The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) and the Americam Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) have approved guidelines for a five-year combined training program that, upon completion, will provide graduates the opportunity to seek certification in both Emergency Medicine (EM) and Family Medicine (FM).

It is the position of ABEM and ABFM that combined training in EM/FM is the sole recognized pathway for EM residents to train in FM and the sole recognized pathway for FM residents to train in EM, other than completion of both categorical EM and FM residency programs accredited by the ACGME.
