way to absorb the necessary material for board exams, including and ESPECIALLY the rheumatology boards, is by using question banks and digital flashcards.
The topics within the deck will be organized by categories, or “tags”, via the ANKI app. You will see all the tags in the app. Categories included, but not limited to:
-RA, SLE, PsA, etc.
-Skin diseases
-Vasculitides
-Autoinflammatory conditions
-Histology (relevant for boards)
-Rheumatology radiology
-Management/medication based guidelines (per up-to-date ACR guidelines)
-Osteoporosis (per ACR guidelines)
***thus far, ALL the major points from the ACR guidelines have been included in this deck.
I will continue to update this deck as time goes on…
Adding to this deck helps me stay up-to-date with rheumatology and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
