You can be sure that there are no hidden commercial or political influences in our content.

A great deal of our content is available as downloadable media files, podcasts, and subscription RSS feeds. For detailed information, please visit our Help with EMedHome.com Podcasts and RSS Feeds section.

A subscription to EMedHome.com includes access to all of our content and all CME credit, with the exception of the LLSA CME Programs which requires a separate purchase. A subscription to EMedHome.com includes CME credit from the bimonthly feature article series and the On-Line EM Lectures.

There are three possible issues: (1) Logging-in to EMedHome.com content requires a subscription. If you have an active subscription and you are still unable to log-in, it means that you are using an incorrect email address/password combination. The email address is the one you entered into the website database. If you have changed email addresses and not updated your profile, then you must use your old email address. If you do not recall the email address used for your CME account registration or you have forgotten your password, feel free to use the "contact us" link on top of this page and we will respond within one business day. (2) In addition, the log-in function requires that your computer has cookies enabled. If your settings prevent the use of cookies, then you will have difficulty logging-in. (3) Finally, if your computer is behind a firewall (e.g., a PC in the ED as part of a hospital network), then the firewall settings may be preventing you from logging-in. Try another PC (e.g. one at home) to see if you can successfully log-in.

If you are not receiving your password with the automated password retrieval function, it likely means that you are not entering the email address that we have on file for you. The email address to which your password is sent is the one that you entered into the website database. If you have changed email addresses and not updated your profile, then you must use your old email address. If you do not recall the email address used for your CME account, feel free to use the "contact us" link on top of this page and we will respond within one business day.

The On-Line lectures are shown in flash format. Macromedia flash player is required to view the lectures. The majority of web browsers come with macromedia flash installed. However, if you need the flash viewer, simply click here to download it for free.

Also please note that several "internet security"-type programs (e.g. Norton Security) and some firewalls will prevent downloading of the lecture as they interpret this as an intrusion on your PC. In order to view a lecture, you will need to either disable the security program or allow access by EMedHome.com

Several sections of EMedHome.com contain files in PDF format, including the PDF database section and the LLSA CME Program. Adobe reader version 6.0 or later is required to properly view these files. If you do not have a recent version of adobe reader installed on your computer, you may download it for free simply by clicking here.

Not all On-Line EM lectures are available for download due to restrictions requested by the speaker. If a lecture is available for download, you will see the appropriate links on the right-hand side of the individual lecture page enabling you to do so.

EMedHome.com welcomes clinicians to submit interesting images from their practice to be used as the subject of our weekly case or for posting in the Images in EM section. Please make sure that the images are yours (e.g. you took the photos yourself) and are not subject to any copyright restrictions (e.g. not taken from another source). Simply email the images along with a brief description of the case and follow-up to cases@EMedHome.com. We will be happy to list credit your name as the source of the images. If you would prefer to put the images on a CD and mail them to us, our address is EMedHome.com, P.O. Box 195, Hanover, MA, 02339

The Question of the Day is sent to the email address that has been entered into our database. Please go to the "Edit Account" link of the "Manage Account" section to make sure the proper email address is entered.

If the proper email address is entered, then the Question of the Day is being sent each morning, but a spam filter is preventing you from getting it. This can happen because your (1) ISP determines that the Question of the Day is spam, and blocks it from reaching you (2) you have a spam filter that requires a manual response to allow it to pass through, which will not occur because the Question of the Day function is an automated program or (3) the settings on your email program are such that the Question of the Day is blocked.

The "Email Certificate" link may be found upon your return to the ABEM website by logging-in to the EMCC area and going to the https://www.abem.org/emcc/hr/user/learning_history.aspx link. Choose the LLSA by year, and click on "Score Report" to get to the "Email Certificate" link.

If you do not see your CME certificate, then most likely you have not completed the LLSA Article CME activity. Please make sure that you have selected your CME option in the LLSA section - unless you have already done so, your LLSA certificate cannot be recognized by our server and will be deleted.

For those participants that have opted to complete the program via completion of the self assessment CME exam, the link to the exit survey appears in the LLSA section when all of the modules of the self assessment exam have been completed. For those participants that have opted to complete the program via the LLSA certificate method, the link to the exit survey appears upon receipt of your LLSA certificate. If the link is not evident, then we have not received and recorded your LLSA certificate.

If you have chosen to complete the LLSA Article CME program via the LLSA certificate method, have the LLSA certificate forwarded from the ABEM site to CME @ EMedHome.com.
