Today, 9/27/10, the American Board of Medical Specialties officially recognized EMS as a separate sub-specialty of Emergency Medicine. This accomplishment is not to be understated as it has been in process for over 20 years, and is an incredibly important step toward decreasing unnecessary variation within physician EMS training and practice. The board certification will undoubtedly improve and expand research, quality, and efficacy in all aspects of the pre-hospital environment. Congratulations to the National Association of EMS Physicians, the American Board of Emergency Medicine, the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine! Way to go!
