The American College of Emergency Physicians is pleased to announce a historic collaboration involving nearly every major emergency medicine organization: The Coalition to Oppose Medical Merit Badges. Coalition members include the following organizations:<\/p>\n
American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM)
\nAmerican Academy of Emergency Medicine\/Resident and Student Association (AAEM\/RSA)
\nAmerican Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM)
\nAmerican College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)
\nAssociation of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine (AACEM)
\nCouncil of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD)
\nEmergency Medicine Residents\u2019 Association (EMRA)
\nSociety for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM)<\/p>\n
Board-certified emergency physicians who actively maintain their board certification should not be required to complete short-course certification in advanced resuscitation, trauma care, stroke care, cardiovascular care, or pediatric care in order to obtain or maintain medical staff privileges to work in an emergency department. Similarly, mandatory targeted continuing medical education (CME) requirements do not offer any meaningful value for the public or for the emergency physician who has achieved and maintained board certification. Such requirements are often promulgated by others who incompletely understand the foundation of knowledge and skills acquired by successfully completing an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education\u2013accredited emergency medicine residency program. These \u201cmerit badges\u201d add no additional value for board-certified emergency physicians. Instead, they devalue the board certification process, failing to recognize the rigor of the ABEM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. In essence, medical merit badges set a lower bar than a diplomate\u2019s education, training, and ongoing learning, as measured by initial board certification and maintenance of certification.<\/p>\n
The Coalition finds no rational justification to require medical merit badges for board-certified emergency physicians who maintain their board certification. Our committed professional organizations provide the best opportunities for continuous professional development, and medical merit badges dismiss the quality of those educational efforts.<\/p>\n
Opposing the requirements for medical merit badges will be a long and challenging struggle. It will take time to help administrators and regulatory bodies to better understand the rigorous standards to which we adhere as board-certified emergency physicians. In the coming months, we will develop our long-term strategy to create success and a pathway to recognize clinical excellence.<\/p>\n
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions as to how we can best succeed. In the near future, we will ask for strong support and a loud and unified voice.<\/p>\n
We will persist and we are up to the challenge\u2014we are board-certified emergency physicians. Opposing medical merit badges is the right thing to do for our specialty. We will forever demonstrate a lifelong commitment to caring for anyone who is ill or injured, at any time, for any reason.<\/p>\n
