Rheumatology Board Certification

Thank you for participating in the rheumatology board certification survey. Your feedback is critical for the ACR to understand whether you believe that rheumatology initial certification and MOC should remain with ABIM or move to ABAI with the formation of a new combined board of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology. We greatly value your opinion regarding this important issue of initial rheumatology board certification and MOC. We will provide the survey results in the coming months.

 

A Message from the ACR

Dear members of the rheumatology community,

I am writing to you with an important message about certification in rheumatology. This has been a significant area of concern for our members and the ACR has undertaken many efforts to address issues related to ongoing certification with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). These efforts have now led us once again ask you to contribute your voice on this issue. Read the letter
