Bluntly, pass rates for the ABEM exam are concerning. In 2023, the pass rate for first-time takers who had completed an EM residency were down to 88%. That's an unreasonably high failure rate.

How to Lose Your Compassion: the Brutal Reality of Medical Internship

Trying to teach empathy and compassion is a new focus in nursing education as well.
