ABOM: Why Certify?
“The ABOM is the single board certification which illustrates your commitment to the care of patients with overweight and obesity. Since this is the most prominent chronic disease in the US, it is essential to have physicians that are educated and vested in treatment.”
“As a practicing physician, I was impressed that the ABOM certification exam covered clinical competency and had questions that were obviously written by clinicians. It’s quite clear that being ABOM-certified will demonstrate that the diplomate has the tools to care for this challenging population.”
“The TOS Review Course is extremely valuable for any physician planning to take the ABOM Exam. It is taught by expert leaders in the field and is conveniently offered as an ObesityWeek pre-conference. You can attend the conference, take the Review Course, and a few months later – get ABOM certified!”
“Being an ABOM Diplomate, I can attest to the value of being ABOM certified. It’s strengthened my knowledge and competency on obesity and overweight ensuring I can provide my patients with the best possible care and information.”
