Pediatric board certification

Medical specialty certification in the United States is a voluntary process which serves multiple purposes for the trainee and the public. Our training program aims to produce trainees who meet board eligibility criteria.

Certification:

  • Distinguishes a physician as someone with a distinct level of expertise
  • Provides more opportunities when applying for employment
  • Presents resources and tools by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS)
  • Promotes a commitment to lifelong improvement for providing the best patient care
  • Elevates physicians into the ranks of doctors committed to the highest standards of healthcare

For more information visit the American Board of Pediatrics for specifics on board certification requirements.
