The ABPS Online Career Center
If you are seeking to recruit a highly qualified emergency medicine practitioner, then you will be pleased to know that advertising the position through our online Career Center and the ABPS Career Bulletin is an effective way of bringing the vacancy to the attention of some of the most talented EM doctors in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The Board of Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM) provides a meaningful way for qualified physicians to demonstrate their proficiency at providing emergency care.
Board of Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM)
Since 1989, the BCEM has fulfilled the certification and recertification needs of emergency department physicians who wish to formally demonstrate their mastery of the specialty. To be eligible, a candidate must have completed an accredited residency in emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatric medicine, or general surgery. Alternatively, a primary care-trained physician who wishes to become a BCEM Diplomate must have either practiced emergency medicine on a full-time basis for at least five years (7,000 hours) or have completed a BCEM-approved emergency medicine graduate training program. All candidates, regardless of training, must submit documentation detailing their case experience. Complete eligibility requirements can be found here.
Candidates for BCEM certification must pass both a written and an oral examination. The written exam is computer-based and includes 325 multiple-choice questions. Candidates must pass the written exam before they can take the oral exam. Once obtained, BCEM certification is valid for eight years, expiring on December 31 of the eighth year.
ABPS Code of Ethics
The ABPS is proud to partner with medical recruiters who recognize the prestige that is associated with being board certified through one of our Member Boards. All ABPS Diplomates are required to uphold that most rigorous of standards, and to take a pledge to adhere to the ABPS Code of Ethics. Oversight of our organization is governed by the AAPS board of directors, which helps ensure that testing standards and eligibility requirements are as rigorous as any physician board certifying body in the world.
A Practical Approach to Certification That Advances Medical Care
The ABPS adopts a practical approach to board certification, enabling physicians to advance personally and professionally while addressing the increasing demands for comprehensive patient care. Since certifying its first physician in 1960, the ABPS has certified and recertified physicians across a broad spectrum of specialties.
ABPS physicians, who are recognized as thought leaders in their fields, practice in all 50 states, as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico, enhancing the prestige of both large and small medical institutions. As part of a prestigious community dedicated to world-class medical care, ABPS physicians ensure that patients receive the highest quality of care.
At the ABPS, our message to physician recruiters is clear: Including Diplomates of the ABPS guarantees access to the most qualified pool of candidates, so educate your CEOs about the ABPS and our various Member Boards.
