Board of Certification in Emergency Medicine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Board of Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM) can be achieved through the American Board of Physician Specialties, and is the second-largest organization offering board certification in the medical specialty of emergency medicine in the United States.

BCEM allows physicians who were not initially residency-trained in emergency medicine, but that have completed a residency in other fields (internists, family practitioners, pediatricians, general surgeons, and anesthesiologists), to become board-certified in emergency medicine. BCEM requires five years of full-time emergency medicine experience or completion of an approved fellowship, preparation of case reports for review by the board, and passing both written and oral examinations before allowing a candidate to become board-certified in emergency medicine.[1] Recertification is required every 8 years. BCEM is a member of the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) - an organization that allows both M.D.s and D.O.s to become members.
