Make a difference in the specialty of Emergency Medicine by getting involved with ABEM.
ABEM volunteers include oral examiners, item writers, subspecialty representatives, and participants in special projects, such as standard-setting studies.
The Board reviews nomination materials and appoints new examiners and item writers at its summer Board meeting each year, usually held in July. Nomination materials must be complete and submitted to the ABEM office by May 1 in order to be presented to the Board in July of the same year.
The number of new volunteers appointed varies each year based on the needs of ABEM’s oral and written exams. Nominees are notified of the results in writing following the summer Board meeting.
