Agents can only provide certification verification. They cannot provide you with detailed biographical or residency training information, help you locate a physician or register complaints against a physician.

Look in the Book

"The Official ABMS Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists" provides up-to-date professional and biographical information on physicians who have met the certification requirements of their respective medical specialty boards. All biographies include type of specialty, subspecialty (if applicable), and years of certification, sub-certification, re-certification and time-limited certification as appropriate. "The Official ABMS Directory" can be found in many medical and public libraries.

Contact a Member Board

Written verification is also available by contacting the individual Member Board in the physician's field of practice. Find the addresses of the Member Boards here.
