The Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) is a scientific and educational organization headquartered in Irving, Texas.[1]
It was formed to represent residency program directors and their assistants after emergency medicine became a primary board specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).[2] The organization was originally "Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine", and its name was changed to its present form in 2018.[3]
CORD "provides resources, develops best practices for emergency medicine training programs, and offers professional development for leaders in emergency medicine education through the CORD Community."[4]
