Why is it Important for Physicians to Promote their ABOIM Diplomate Status?

ABOIM Diplomate MarkToday, the importance of being board certified in your area of expertise has never been greater. Not only do employers value board certification, many organizations are actually beginning to require that their doctors be certified in their respective specialties. And, make no mistake, this is a direct result of the interest that the general public has shown in turning to board certified physicians. As a result, it’s understandable that Diplomates at the American Board of Integrative Medicine® (ABOIM) are so motivated to promote their coveted ABOIM status.

While not everyone knows the exact requirements that physicians must meet in order to earn board certification, nearly everyone recognizes that board certification is a good barometer of a physician’s qualifications. When the time comes to secure a physician, just about everyone will turn to the board certified physician if there is a choice between several candidates. This is particularly relevant in the field of Integrative Medicine, where the American Board of Physician Specialties® became the first major national multi-specialty physician certifying organization to offer board certification when we developed the ABOIM. The fact is that ABOIM Diplomates have something that other physicians in their specialty don’t, and that needs to be proudly advertised to the public.

To assist our Diplomates in their marketing endeavors, we have designed a logomark that helps brand them as Integrative Medicine physicians. We strongly encourage our Diplomates to feature this logo prominently on:

  • Websites
  • Business cards
  • Mailers
  • Advertisements
  • Newsletters
  • Social media
  • Other branding campaigns

Patient Care Is Our Priority

Medical organizations throughout North America understand that our rigorous certification standards prove that ABPS Diplomates are capable of delivering the best patient care possible.

When I decided to pursue a full time role as a physician executive it was important to me to obtain additional professional training, education and work experience. Board certification through the ABPS in Administrative Medicine is validation of my efforts and a demonstration of dedication to professional development. We need more physicians to become full time health care executives, knowing there is a board certification option in Administrative Medicine encourages physicians to take the leap from full time clinical practice to healthcare organizational leadership.

Administrative Medicine
The American Board of Physician Specialties has provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of internal medicine through board certification. As a hospitalist, board certification is an expected credential, and hospitals recognize the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) as one of the three standard credentialling bodies for Internal Medicine. Additionally, the ABPS has helped me develop leadership skills as a Board member and Committee Chairperson. ABPS has also helped me sharpen critical thinking skills as a test question developer and reviewer. The Allopathic (MD) and Osteopathic (DO) physicians in the ABPS are lifelong learners and frequently pursue multiple board certifications. I enjoy the camaraderie of my peers in ABPS.

Internal Medicine
When I think historically, advancement in medicine and patient safety and care has been driven by the diversity of people and scientific thought. That’s what I found at the ABPS and more. For over 60 years that is just who we are. I found a physician certifying body that provides a choice and voice to all physicians ensuring that patients are always placed first.
