ABOIM Offers Time-Limited Certification Pathways for Non-Fellowship Trained Physicians in Integrative Medicine

The American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABOIM) has created a new pathway for allopathic and osteopathic physicians who have not completed an approved fellowship to be eligible for certification in integrative medicine. The new Ayurveda training option and other non-fellowship pathways will remain open for a limited time only.

Other Certification Pathways Are Set to Expire

With the addition of this pathway, the following pathway options to ABOIM certification will expire after December 31, 2022:

  • Graduation from an accredited four-year naturopathic college
  • Graduation from an accredited Accreditation Commission on Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) college
  • Graduation from a Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) college
  • Graduation from a three-year (master’s) or four-year (doctoral) Ayurveda training program and successful completion of a corresponding exam from the National Ayurvedic Medicine Association Certification Board (NAMACB)

Physicians who apply for certification after December 31, 2022, must complete an ABOIM- approved fellowship in integrative medicine to be eligible. To view the complete eligibility requirements, click here.

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.

ABPS provides a guarantee of a high level of competency. Not only has this been good for my professional development but it has assured my patients that the clinicians they see are trained to the highest degree.

I value my ABPS certification very highly because it is one-of-a-kind certification in Urgent Care Medicine under the auspices of a larger, reputable organization. I really enjoy the professional and personal relationships I have formed with other individuals in the development of this new board and appreciate the great lengths that ABPS goes to ensure and enhance the recognition of it's component boards.

ABPS gives its members unique opportunities to learn and develop professionally. I have been practicing Emergency Medicine for over 27 years and have been privileged to be a member of this fabulous organization. Through ABPS I have developed tremendously in my professional career becoming a consummate practitioner of my trade, a physician leader locally at my hospital, in my region , at the state level, and a published clinical researcher.
