Candidates are strongly advised to prepare adequately for the examination by following the European Curriculum of Emergency Medicine, and by consulting current Emergency Medicine textbooks, as well as current important international guidelines. Candidates should note that the examination primarily uses the latest edition of Judith Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide as the reference text, as well as

  • ESC guidelines since 2010: Atrial fibrillation, ACS non-ST elevation, acute cardiac failure
  • SIGN guidelines since 2010: antithrombotics
  • NICE guidelines since 2010: epilepsy, acute GI bleeding, venous thromboembolic disease, headaches, anaphylaxis
  • European Resuscitation Council guidelines since 2010
  • Ultrasound-specific resources: Ma, Mateer, Blaivas: "Emergency Ultrasound", McGraw Hill

​EBEEM candidates and their training instructors should become familiar with the European Curriculum that is approved by the UEMS Board.

Also see the sample multiple choice questions, of the type you would expect to find on the Part A exam.
