The American Academy of Emergency Medicine firmly opposes misleading advertising of professional expertise in Emergency Medicine by physicians who are not board certified. Therefore, physicians practicing in the United States may not advertise that they are board certified in Emergency Medicine unless (1) the board is approved by the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), or (2) the board is approved by the American Osteopathic Board of Emergency Medicine (AOBEM) or (3) the board is approved by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
