Article Abstract:

Certification by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties is among the most vital professional qualifications for generations of physicians. Board certification is a kind of self-regulation, which is funded by physicians through application fees and that remains under the control of the profession and the changes in board certification have implications for the licensure of physicians.
