From MedPage Today:
Physicians have between three and seven years after finishing residency to become board certified, according to a new policy from the American Board of Medical Specialties.
The policy, which became effective this year, marks the first time that ABMS has set time limits for certification.
The four-year span “recognizes that 24 ABMS Member Boards, each certifying physicians in a specialty, have different requirements for Board Certification and offer their certification exams at different intervals,” the organization said in a press release.
