Board Certification: in what specialty and what board?



Your physician or surgeon should always be Board Certified. More specifically, he/she should be Board Certified in a specialty recognized by the 'American Board of Medical Specialites', the ABMS. There are a number of 'specialities' operating in the world of medicine who create their own 'board certification' in 'specialties' that are NOT recognized by the ABMS. There is a *BIG difference* and in general , the public is not aware of the difference.

Specialties that are officially recognized by the ABMS have comprehensive residency programs with very strict criteria. Strong residency programs ensure that your physician is prepared to deal with complications, should they arise. Check the www.abms.org web site to find out if your doctor's specialty is listed !!!
