The American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) is recognized by the Specialty Board Recognition Committee (SBRC), under the authority of the American Podiatric Medical Association. The ABPM began certifying podiatric physicians in the specialty of Podiatric Orthopedics in 1978, and added the additional area of Primary Podiatric Medicine in 1993. Both areas are now included in a single recognized specialty. The examinations are administered annually.
Effective August 17, 2012 the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine began doing business as (DBA) “The American Board of Podiatric Medicine”. This change is limited only to the name by which the organization is referenced in our communications with the membership and outside organizations, and in connection with primary source verification of a given board qualified or board certified member.
A verification fee is required for all orders including those that are not found in our system. Complete the verification request, and pay the required fees. Once payment is approved, the following applies:
For annual subscription requests, Board Headquarters will email you additional information.
For individual verification requests, you will be redirected to a page where you can print the verification results or save the access code and link for future reference.
