The Initiative
Teaching hospitals and medical schools that offer emergency medicine fellowships can receive recognition through the American Academy of Emergency Physicians (AAEP) Emergency Medicine Fellowship Recognition Program. The AAEP’s program provides recognition to specific fellowships that have achieved a level of training for physicians to demonstrate competency and mastery of the specialty.
Fostering Excellence
Completion of an approved fellowship is one of the criteria physicians must satisfy in order to apply for board certification with the BCEM, which is a Member Board of the American Board of Physician Specialties® (ABPS), a recognized choice for physician board certification. When graduate fellows earn BCEM certification, they become recognized as qualified emergency medicine physicians, positioning themselves as leaders in the healthcare community and broadening their opportunities for career advancement.
