Regain Certification
If you have lost your ABEM certification, there are opportunities to regain it. Your path to becoming certified again depends on how long ago you lost certification and the incomplete continuing certification requirements that led to losing it. Choose the scenario below that best describes your situation to see what it would take to regain certificiation.
Your certification expired five or fewer years ago
AND
you have completed at least four LLSA tests or two MyEMCert modules.
To regain certification, you must:
- Complete all missing requirements before the end of the fifth year after your certification expired
Your certification expired more than five years ago
OR
you have completed fewer than four LLSA tests or two MyEMCert modules.
- Apply for certification in your ABEM Portal (Applications are accepted year-round. Application fee: $220)
- Once signed in, click on “Certification” and select the Regaining option.
- Pass four MyEMCert modules
- Pass the Oral Examination
Your certification was revoked due to noncompliance with the Policy on Medical Licensure.
- Have each of your medical licenses meet the Policy on Medical Licensure
- Fulfill the requirements determined by the number of years since your certification expired and the number of missing LLSA tests or MyEMCert modules (as listed above)
Please refer to the Policy on Regaining Certification for additional details.
When you regain certification, you will automatically be designated as clinically active, which you can reset to clinically inactive by contacting ABEM.
