CHICAGO, Jan. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new report from the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), a record number of U.S. physicians and medical specialists are board certified, benefitting patients and their families across the country.
The 2020-2021 ABMS Board Certification Report shows that more than 940,000 physicians are currently certified by an ABMS Member Board, representing an increase of more than 25,000 physicians over the previous year and an overall 10.3 percent increase since 2016.
"Now more than ever, it is critically important that patients have access to high-quality medical care," stated ABMS Senior Vice President, Certification Standards and Programs Greg Ogrinc, MD, MS. "It is rewarding to see so many physicians nationwide reaching for the highest standard of specialty care, which is what board certification by an ABMS Member Board represents."
The board certification process was created more than 100 years ago as a rigorous, independent evaluation of a physician's experience, knowledge, and skills. Today, board certification supports continuous assessment and professional development activities. While doctors are required to be licensed by the state in which they practice, board certification is a higher standard that doctors choose to attain and maintain. To verify that their doctor has taken that extra step to practice at the top of their profession and deliver high-quality and safe care, patients can visit www.CertificationMatters.org.
