physasst Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Took the PANRE...again...... With the recent DHSc, and all of my work in research and policy, it was almost an afterthought....like, "oh yeah, I need to take that this year"...... Did the 3 day CME resources short course in Chicago....studied for a total of 2 hours after.....too f'n busy.....I really, really, really need to learn how to say no.... Scored better than last time......92nd percentile..... Maybe I shouldn't really study next time too........WTF???? I was really nervous that I f*cked this whole thing up.....I even told my wife..."Well, at least I have my doctorate to fall back on, since I probably failed that"...... The world is crazy.....

Has anyone else had this happen?????? Talk about puzzled?????? I have the same experience. My only prep (and I've worked exclusively in a sub-specialty for 15 years and don't know crap about a lot of things) was reading through the review book once and taking a practice exam.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 13, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 13, 2012 last time I took panre I studied the emory review CD for about an hr total and also achieved my highest score ever. when I take it again in 2 years I plan on not studying at all. if after almost 30 yrs in em I can't pass a primary care exam then there is a problem.
