Do ABMS Member Boards require written or oral medical exams?
Some member boards only require a written exam, while some require both written and oral exams. We will not have board certification verification until the physician completes and passes both portions of the exam and receives either a certificate or a congratulatory letter. A list of exam requirements is shown in the following tables: Requirements for General Certification and Requirements for Time-Limited Certification. Written exams are generally given in the fall or winter, and oral tests are offered in either spring or summer.
