ABEM On Shift

MyEMCert integrates emerging concepts with patient care. Due to the dynamic nature of research and adoption of advances into clinical practice, some of the key advances will become the standard of care and others will be replaced or modified as more information accumulates.

The information in the Key Advance synopses cannot replace physician judgment, cannot describe every possible clinical variation, and cannot be construed to be inflexible standards. Every medical encounter must integrate a physician’s clinical judgment. The treatments, procedures, and medical conditions described in MyEMCert do not constitute any representation of a de facto standard of care.

In choosing a specific topic, clinical policy, or citing an article, ABEM is not endorsing the authors or findings; rather it is purely an attempt to advance knowledge translation in the specialty of Emergency Medicine. This lack of endorsement is especially true for medical blogs or Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) websites that ABEM adds for additional reading. Those sites frequently include non-peer reviewed narratives and opinions. Articles, research, and blogs may present controversial or divergent opinions.
