Why does CertiFACTS Online show medical board certification with expired dates?
If the board certification verification is within the past year, the physician may have recertified, but, for whatever reason, this board certification information has not yet been forwarded to ABMS. You will need to contact the board directly to inquire about that particular physician. We have chosen to keep diplomates with expired medical certificates in the database so you can access the status and decide if you wish to investigate further. Medical board certification that we know is expired will show up in red text on the results screen. If we have no ending date on a time-limited medical certificate, the result will not show up in red; however, please refer to the time-limited tables for further information, or contact the member board directly.
