Getting Board Certified

Obtaining Board Certification in your field represents a major commitment to the overall professional status of your specialty as well as makes a statement as to your capabilities. Thus, Board Certification is an added badge of accomplishment that, as a Physician, can be worn on a sleeve with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Further, it strengthens the framework within which your specialty functions, as well as establishes those with such credentials as members of an "elite club".

Board Certification means that you have made a commitment to maintain and improve the quality of medical care by taking the necessary steps to insure that you meet or exceed the professional and educational standards for the evaluation and certification in your specialty. The intent of the certification of physicians is to provide assurance that a specialist certified by a Board has successfully completed an approved educational program and evaluation process which includes an examination designed to assess the knowledge, skills, and experience required to provide quality patient care in that specialty.
