American Board of Physician Specialties
American Board of Hospital Medicine NOW IS THE TIME The American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) recognizes the rapid growth and importance of hospitalists and hospital medicine throughout the United States and Canada. That is why we have developed this nation’s first board of certification in hospital medicine ---- the American Board of Hospital Medicine (ABHM). This was achieved with dedication and commitment by selected physician leader Diplomates from the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS), American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and American Osteopathic Association Bureau of Specialists (AOABOS). ABHM is not a subspecialty of another board of certification but a full fledged, comprehensive board in hospital medicine. Hospital medicine is its own specialty, and thus, necessitates a board of certification duly reflecting that fact. We envision subspecialties of hospital medicine, however, we do not think it is appropriate that hospital medicine be developed and managed under another existing board of certification. THERE IS A DEFINITIVE NEED Hospital medicine and hospitalists need to be fully and nationally recognized for their significant medical care and leadership roles. The American Board of Hospital Medicine has developed a rigorous examination process which effectively evaluates the core body of knowledge of hospitalists. It is time to fully recognize hospital medicine and hospitalists for the critical roles they play in the delivery of healthcare. Allopathic and osteopath- ic physicians from the United States and Canada are leading the way in providing a needed board of certification in hospital medicine, to ensure to- day’s hospitalists possess a specific core body of knowledge. HOSPITALISTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE LEADERS Hospital medicine is one of this nation’s fastest developing medical specialties.
