The American Board of Physician Specialties is a nationally recognized multi-specialty certifying body that offers both allopathic and osteopathic physicians certification in a range of specialties. While certification is a voluntary process, its achievement represents an abiding commitment to patient care and is one of the highest honors that physicians can receive.  Board certification with the ABPS serves as demonstrable proof that a physician has the skills and knowledge to deliver world-class medical care.
