ABEM values the Oral Exam as part of the process to become ABEM certified and has invested in pivoting our delivery to meet physician needs. We recognize the frustration that Emergency Medicine physicians are experiencing due to COVID-19. Please know we are focused on providing all eligible physicians the opportunity to become certified as soon as possible.
The ABEM Board is committed to providing the opportunity to take the Oral Certification Exam in 2021 to all who were affected by the postponed exams in 2020.
