The Okeefeecg.com is an outstanding learning tool. It has a variety of cases and provides background information from basic to advanced EKG concepts. The available resources are extremely helpful not only for cardiology fellows but also for Internal medicine residents.
I had the privilege to directly work on EKGs with Dr. O’Keefe, one of the best cardiologists and most humble person I have ever seen. I learned enormously by both working on this online tool and being with him, clarifying my doubts. I felt great to make a minuscule contribution on a few of the EKGs after learning from the tool itself.
I strongly believe that the appropriate practice of this online tool would make any novice decipher any ECG and become an expert in EKG interpretation.
Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant cardiology fellow from Baylor University Medical Center and will be pursuing Interventional cardiology at Boston University this July onwards.
I attended your ECG talks on zoom last year when I was preparing for Cardiology boards. You also answered my queries prior to exam via email. I passed my boards.
Yours talks and the ECG website is outstanding and is a great reference for all the cardiologists. It is a great resource for practice prior to ABIM Boards.
O’Keefe ECG is an excellent educational tool. It provides more background information on ECGs and teaching than other web-based ECG tools that I tried during my cardiology fellowship, and more ECGs to test yourself with. It would be beneficial for just about any stage of learning, from third or fourth year medical students interested in cardiology all the way up to fellows studying for general cardiology boards (which is what I used it for). The interface is easy to use and allows for hands on practice with the score sheet that is used on general cardiology boards. I would definitely recommend it!
Dr. O’Keefe’s ECG website was extremely helpful in my preparation for the ECG section of my general cardiology boards. The interface is simple, very intuitive to navigate with a systematic explanation of all main and supporting diagnoses codes. After completion of all the ECGs, I felt very confident and comfortable about acing the ECG section for the boards. I believe this website will also be very helpful for everyone from residents to fellows and even faculty for daily clinical practice. I highly recommend this ECG course.
I have used Dr.O’keefe’s ECG book to prepare for my cardiology boards in 2007. As a general cardiologist and forever student, I found the online version to be very helpful in identifying and correcting gaps in my knowledge. The ECGs are carefully curated not only to help clear the examination but also to provide a foundational learning experience for the cardiovascular practitioner.
Excellent source of high yield ECGs for the boards. User friendly interface and representative of what to expect on test day. Explanations not only guide you as to the correct answer choices, but put it in clinical context. When I used ECGsource, it had some inaccurate information and issues with overcoding that became confusing. This is clear and accurate and a nice supplement to the O’Keefe ECG book.
There are (currently) many online resources to choose from, when deliberating on the most ideal study method for the ECG component of the CV Disease Boards. Dr. O’Keefe’s ECG assessment platform outshines all others – both in the meticulous style by which all ECG criteria are succinctly summarized but (also) by means of the diversity of the cases presented to the viewer. As a trainee, I have found this resource the most ideal for rapid-pace studying and am confident that this will provide me with the greatest potential to excel on the upcoming board examination. I would strongly encourage all CV Disease fellows as well as re-certifying health providers to sample this site.
As a former fellow who have taken the boards, the ECG part is what scared me the most. I have used most resources (ECG source, ECG books etc). O’Keefe ECG is designed to help understand the definitions of ECG criteria, the nuances of coding and common pitfalls, all created in an easy to use interface. This is an excellent resource for cardiology fellows taking the boards or learning how to read ECGs. One of the feature I really liked is the detailed explanation of each of the criteria along with an ECG example of that criteria on the score sheet. Overall, I highly recommend O’Keefe ECG in preparing for the boards!
Okeefeecg.com is an excellent learning tool. It has a variety of case-based ECGs which are not only relevant for the boards, but are also important for clinical practice. The learning platform is very user friendly and helps you gain confidence in coding ECGs for the boards. I strongly recommend it not only for fellows but also for residents and attendings in practice who wish to master the art of interpreting ECGs !
