What does Board Certification mean?
To practice medicine in the United States, doctors must be licensed by the states in which they work. However, being licensed does not indicate whether a doctor is qualified to practice in a specific medical specialty, such as family medicine, surgery or dermatology. One of the best ways to know if your doctor has the qualifications to provide care in a specialty is to find out if he or she is Board Certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and participating in activities to stay up-to-date with the latest advances in medicine and patient care.
