The ABEM is organized and operated as a committee of the AAEM for administrative purposes, but is self-perpetuating and autonomous for purposes of credentialing criteria and procedures. Eligibility requirements for taking the ABEM examination are available from the ABEM Executive office. Fellows with time-limited certificates must be recertified prior to expiration of the certificate or within 2 years after expiration of the certificate to continue as a Fellow. Fellow members have the right to vote. Active members with time-limited certificates must be recertified prior to expiration of the certificate to continue as an Active Member.
Active members have the right to vote.
Junior Membership is open to physicians with an MD, DO, or foreign equivalent degree, who are interested in disorders of muscle and nerve, and who are in an approved residency program or fellowship. Emeritus Members shall be former Fellow, Active, Associate, or Overseas Members who, upon request to the Executive Office, may be transferred to this category at the time of retirement from practice or upon reaching the age of 65.
