Students

To access your test, your clerkship director must first create an account for you and assign you a test to take. Once they have completed this step, you can log in to your account to view and take the exam.

Available Tests

• M3 National EM Exam v1
• M4 National EM Exam v1
• M4 National EM Exam v2

M4 National Emergency Medicine (EM) Exams assess the EM M4 Curriculum (references 1, 2) and may be used as end-of-rotation exams for 4th-year EM students (references 3, 4).

M3 National Emergency Medicine (EM) Exam assesses the EM M3 curriculum (references 5,6) and may be used as an end-of-rotation exam for 3rd year EM students who follow the 'MUST' curricular topics from the curriculum. The exam is written based on the objectives listed in the curriculum and the topics are outlined below. Not all objectives are covered as the written exam focuses on the objectives that best cover knowledge-based topics. The exam should only be taken by students who are in a 3rd year EM clerkship, or equivalent rotation. The process for taking the exam is the same as for the M4 exam (see 'National EM M4 Exams' above). There are currently no practice questions for the M3 exam.
