Candidates Certified - All Candidates

Presented here are the total number of certificates and the total number of currently valid certificates issued by the ABIM by discipline as of April 3, 2012. These data are updated annually. The All Certificates" column identifies the total number of certificates issued, including certified internists/subspecialists known to be deceased and/or those whose certificates are no longer valid. The Valid Certificates" column does not contain these groups.

Candidates Certified by State: All States and US Territories

State identification is based on the most recent address provided to the ABIM by the physician. The ABIM has limited contact with some Board Certified physicians. Therefore, the accuracy of many addresses is uncertain.

Candidates Certified by Country: All Countries (Non-US)

Country identification is based on the most recent address (outside the United States) provided to the ABIM by the physician. The ABIM has limited contact with some Board Certified physicians. Therefore, the accuracy of many addresses is uncertain.

Because the ABIM does not have addresses for every candidate in its database, summing the All States and US Territories data with the All Countries (Non-US) data may not produce the Total data reported for All Certificates or the Total data reported for Valid Certificates.

ACGME Accredited Areas of Combined Training

Presented below are ABIM subspecialty certification data for ACGME accredited combined training pathways as of April 3, 2012. The Single Disciplines portion of the table presents data regarding the number of physicians with a valid certificate in only one discipline within the combined training area. The Combined Disciplines portion of the table presents data regarding the number of physicians with valid certificates in both disciplines within the combined training area. Because the ABIM does not have addresses for every candidate in its database, summing the All States and US Territories data with the All Countries (Non-US) data may not produce the Total data reported. Please note that these data do not necessarily reflect the number of physicians practicing in the disciplines listed.
