Being part of the USAREUR team, the article is a little misleading. These medics didn't just train for a week before the competition, you can go all over Europe and see them training, preparing and challenging themselves - this was not some study for a week and pass the EFMB. I saw them roadmarching months ahead of the competition. I think the mindset of the leadership to challenge their medics and afford them the opportunity to be competitive is what made them successful.

As a former medic and someone who has passed the EFMB I find it interesting that the pass rate has risen so much. Now, I do understand having been involved in a special training program that our Brigade Surgeon developed it does help you pass. We trained nonstop for 3 months prior to the EFMB test. We had 5 medics from our post test in a International test in EUROPE. All 5 of us past. However we had 21 total people pass out of 300 testing which gave us a 7% pass rate. When I was testing the average was 2% pass rate. We also had a 150 question test and now I am seeing it is only 60. Stick to the original process to lesson the standards. The high standards is what makes this an honor to hold.

I remember a test that was invalidated because the pass rate was over 40%. My group of 43 passed 7.
