About
Setting standards and leading innovation for the practice of anesthesiology since 1938
In 2013, the ABMS Board of Directors approved joint sponsorship between the ABA and the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) of certification in Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine (ACCM). Emergency physicians can now apply for ACGME-accredited ACCM fellowship training after their Emergency Medicine residency training. When they have completed a 24-month ABA-approved CCM fellowship, they can seek board certification.
Programs looking to offer a two-year fellowship must receive prospective approval from the ABA before any trainees accepted into the two-year ACCM fellowship can qualify for certification under the training pathway.
