What It Means to Be Board Certified
Board certification has both public and professional implications. The primary purpose of board certification of medical specialists is to assure the public of physician knowledge and skill. In organizations where physicians work-hospitals are the prime example-board certification is important in placing physicians in an appropriate professional environment. Among colleagues, board certification has implications of professional quality and standing.
The requirements for board certification are rigorous, and they are applied by all medical boards:
- Holding a Medical Degree ;
- Completion of required training in an accredited residency program designed to train physicians in the given specialty ;
- Rating of performance by residency training directors or hospital chief-of-service where the specialist practiced his/her specialty ;
- Holding an unrestricted license from a state licensing board to practice medicine ;
- Passing the written examination given by the specialty board .
In America physicians who meet all of these requirements are certified as specialists and have the status of "Diplomate" in their given specialty. The Diplomate status is meant to assure the public that the physician is indeed a specialist with requisite knowledge and experience. Read More ...
