PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EBEEM PART A EXAM DIET WILL BE A REMOTE EXAM (FROM YOUR HOME)
The European Board Examination of Emergency Medicine (EBEEM) will provide evidence that a successful candidate has demonstrated in a summative assessment that they are able to function as an independent emergency practitioner in any country in Europe.
An emergency department sees unselected patients of all ages with a wide range of conditions, a proportion of whom are admitted to the hospital. In order to provide the appropriate experience, we would advise that candidates work in an ED which sees around 30,000 new patients per year, but in smaller departments and if case mix is appropriate, this number may be less but still provide appropriate experience. Applicants are expected to evaluate their experience against the European Emergency Medicine curriculum, and determine their preparedness to take the exam. Demonstration of competence does depend on having had appropriate experience, and experiential learning is key to acquiring clinical skills.
Demonstration of eligibility for the examination depends on providing evidence of experience and training in emergency medicine. If a formal training programme is not available in the country of practice, evidence of personal development activity in matters relating to emergency medicine and evidence of competence in all aspects of the European EM curriculum should be provided. In particular you should ensure you have had experience of acute medical and major traumatic presentations in all age groups and including mental health and children’s presentations.
