Professionalism: Why it Matters
In 2021, ABEM adopted a Code of Professionalism because it “believes that patients are entitled to quality emergency care delivered in a professional manner.” The Code goes on to list
specific behaviors as well as issues related to medical licensure. But do those behaviors encompass professionalism? More importantly, why does professionalism matter?

The next time your certification is renewed, you will begin a 5-year certification cycle and transition to an annual fee requirement. The annual fee payment:
- is not an additional fee; it replaces any individual activity fee (LLSA fees, MyEMCert module costs).
- is the only fee you pay after your initial certification exams and covers all the necessary costs for your continuing certification (other than optional CME).
- may be paid annually or in one lump sum.
- avoids any interruption to certification.
A late fee will be assessed for annual fees not paid within the allowed timeframe.
