About this exam
The American Board of Emergency Medicine Clinical Informatics Certification Examination is for emergency physicians pursuing formal recognition of expertise in clinical informatics. It focuses on applying information science and technology to improve patient care, clinical operations, and health system decision-making—not simply on knowing how to use a particular electronic health record. Candidates should confirm the current eligibility pathway with the board administering the examination; requirements may involve primary board certification and specified informatics training or experience.
Preparation calls for both broad informatics knowledge and an understanding of how technology works in emergency care. Review clinical informatics foundations, emergency department workflows and EHR configuration, health IT requirements and system design, and EHR data models, databases, and data quality. The exact examination format, content outline, and policies can change by cycle, so use the current official candidate materials as your source of truth. Applying concepts to realistic workflow and data problems is more useful than memorizing software features.
How to prepare for the clinical informatics certification examination
- Start with the current official examination blueprint and candidate bulletin. Map each listed domain to your study plan, and confirm the eligibility route, format, and policies for the 2027–2028 cycle with the certifying board.
- Review emergency medicine applications in depth: trace an emergency department workflow, consider how EHR configuration affects safety and efficiency, and practice translating clinical needs into health IT requirements and system designs.
- Strengthen your data literacy by reviewing EHR data models, databases, data quality, and the limits of clinical data. Use timed question sets to identify weak areas, then read explanations and revisit the underlying concepts rather than memorizing answers.
FAQ

The current candidate bulletin or examination blueprint is the authoritative source for question type, timing, delivery, and any content sections. Check those materials for the 2027–2028 cycle, as examination policies and format details can change.
What subjects should I study for clinical informatics certification?
Review clinical informatics foundations, emergency department clinical workflows and EHR configuration, health IT requirements and system design, and EHR data models, databases, and data quality. Use the official content outline to guide priorities and connect each topic to patient care and operational decisions.
