The third step for ABEM certification is the Oral Certification Examination. ABEM guarantees an assignment to the Oral Certification Examination the year after a physician passes the Qualifying Examination. The oral exam is a standardized test of Emergency Medicine knowledge, using scenarios based on actual clinical cases. The Oral Exam measures skills that cannot be tested on a multiple choice exam. It's important that ABEM-certified physicians can clearly communicate with patients and their families, organize information about patients, and make good choices for patient management.
