About this exam
The Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) Written Test is a knowledge assessment within the U.S. Army’s demanding EFMB qualification. It is intended for eligible Army medical personnel seeking to demonstrate medical readiness and competence in field conditions; it is not a standalone civilian certification or general medical licensing exam. Candidates should view it as one part of the badge’s broader evaluation, with current eligibility and event requirements set by official EFMB guidance and local announcements.
Review field medical subjects such as casualty assessment and triage, hemorrhage control and wound packing, airway management, respiratory support, and recognition and treatment of shock. The written test is one component of a broader qualification that also evaluates practical field skills, so memorizing isolated facts may not be enough: be ready to apply procedures to realistic casualty scenarios. Test details and references can change by cycle, so use the current EFMB handbook and your testing authority’s instructions to confirm what to study.
How to prepare for the EFMB Written Test
- Build a topic checklist from the current EFMB handbook and review the references it identifies, including applicable Army medical guidance and current tactical casualty care material.
- Practice applying assessment, triage, hemorrhage-control, airway, and shock-management principles to short casualty scenarios; explain why each action is appropriate, not just what the step is.
- Use timed question practice to identify weak areas, then revisit the relevant source material and review missed questions for gaps in reasoning or terminology.
