Get ahead and be prepared
Our vision and aim is to provide expert, up-to-date, high-quality medical education in the field of emergency medicine with a focus on preparation for the Primary and Fellowship examination of the Australasian college for Emergency Medicine.
The EMCQPRACTICE team has created new Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) reflecting the recent and ongoing modifications made to the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) Primary and Fellowship Examinations. The ACEM guidelines for developing and calibrating such questions were meticulously incorporated while generating our high-quality questions.
We believe that practice makes one perfect. Doing practice exams that simulate the actual exam allows you to experience the time pressure and level of difficulty, helping build confidence. Hence, all our educational content is delivered in the form of time-limited practice exams that represent the actual exam.
In addition, after completing the practice exam you get instant real-time results including your mark. You also have the immediate opportunity to review your answers. Review of your practice exam attempt and the relevant feedback for each question not only enhances and consolidates your knowledge but also helps identify areas that need further learning.
The team consists of practicing FACEMs and DEMTs, who deliver innovative, high-quality medical education and training. We are passionate about assisting emergency medicine trainees in Australia and New Zealand in their preparation and success in the Primary and Fellowship examinations.
