I have a question about EM training/certification eligibility requirements. My back ground is in internal medicine(not board eligible) and Occupational Medicine(Board Eligible). I have practiced in an urgent care setting for 3 yrs and currently also rotating through EM as a part of training requirements for Occupational Medicine.

1-I really liked EM and wish to pursue it further, If I go through ABPS program instead of traditional ABMS program, would any of my previous training be credited towards  training in EM fellowship program through ABPS? 

2-Can someone  please also guide me further as what are the accredited programs and what are the eligibility requirements to enroll in an EM fellowship there and how many years of further training will be required for me to become eligible to take ER boards through ABPS?

Thank You,
Asim
