Meeting the ConCert Exam LLSA Requirements

Part II of your ABEM MOC requirements is Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment, or LLSA.

To complete it, you must:

Pass four LLSA tests in years 1 through 5 of your certification and four Emergency Medicine ConCert review in years 6 through 10 of your certification, and report 25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ per year, eight of which must be "self assessment,” averaged over each five-year period. The Patient Safety LLSA is required for all diplomates whose certificates expire in 2017 and will replace one of the eight self-assessment requirements.

All CME must be related to your practice. Types of CME that are considered to be equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ include AAFP Prescribed Credit, ACOG Cognates, and AOA Category 1-A Credits. Examples of self-assessment and ABEM Recertification activities are:
  • Activities that have a testing component, particularly a post-test
  • Activities that are simulation-based, during which feedback is provided
  • The LLSA Concert Exam CME activities
  • Activities that use external assessment methods and standards
  • CME activities involving patient and peer review
  • Practice Improvement Modules (PIMs), Self-Assessment Modules (SAMs), and similarly designed CME activities that are offered by other medical specialty boards

Your deadlines for completing these requirements depend on your certification expiration date.To check your own certification status and requirements, visit the ABEM website and log on to ABEM MOC Online.
