The ABEM examination is the only U.S. exam certifying physicians in EDX medicine, with more than 3,500 physicians currently certified. ABEM promotes high quality patient care by overseeing a certification process that requires physicians to obtain specific academic training and clinical experience, then demonstrate competency in the EDX evaluation of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems by passing a comprehensive written and oral examination.

5. ABEM certification is required to become a fellow of the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
