The Continuous Certification Examination (ConCert Exam)

The Continuous Certification Examination ( ConCert Exam ), formerly known as the recertification exam is given to board certified emergency physicians every 10 years in order to maintain their certification. According to ABEM , “the llsa concert exam is focused on assessing the knowledge needed for clinical practice”.
In developing the EMCC program, ABEM created a strong link between the LLSA component and the ConCert exam ( LLSA ConCert Exam ), basing up to 40% of the exam content on prior years’ LLSA readings. ABEM’s intent was to increase the value of EMCC to ABEM diplomates. Some diplomates, however, have expressed concern that they would be responsible for knowing the content of up to 200 specific articles when taking the ConCert exam.
Beginning in 2007, LLSA ConCert exams be developed without a necessary reliance on the identified readings.
