The lectures by the course faculty – all board-certified clinical informaticians— are available as video recordings, and their slides are provided as downloadable pdfs. The review questions are multiple choice questions meticulously developed by item writers who are clinical informatics subject matter experts, experienced in crafting items that follow NBME guidance.
Each question is related to the clinical informatics Delineation of Practice, and offers four plausible answers, with only a single answer being the most correct. Review questions offer the learner >200 opportunities to winnow out distractors, arrive at the best answer, receive explanations for why the answer options are correct or incorrect, and refer to references supporting evidence-based practice.
