About ABIM Board Certification
Since its founding in 1936, certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has stood for the highest standard in internal medicine and its 20 subspecialties.
ABIM Board Certified physicians demonstrate—to their peers and to the public—that they have the clinical knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent patient care. ABIM is not a membership society, but a physician-led, nonprofit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. Our accountability is both to the profession of medicine and to the public.
Of the Profession, For the Public
