Talk:ID Board Review

Hello, This is an attempt to create a high-yield, yet succinct study guide for the ABIM ID certification exam. I'm not sure if this study guide will ever be completed, but I hope that it will be very useful as fellows study for their board exams.

My current plan is to use the ABIM ID Blueprint (published January, 2022) as a starting point. Prioritize the topics that will comprise the majority of the test, and then focus on the lower yield topics.

Ideally, each topic would be handled similarly. For example, the template for most bacterial and viral diseases could include:
 * Clinical Presentation
 * Clinical/Lab Diagnosis
 * Management/Treatment
 * For endemic infections, an Epidemiology, or Endemic Regions section can be helpful.
 * For clinical/infectious syndromes e.g. pneumonia, or infective keratitis, Etiology sections with links would be extremely useful to tie them back to the causative organisms.

Formats for these sections can be found here, Page Formats.

I think that's more than enough to keep this group busy for a long period of time.

Best wishes,
