Introduction - ABIM
  • tests knowledge AND application of knowledge
  • review of previously learned information
  • what works to prepare is what works best for
    you

4
Preparation
  • General
  • study began at least three years ago
  • group study
  • six or fewer people
  • set meeting times
  • mock questions

5
Preparation - methods
  • Board review resources
  • MKSAP (closest to ABIM?) (5/5)
  • MedStudy review questions (4.5/5)
  • MedStudy videos (4.5/5)
  • Mayo Clinic book (4/5)
  • Mayo clinic videos (4/5)
  • In Training Exam (3.5/5)
  • Oxford (2.5/5)
  • Audio/Visual
  • Practice tests
  • Review courses

6
Preparation - methods
  • In-training exam
  • JGIM 1994 Dec, JGIM 1998 Jun PGY-2 scores highly
    correlate with ABIM results
  • JGIM 1992 Jan-Feb 35 ITE had 89 positive
    predictive value, 83 negative predictive value
  • use to help guide remaining study

Preparation - methods
  • How many? Is one better?
  • JGIM Study
  • 2780 ABIM candidates
  • mean number of methods 5.2
  • no independent correlation with particular type
    of study method
  • most predictive program director ratings
  • a few is better than one, but too many may signal
    trouble

ABIM Tips (from ResidencyandFellowship.com)
  • Keep your study group small
  • Create and devote time to prepare
  • Prepare a schedule to study
  • Solve questions similar to ABIM exam content
  • Pictures Images
  • ABIM answering strategies
  • Zebras Use exam techniques to your advantage.
    Look for target words in ABIM Internal medicine
    board exam questions. For example
  • if you see the word anosmia, think Kallmanns
    syndrome
  • scar on left abdomen, think splenectomy and
    look for encapsulated organisms causing sepsis
  • if the patient is from the Ohio or Mississippi
    river valleys, think histoplasmosis (CXR/splenic
    calcifications)
  • ABIM exam day dont study just before, or during
    the exam dont discuss questions with others

11
Preparation - organization
  • Subject by subject
  • mixed exams (dont get overconfident with
    section exams immediately after studying) - timed
    practice tests
  • set pace/deadlines - finish early
  • dont inhibit LTM by cramming weak areas last

12
The ABIM Exam
13
The ABIM Exam
  • Structure
  • 1 day, 4 modules, 60 questions, 2 hours each
  • ALL single best answer
  • images X-ray/smears/pressure tracings/EKGs/gram
    stains/urine sediment
  • primary content area 75 (traditional
    medicine subspecialties)
  • cross content area 25 (allergy/immunology,
    dermatology, gynecology, neurology,
    ophthalmology, and psychiatry)
  • single score required to pass (about 65)
  • 2008 91 pass rate for first-time test takers
    (similar for recertification exam)

14
The ABIM Exam
  • Written by practicing internists
  • 85 of questions take place in ambulatory setting
  • Emphasizes general knowledge (22 of questions
    taken from prior test)

21
The ABIM Exam
  • Format
  • clinical stem (patient) followed by lead-in
    (last sentence), question, choices
  • 75 formulation, not just memorization
  • well written, pass by a panel
  • no trick questions
  • no cutting edge medicine
  • uncommon presentation of common diseases

22
Exam Day
  • be rested, confident, ON TIME
  • bad testers can do well if prepared
  • dont study between sessions or exam days
    (inhibition of long term memory, anxiety)
  • honor code - dont make a career ending mistake

23
Approach to the Exam
  • Answer all questions
  • dont get stuck on one question - go back
  • about 2 minutes per question
  • try to answer before looking at the choices
  • dont change answers unless you remember new
    information

28
Evidence Based Recommendations
  • A) Encourage use of sunscreen
  • The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
    concludes that the evidence is insufficient (I)
    to recommend for or against routine counseling by
    primary care clinicians to prevent skin cancer.
  • B) Prescribe a multivitamin with folic acid daily
  • The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is
    insufficient (I) to recommend for or against the
    use of supplements of vitamins A, C, or E
    multivitamins with folic acid or antioxidant
    combinations for the prevention of cancer or
    cardiovascular disease.
  • D) Measure fasting plasma glucose
  • The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is
    insufficient (I) to recommend for or against
    routinely screening asymptomatic adults for type
    2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, or
    impaired fasting glucose.

29
Evidence Based Recommendations
  • C) Screen for Chlamydia trachomatis
  • The (USPSTF) recommends screening for chlamydial
    infection for all sexually active non-pregnant
    young women aged 24 and younger and for older
    non-pregnant women who are at increased risk .
    This is a grade A Recommendation.
  • The USPSTF recommends screening for chlamydial
    infection for all pregnant women aged 24 and
    younger and for older pregnant women who are at
    increased risk . This is a grade B
    Recommendation.
  • The USPSTF recommends against routinely providing
    screening for chlamydial infection for women aged
    25 and older, whether or not they are pregnant,
    if they are not at increased risk .

MKSAP 14 question on Prostate Cancer screening
  • A 45-year-old black man is evaluated for concerns
    about prostate cancer. A good friend was recently
    diagnosed with extensive disease and has a poor
    prognosis. The patient asks if he should have a
    screening test for this disease. He reports
    once-nightly nocturia but has no hesitancy,
    urinary frequency, or dribbling.
  • Which of the following is the most appropriate
    course of action for this patient?
  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement
  • PSA measurement and digital rectal examination

    test (ETT), or electron-beam computerized
    tomography (EBCT) scanning for coronary calcium
    for either the presence of severe coronary artery
    stenosis (CAS) or the prediction of coronary
    heart disease (CHD) events in adults at low risk
    for CHD events.
  • The USPSTF found insufficient evidence (I) to
    recommend for or against routine screening with
    ECG, ETT, or EBCT scanning for coronary calcium
    for either the presence of severe CAS or the
    prediction of CHD events in adults at increased
    risk for CHD events.
  • Carotid artery ultrasonography (D)
  • Statin therapy

35
Evidence Based Recommendations
  • The USPSTF recommends one-time screening for

    insufficient to recommend for or against teaching
    or performing routine breast self-examination
    (BSE).

B recommendation
I recommendation
38
Chemoprophylaxis for Breast Cancer
  • The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
    recommends against the routine use of tamoxifen
    or raloxifene for the primary prevention of
    breast cancer in women at low or average risk for
    breast cancer.
  • The USPSTF recommends that clinicians discuss
    chemoprevention with women at high risk for
    breast cancer and at low risk for adverse effects
    of chemoprevention. Clinicians should inform
    patients of the potential benefits and harms of
    chemoprevention.

51
BRCA screening
  • Who is at risk?
  • non-Ashkenazi Jewish women
  • 2 first-degree relatives with breast cancer, 1 of
    whom received the diagnosis at age 50 years or
    younger
  • 3 or more first- or second-degree relatives with
    breast cancer regardless of age at diagnosis
  • both breast and ovarian cancer among first- and
    second-degree relatives
  • a first-degree relative with bilateral breast
    cancer
  • 2 or more first- or second-degree relatives with
    ovarian cancer regardless of age at diagnosis
  • a first- or second-degree relative with both
    breast and ovarian cancer at any age
  • history of breast cancer in a male relative.

52
BRCA screening
  • Who is at risk?
  • Ashkenazi Jewish women
  • any first-degree relative (or 2 second-degree
    relatives on the same side of the family) with
    breast or ovarian cancer.

53
BRCA screening
  • Average/low risk women?
  • important adverse ethical, legal, social
    consequences of testing
  • important harms of interventions such as
    prophylactic surgery, chemoprevention, or
    intensive screening in non-high risk women
  • potential harms of routine referral for genetic
    counseling or BRCA testing in these women
    outweigh the benefits

54
BRCA screening
  • High risk women?
  • prophylactic surgery for high risk women
    significantly decreases breast and ovarian cancer
    incidence. Thus, the potential benefits of
    referral and discussion of testing and
    prophylactic treatment for these women may be
    substantial.
  • these women would benefit from genetic
    counseling that allows informed decision making
    about testing and further prophylactic treatment.

55
BRCA screening
  • The USPSTF recommends against routine referral
    for genetic counseling or routine breast cancer
    susceptibility gene (BRCA) testing for women
    whose family history is not associated with an
    increased risk for deleterious mutations in
    breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) or
    breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2).

D recommendation
56
BRCA screening
  • The USPSTF recommends that women whose family
    history is associated with an increased risk for
    deleterious mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes be
    referred for genetic counseling and evaluation
    for BRCA testing.
