EMedHome.com is an accredited provider of Continuing Medical Education for Physicians
Starting with the 2006 Edition, use your LLSA exam result in lieu of a CME exam to get your CME certificate! See below for details.
The American Board of Emergency Medicine's Continuous Certification (LLSA) program requires the reading of 18 - 20
designated articles each year. In order to maintain board-certification, Emergency Physicians must complete the annual Lifelong Learning Self-Assessment (LLSA) test on the ABEM website based upon the contents of these articles. A new LLSA test and associated reading list will be developed each year.
The EMedHome.com LLSA CME program is designed to easily help you access the 18 - 20 yearly articles, review and understand the material, and obtain CME credit in recognition of your educational effort - all over the internet, from any computer!
The EMedHome.com LLSA CME program contains:
We have outlined in an easy-to-review format the key concepts and facts from each of the ABEM-designated articles. Simply review the outlines to refresh the content of each article as you prepare for the on-line test and keep the outline handy as you take the LLSA exam. The outlines are in PDF format and located on the website. If you like, download the PDF outlines of all the articles with a single click!
EMedHome.com is an approved provider of continuing medical education by the ACCME. In recognition of the effort required to read the articles, review the outlines, and complete our on-line CME exam you will receive 35 CME category 1 AMA credits. The EMedHome.com LLSA CME program is approved by the American College of Emergency Physicians for 35 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
Take as long as you like to complete the exam - EMedHome.com will remember where you left off. When you are done, obtain your CME certificate immediately on-line. There is no "pass-fail" requirement. If you answer a question incorrectly, you will be prompted with the relevant portion of the article text to allow you to answer it correctly and move on to the next question.
Starting with the 2006 Edition of the LLSA CME Program, you will have two options to obtain your CME certificate: (1) You may complete the self-assessment exam provided as part of the EMedHome.com LLSA CME Program and earn 35 Category 1 AMA/ACEP credits as explained above OR (2) Upon successful completion of the ABEM LLSA exam simply return to EMedHome.com to obtain your CME certificate. You will earn 30 Category 1 AMA/ACEP credits via this method. You do not need to complete the CME self-assessment exam on EMedHome.com to obtain your CME certificate, although you will certainly have access to it to help you prepare.
For the 2005-2007 editions of the LLSA CME Program, EMedHome.com is pleased to make available a set of authorized reprints obtained directly from the publishers of the ABEM-designated articles for shipping directly to you (note: these are authorized reprints, not simply photo-copies). The nominal charge for the complete set is $86, which solely covers our costs of the reprints, associated permissions, and shipping & handling. Starting with the 2008 edition of the LLSA CME Program, we are no longer offering the option to purchase a set of publishers’ hard-copy reprints of the LLSA articles. This is a result of Emergency Physicians’ decreasing interest in purchasing such reprints. Many ED groups obtain copies of the articles and distribute them to members of the group, and all of the articles are now available on the web, often at no cost.
Access the articles on the web: Copyright restrictions prevent EMedHome.com from reproducing the actual articles on our website. However, all of the LLSA articles are available on-line and the EMedHome.com LLSA CME Program provides links to websites where the LLSA articles may be downloaded at no cost (we cannot be responsible for difficulties with links on third party websites).

Pharmaceutical Representative Sponsorship
In response to requests from visitors to EMedHome.com, we invite local pharmaceutical representatives to purchase the EMedHome.com LLSA CME Program on behalf of their local Emergency Physician Groups. This educational activity assists Emergency Physicians in preparation for the annual Lifelong Learning Assessment (LLSA) exam administered by the American Board of Emergency Physicians. This exam is part of the Continuous Certification process necessary for board recertification in Emergency Medicine.
Sponsorship of the EMedHome.com LLSA CME Program is an honorable way to support your local Emergency Physicians and well within the PhRMA guidelines governing interaction between drug industry representatives and healthcare professionals. The cost of the LLSA CME program is $69 per physician, $155 with a set reprints of the 20 articles upon which the annual LLSA exam is based. Upon payment, we will send an email to each physician notifying him/her of enrollment in the LLSA CME program, acknowledging your sponsorship. The email will include the name of your firm and product brand. Simply complete the sponsorship form and return it to EMedHome.com with the appropriate credit card information (instructions on form).
Emergency Physician Sponsorship
Emergency Physicians may opt to have their LLSA CME enrollment sponsored by a local pharmaceutical representative. In light of recent regulatory guidelines restricting gifts to physicians, pharmaceutical reps are looking for honorable ways to sponsor educational opportunities for Emergency Physicians. To have your local rep sponsor your EM group's LLSA CME purchase, simply follow these simple steps:
- Make sure that each Emergency Physician has created an EMedHome.com CME account.
- Download a copy of the sponsor form.
- Complete the form, making sure that the email addresses are accurate, as this serves as your username for the CME log-in and allows us to notify you when your LLSA CME purchase has been completed. Please make sure to include the shipping address if you are ordering a set of the 20 LLSA article reprints. Feel free to review our Privacy Policy if there are any concerns about forwarding your email address to us.
- Hand the completed sponsor form to your local pharmaceutical rep who will then forward it to EMedHome.com with appropriate payment.
