Nine emergencies, one sequence, and about ninety seconds to remember it. Learn is where you get the names the board uses, the order you work in, and what every drug in the kit is actually for. Board puts you in the room with one patient whose chest pain becomes something worse if you are slow. Exam is nine other emergencies, and none of them is him.
✓Learn is four rounds. The emergencies in board wording, the response sequence you arrange and commit to, then the kit: which drug for which emergency, and then how each one is used.
✓Board is one appointment, in real time. Marcus, 58, hypertensive, diabetic, a smoker, forty minutes into maintenance. How fast you call for help decides what his chart says at four minutes, and whether you end up doing compressions.
✓Exam is nine other emergencies. A stroke you must not give aspirin to. An asthmatic who can manage four words at a time. Anesthetic toxicity after an inferior alveolar block.
✓This is the CODA 2-17 material, and it is the one section of the board where being wrong is not a lost point.
Learn: four rounds, 37 placements. Board: 11 decisions in one appointment. Exam: 10 harder calls, 40 seconds each.
