Are there any board certifications related to minimally invasive spine surgery?
The answer to this question is currently no. There are several organizations that offer pseudo-board status, but they are not recognized, and in their current state, they probably never will be recognized. A physician can only claim to be board certified when they are a member of a board that is recognized by the state government, the ABOM (American Board of Medical Specialties). There are many organizations that call themselves “boards”, but they are not recognized at the state level, and thus are not official.
