ABP Pediatric Hospital Medicine study guide

Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) is one of the pediatric subspecialties for which the American Board of Pediatrics offers subspecialty certification. Candidates generally enter the PHM certifying exam pathway after completing pediatric residency and accredited subspecialty fellowship training, and must satisfy the ABP's general criteria for subspecialty certification plus any subspecialty-specific admission requirements before they can sit for the exam. The examination is administered by computer; the ABP publishes a Computer-Based Administration Policy covering test-day administration, and it maintains content outlines for subspecialties to describe the knowledge areas its exams sample. Because the ABP's public site does not enumerate PHM-specific domain weightings, item counts, exam duration, or pass thresholds, candidates should treat any such figures they encounter elsewhere with caution and confirm details directly with the ABP. Topics on this exam: Pediatric Hospital Medicine Content (official subspecialty content outline domains not enumerated in source) and Unweighted placeholder domain (source does not enumerate subspecialty domains). The ABP Pediatric Hospital Medicine study guide has 2 sections and about 760 words.
