Module Sections
Each module consists of up to 50 multiple choice questions and have the following sections:
- Core Questions
Includes approximately 30 multiple choice questions. Choose the best or most correct answer for each question.
- Core Question Sets
There are approximately 3 question sets (presentation scenarios). Each presentation scenario contains two or more related questions. Choose the best or most correct answer for each question.
- Key Advances
Includes approximately 15 multiple choice questions. Each question is related to a Key Advance synopsis provided by ABEM. Choose the best or most correct answer for each question.
70% of the questions will be related to the specific module topic within the core questions and question sets, and 30% related to key advances in the specialty. Key Advances will not necessarily share the same topic as the module.
Some questions have accompanying stimulus materials, such as lab results or ECGs, labeled in the module as “Supplemental Materials."

MyEMCert Module Topics
The presentation-based modules are grouped by content. Topics focus on clinical scenarios based on patient presentation. ABEM-certified physicians are required to pass 4 modules over a 5-year period. As an open-book assessment, study requirements should be minimal, but if you do not feel ready, you may wish to study the topic and review the resources provided before beginning a module.
