BEWARE USING O’KEEFE. The resource itself is perfectly fine. However, the night before the boards, I received an error message repeatedly that there was an error establishing a database connection. I immediately sought help from O’Keefe customer support, and received an email that all was resolved well after I had gone to bed for the night. When I asked for my money back the next day, I was informed that because I had reviewed more than 25 cases that this would be against O’Keefe’s refund policy since the O’Keefe’s service was available for all of the time necessary besides a 90 minute down time period. The problem that the customer service representatives at O’Keefe are not recognizing is that busy clinical cardiologists / trainees using their resource are counting on the service being available at ALL times, especially for a $200 dollar fee, and especially for the night before the EKG section of the cardiology boards. It should not matter how many cases I reviewed when I paid for a service that should be available to me at all times. I cannot comment on the quality of other resources, but I can confidently say that I would AVOID USING O’KEEFE’S given the unpredictable nature that the program will actually function and will be letting every cardiology trainee I know about my negative experience.
EDIT: Lori from customer service has noted that I asked for my money back on threat of leaving a poor review. Yes, I did that, giving O’Keefe’s a last chance to make the situation right.
EKG volume is great. Good to get repetitions in. Occasionally have some mild differences of opinion or contradictory answer explanations. Overall high value to get familiar with the scoring sheet. Echo image section is less mature.
I may be missing it but I think this site would benefit from a user feedback for each EKG, for example one of your MAT EKG explanations has a patient meeting LVH criteria by S wave in V3 but answer reads S wave is lead III. Little typos that I think the user can provide direct feedback on so the website is better.
O’Keefe ECG has been a great resource for me throughout my training. It does a wonderful job of testing residents’ and fellows’ knowledge of interpreting ECGs using real-life patient examples for a more realistic immersion, complemented by clear and concise explanations. This website is an invaluable resource for all residents. Thank you, Dr. O’Keefe!

Great resource for the cardiology boards with extensive explanations, a variety of examples, and a user-friendly interface. Thank you, Dr. O’keefe!
