Frequently Asked Questions

EMedHome.com is a privately held entity that was created by a practicing Emergency Physician, Rick Nunez, MD. EMedHome.com is not owned in whole or in part by any outside agency or commercial firm. Although EMedHome.com works with several Emergency Medicine organizations and Residency Programs to provide accurate, relevant clinical content, no such organization has controlling input or a formal affiliation with the website. You can be sure that there are no hidden commercial or political influences in our content.

EMedHome.com is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. EMedHome currently holds accreditation with commendation by the ACCME.

A subscription to EMedHome.com includes CME credit from the hundreds of Online EM Video Lectures, the monthly EMCast, and the CME In Focus lectures.  You can easily earn well over 100 CME credits annually.

There are three possible issues: (1) Logging-in to EMedHome.com content requires a subscription. If you have an active subscription and you are still unable to log-in, it means that you are using an incorrect email address/password combination. The email address is the one you entered into the website database. If you have changed email addresses and not updated your profile, then you must use your old email address. If you do not recall the email address used for your CME account registration or you have forgotten your password, feel free to use the "contact us" link on top of this page and we will respond within one business day. (2) In addition, the log-in function requires that your computer has cookies enabled. If your settings prevent the use of cookies, then you will have difficulty logging-in. (3) Finally, if your computer is behind a firewall (e.g., a PC in the ED as part of a hospital network), then the firewall settings may be preventing you from logging-in. Try another PC (e.g. one at home) to see if you can successfully log-in.

If you are not receiving your password with the automated password retrieval function, it likely means that you are not entering the email address that we have on file for you. The email address to which your password is sent is the one that you entered into the website database. If you have changed email addresses and not updated your profile, then you must use your old email address. If you do not recall the email address used for your CME account, feel free to use the "contact us" link on top of this page and we will respond within one business day.  It is also possible that your ISP is blocking the automated password retrieval email because it is identifying it as spam. 

Several sections of EMedHome.com contain files in PDF format, including the PDF database section and the LLSA CME Program. Adobe reader version 6.0 or later is required to properly view these files. If you do not have a recent version of adobe reader installed on your computer, you may download it for free simply by clicking here.

The Question of the Day is sent to the email address that has been entered into our database. Please go to the "Edit Account" link of the "Manage Account" section to make sure the proper email address is entered. If the proper email address is entered, then the Question of the Day is being sent each morning, but a spam filter is preventing you from getting it. This can happen because your (1) ISP determines that the Question of the Day is spam, and blocks it from reaching you (2) you have a spam filter that requires a manual response to allow it to pass through, which will not occur because the Question of the Day function is an automated program or (3) the settings on your email program are such that the Question of the Day is blocked.

 EMedHome is accredited by the ACCME. According to the AOA website (http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/development/continuing-medical-education/Pages/2010-2012-cme-requirements.aspx), ACCME-accredited CME activities are equivalent to Category 2-A AOA credit.

 To obtain a receipt of purchase, simply log in and go to the manage account section. 

There are several possibilities:

1.  It is possible that you have yet to select your CME option.  The first time you log in to the LLSA program, you will be asked if you want to complete the program via the LLSA certificate method or via our self-assessment CME exam.  If you have yet to select this option, then our server cannot record the LLSA certificate of completion from the ABEM site.  To remedy this, just log in to the LLSA CME program in question.

2.  You may have selected the option to complete the LLSA CME program via our self-assessment exam, not via the LLSA certificate method.  Log in to the LLSA edition in question and read the text at the top which will explain which option you selected.

3. Did you return to complete the brief exit survey which is the last step of the CME activity?  Upon receipt of the LLSA certificate, you should have received an automated email inviting you to return to the LLSA section to complete the brief exit survey.  If you did not receive it or if it ended up in your spam folder, please add EMedHome.com to your safe sender list.

4.  It is possible the ABEM site did not function properly and the LLSA certificate was not sent.  Feel free to simply send it over as an email attachment.

 

For those participants that have opted to complete the program via completion of the self assessment CME exam, the link to the exit survey appears in the LLSA section when all of the modules of the self assessment exam have been completed. For those participants that have opted to complete the program via the LLSA certificate method, the link to the exit survey appears upon receipt of your LLSA certificate. If the link is not evident, then we have not received and recorded your LLSA certificate.

Our LLSA CME Program makes it easy to prepare for and pass the annual LLSA exam, and earn CME credit for the effort.  However, you still need to pass the LLSA exam on the ABEM exam to maintain board certification.  When you do go to take the LLSA exam on the ABEM website, we recommend keeping a second browser window open that contains our PDF outlines of the articles so you can easily find the answer to the exam questions.

Yes, we do offer instituional subscriptions for the Premier ECG Workshop.  An institutional subscription allows multiple users to access the course and download the content, even simultaneously.  Howver, CME credit is not included.  Please use the "contact form" at the top of this page for further details.

The NRCME Registry ID number is obtained directly from the FMCSA after you complete this course.  Please review the intro module and the PDF file "Your Guide To Certification" for instructions.

This is the same as the NRCME Registry ID number.

You can find the CME certificate of completion in the CME tracker section.  If it is not there, then you have yet to complete the course in its entirety.
