Why am I unable to log-in?
There are three possible issues: (1) Logging-in to ACEP-EMedHome.com content requires an active subscription and current ACEP membership. 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.
Why am I unable to retrieve my password?
If you are not receiving your password via 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.
Why am I unable to view the Video Lectures?
The On-Line lectures are shown in flash format. Macromedia flash player is required to view the lectures. The majority of web browsers come with macromedia flash installed. However, if you need the flash viewer, simply
click here to download it for free.
Also please note that several "internet security"-type programs (e.g. Norton Security) and some firewalls will prevent downloading of the lecture as they interpret this as an intrusion on your PC. In order to view a lecture, you will need to either disable the security program or allow access by ACEP-EMedHome.com
Why am I unable to view the PDF files on ACEP-EMedHome.com?
Several sections of ACEP-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.
I have subscribed to the Question of the Day, but I do not receive it. Why?
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.
