Learner Certification Through the American Board of Pediatrics
摘要
The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) is a professional organization that certifies general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists in the United States. Established in 1933, the ABP aims to ensure pediatricians have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to provide high-quality care for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. It is one of 24 member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), which oversees the certification of physician specialists in the United States. This chapter outlines the standards and expectations for certifying general pediatricians through the ABP with the goal of ensuring that pediatricians possess the knowledge, skills, and training necessary to deliver high-quality care to infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Pediatricians pursue certification through a process that includes rigorous education, supervised training, and ongoing assessment aligned with national medical standards.
