As we mentioned at the end of episode 38, this won’t be a regular old RoshCast. Instead of our regularly scheduled content, we put together an interview with Dr. Adam Rosh – the namesake of the Rosh Review, former program director, and most importantly an emergency physician who has dedicated the last 20 years of his life to education. This episode provides a gold mine of actionable information, tools, strategies, and tactics that you can use not only for your upcoming Shelf exam, In-Training exam, or ABEM Certification exam, but any high stakes endeavor. 

The Rosh Review “One Step Further” Award is awarded to a resident who exemplifies the ideals of continuous education and self-improvement and who goes “one step further” to improve a weakness or accelerate a strength. The winner is awarded a plaque by EMRA and a $1,000 check from Rosh Review. Rosh Review will also make a $1,000 donation on behalf of the winner to DonorsChoose.com, a nonprofit organization that allows individuals to make direct donations to public school classroom projects. So those students can also go “One Step Further” in their education.
