Podcast Ep 16: In-Training Exam Review, Abdominal, Cardiovascular & More
Welcome back to Episode 16! With the In-training exam next week, we are doing things a little different this week. Instead of covering new material before the exam, we are launching three episodes, back to back, reviewing the most high-yield points that we have covered so far, organized by topic. We think this extra layer of spaced repetition will help you gain a few extra points during your test. We have set it up in a quiz format, so you can pause the podcast as you go along.
Podcast Ep 15: BNP, Pneumothorax, Angioedema, & More
Welcome back to episode 15! As promised, we are back to our weekly episodes leading into the ITE. We start this week with a rapid review of some of the infectious disease high-yield points that we have covered in the past few months, and then we dive right into the new material. Stay tuned for some comical outtakes at the end of the podcast for an inside look at the recording of Roshcast. We think you will enjoy it. Let’s get on with the rapid review.
Podcast Ep 14: Otitis Media, Hemophilia, Frostbite, & More
Welcome back to Episode 14! After a short break for Jeff’s honeymoon, we are back this week with more high-quality review. We have weekly episodes in the works to keep you motivated. Take note of a small change to the format this week – after each question, you will hear a one-second pause to contemplate the answer or to pause the podcast to give you even more time. We made this change in response to listener feedback; keep more feedback coming to Roshcast@roshreview.com.
Podcast Ep 13: Shoulder Dislocations, GERD, Burns, Ethanol Abuse, & More
Welcome back to lucky Episode 13! We will start with a cardiology review based on teaching points from prior episodes. Then, we will take you through some new topics from orthopedics to burns.
Podcast Ep 12: Drownings, Geriatrics, Bowel Obstruction, & More
Welcome back to Episode 12! This week we once again continued our theme based review. We focused on a few high-yield bites and envenomation. This material is easy to gloss over since we do not come across it too often clinically. Not only will this prepare you at the bedside, but it will also help you pick up a few easy points on the In-Training Exam, which, by the way, is right around the corner.
Podcast Ep 11: SVC Syndrome, Metabolic Acidosis, ROSC, & More
Welcome back to Episode 11! Hope you all had a fantastic holiday and New Year’s break. With the In-Training Exam (ITE) just a few months away, it is time to kick the studying into high gear! We changed the brief initial Rapid Review to cover topics from all prior episodes for better spaced repetition. In this episode, we go over important mnemonics. Consider pausing the podcast briefly and quizzing yourself as you are listening. Do not forget to check out the blog for the other episodes as well as a few new Rosh Quizzes. Lastly, learn some tricks from the high-scoring test-taker Ryan Ribeira, MD.
Podcast Ep 10: Gout, Glaucoma, Bronchitis, Spider Bites, & More
Welcome back to episode 10! This week we review some key ophthalmologic findings with excellent teaching images for you to see. We also hit the lung, the joints, the extremities and even spend time on scorpions, snakes, and spiders.
RoshQuiz Answer 1.2
According to Godwin et al., during procedural sedation and analgesia, a nurse or other qualified individual should be present for continuous monitoring of the patient, in addition to the provider performing the procedure.
RoshQuiz Question 1.2
Question: In patients undergoing procedural sedation and analgesia in the emergency department, what is the minimum number of personnel necessary to manage complications?
RoshQuiz Answer 1.1
According to Godwin et al., do not delay procedural sedation in adults or pediatric patients in the ED based on fasting time. No reduction in risk of emesis or aspiration has been shown with any fasting duration. This is a Level B recommendation.
Podcast Ep 9: Pneumonia, Endocarditis, Colchicine Toxicity, Herpes Zoster, & More
Welcome back to episode 9! This week we review many high yield associations such as organisms and valvular endocarditis. The episodes are short and sweet, so you can even listen twice! We will start this week’s episode off with a Rapid Review of the previous week’s highlights. Be sure to listen to last week’s episode if you missed it.
RoshQuiz Question 1.1
You are planning to perform procedural sedation to reduce a fracture. The patient’s last meal was 4 hours ago. How much additional time should you wait to perform the procedure?
Podcast Ep 8: Pneumonia, Herpes Zoster, Lung Ultrasound & More
Welcome back to episode 8! With Thanksgiving behind us, let’s keep up the momentum as the In-Training Exam is right around the corner. Here is a sneak peak into the category breakdown established by ABEM for the ITE. Roshcast episodes are 10-15 minutes long so you can focus on a few topics at a time without feeling overwhelmed. The short duration of each episode also allows you to go back and review episodes you may have missed or want to reinforce.
