Emergency Medicine | MyEMCert
We’ve introduced a new way to stay certified, designed with the uniqueness of Emergency Medicine in mind, and informed by the preferences of ABEM-certified physicians.
Core elements of MyEMCert include:
- Topic-specific modules that incorporate the “bread and butter” issues of Emergency Medicine
- Open-book modules that can be completed anywhere, anytime
- Immediate feedback providing scores, correct answers, and rationales
- Content that keeps you informed about key advances in the specialty
How to prepare for your modules
As an open-book assessment, study requirements should be minimal, but we recommend reviewing the materials that go with the module you plan on taking before getting started.

Each MyEMCert module will also include a section of questions based on Key Advances in the practice of Emergency Medicine. Key Advances are not related to the module topic. Review them ahead of time and have them on hand when you get to that section.
If you have questions, we have FAQs and tutorial videos.
If Your Module Attempt is Unsuccessful
Do not delay taking modules! It’s in your best interest to take them as soon as possible, just in case you need to wait for a new version to become available.

You can view your individual requirements by signing in to your MyABEM portal. In general, staying certified in EM requires:
