Only if the board-certified physician has completed an ACGME approved residency program can a DO sit for the ABMS board exams and, in turn, be listed in the CertiFACTS Online database and on our Web site. If a physician’s postgraduate training is osteopathic, then he or she is only eligible to take the exams administered by the American Osteopathic Association; ABMS information does not contain specific AOA data.
