Consensus Conference
Competency-Based Training and Certification: The Future of Emergency Medicine Education
Friday, May 16, 2025 | 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Depending on the source, 45-65% of program directors report graduating a resident each year whom they would not trust to care for their family members. Despite this, many of these residents pass their board examinations and become practicing emergency physicians in our communities and academic healthcare settings. This situation can lead to poor patient outcomes and unmet societal needs. To address this issue, the global medical education community has increasingly adopted competency-based medical education (CBME). In support of this initiative, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are collaborating to promote the national adoption of CBME for residency training and board certification.
The SAEM25 Consensus Conference brings together hundreds of key stakeholders to develop a comprehensive research agenda aimed at advancing the study and implementation of CBME across the diverse specialty of Emergency Medicine. This effort is expected to lead to high-quality, funded research and improved patient care and educational outcomes. The conference will focus on evidence-based strategies and tactics specifically targeting CBME. The outcomes of the conference will be submitted for publication in high-impact journals and widely disseminated through SAEM’s national communication channels.
