American Board of Emergency Medicine

The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) is one of 24 medical specialty certification boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. ABEM is a physician-led, non-profit independent organization that certifies residency trained emergency medicine physicians who pass both written and certifying examinations and maintain their certification on a five year cycle. It was originally funded by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) in 1968 and received specialty board approval in 1979 to become the 23rd medical specialty.
