About This Course

The recertification process for emergency physicians gets more demanding every year, particularly with all the increased attention to evidence-based medicine (EBM). With EBM in mind, the ABEM chooses up to 20 Lifelong Learning and Self Assessment (LLSA) articles each year for you to review. By imposing annual testing requirements for these articles, the ABEM hopes to ensure that you are up-to-date on the standard of care for all major clinical categories in your practice environment. To help you stay up-to-date with the changes in the testing requirements for emergency physicians, Challenger Corporation has developed Challenger Fundamentals: LLSA 2007. Whether you agree with ABEM or not about this new knowledge requirement, you are still required to pass a test on it. That's where we come in!
