Reciprocal Credit
Make things easier on yourself, some MyEMCert modules and even other ABMS board certificates could count for more than one of your continuing certification requirements!
Reciprocal Credit for Modules
Part of your ABEM continuing certification requirements are passing 4 MyEMCert modules every 5 years. ABEM EM and select ABEM subspecialty requirements can both be met with specific MyEMCert modules.Â
Primary Continuing Certification Program Criteria
To participate in reciprocal credits, you:
- Must meet all the requirements of your primary continuing certification program, including LLSA and IMP activities.
- Can’t count activities completed within another ABMS certification program to fulfill your primary programs’ requirements.
- Must hold a medical license that meets ABEM’s Policy on Medical Licensure.
- Must renew each ABEM certification, which includes passing 4 MyEMCert Modules every five years.
Each ABMS Member Board decides which continuing certification activities will count toward credit. ABEM verifies the completion of activities and requirements within an ABEM continuing certification process when requested.
