What is EMCC ?

The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) has instituted its Emergency Medicine Continuous Certification (EMCC). There are special requirements for emergency medicine. The CME -like component of the EMCC is based on the LLSA - Lifelong Learning Self-Assessment. This is a list of 20 articles with multiple-choice questions. The LLSA reading list and LLSA test can be accessed through the ABEM website. Diplomates, and former diplomates attempting to regain certification, participate in the EMCC program. The four components of EMCC are Professional Standing, Lifelong Learning and Self Assessment (LLSA), Assessment of Cognitive Expertise (ConCert), and Assessment of Practice Performance. The ConCert examination is the examination that renews certification for a period of ten years. It is administered annually in Pearson VUE testing centers.
