ABEM

Unlike standard continuing medical education programs, there are special requirements for emergency medicine. The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) has instituted its Emergency Medicine Continuous Certification (EMCC). A list of 16 to 20 readings based on the EM Model will be posted on the ABEM each year. The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) was established LLSA in 1988 as an independent, non-profit organization to LLSA certify the competency of physicians who practice the discipline of Emergency Medicine.

LLSA

The primary goal of LLSA is to promote continuous learning by diplomates. ABEM facilitates this learning by identifying an annual set of LLSA readings to guide diplomates in self-study of recent EM literature. LLSA tests consisting of 32-40 items will be developed based on the annual readings. A new LLSA test will be posted on the ABEM website in April of each year. Each LLSA test will remain online for three years. LLSA Study Guides - Pre-order your 2007 LLSA Study Guide and save $50 off the regular price of the Study guide.
