Although it is not mandatory that all doctors take it, the National Examination of Applicants to Medical Residencies (ENARM) each year attracts the attention of thousands of interested parties. If you want to become a specialist, you know that it is an essential requirement to obtain a place. While, like any test, the important thing is to have adequate preparation. In this case, the information base is available just a click away and it is the Clinical Practice Guidelines.
In that sense, a common problem is that you should always plan well in advance how you study. It is too much information that you must know and understand that you cannot leave your review until the last moment. Whereas if you really spend several months analyzing and reviewing each case then your chances of success will be higher.
In this sense, one of the objectives of the Clinical Practice Guidelines is to help improve the quality of decisions within the practice. By containing explicit recommendations, they are an instrument that facilitates patient care. Therefore, it is not even necessary that you have in mind to present to the ENARM but they should be documents that you consult periodically to improve your daily service.
In addition to being the main support of physicians, their importance lies in that they also function as a defense against possible malpractice lawsuits. If you act according to what is indicated in the documents, you will keep yourself protected.
All the information a doctor should know
One thing to keep in mind is that there are too many. If you are curious about all the information you need to know then you should know that there are currently 818 Clinical Practice Guidelines.
