Aligned with the American Board of Emergency Medicine EM Model of Clinical Practice. Authored & peer-reviewed by faculty, clinicians, and program directors.
Each question is written to resemble the format and topics on the exam, meaning you won’t see any negatively phrased questions, no “all of the following except,” no “A and B”…you know what we mean. Most importantly, all questions include selective distractors (incorrect answer choices), which will help you think critically.
An 18-year-old man presents after having dived into a shallow pool where he struck his head on the bottom. He has tenderness over C5–C7. His cranial nerves are intact. He attempts to abduct his bilateral shoulders but is unable to. He can flex and extend his hips, knees, and ankles against gravity but is weak when an opposing force is applied. What is the most likely cause of his weakness?
Understanding why an answer choice is incorrect is just as important as knowing why one is correct. That’s why every Rosh Review question includes detailed explanations for the correct and incorrect answer choices. These comprehensive summaries link the most important components of a topic—from risk factors to diagnostics and treatment—giving you the context to build relationships between them.
Custom illustrations and tables help further clarify the core concepts. When information is presented visually, you can focus on meaning, easily reorganize and group similar ideas, and make better use of your memory.
