Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians certified in Medical Toxicology are not required to maintain their EM certification, but must meet all requirements of the Medical Toxicology continuing certification process to maintain valid certification. This includes passing the Medical Toxicology Cognitive Expertise Examination. Physicians whose Medical Toxicology certification is through a different ABMS Member Board should contact their home board for details on maintaining certification.
Physicians certified in Medical Toxicology have an ABEM Personal Page, a secure portal used to perform tasks related to the Medical Toxicology continuing certification process.
