ABMS Member Boards
The 24 certifying boards or Member Boards of ABMS were founded by their respective specialties to assess and certify physicians and medical specialists who demonstrate the clinical judgment, skills, and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent patient care.
Meet the ABMS Member Boards
Each ABMS medical specialty board is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization whose accountability is both to the profession and to the public. These are not membership societies, but the boards’ governing bodies include representatives from among the national specialty organizations in related fields.
