American Board of Internal Medicine
November, 2011
A successful internal medicine and gastroenterology specialist with more than three decades of experience in the field, Dr. Morris Taub is a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine. For more than 70 years, the American Board of Internal Medicine has functioned as a non-profit organization dedicated to the evaluation of physicians and the continuing improvement of the profession as a whole. By awarding certification to physicians practicing within the field of internal medicine since its inception in 1936, the American Board of Internal Medicine now serves as the largest internal medicine certification organization in the country, with a total membership of more than 200,000 physicians.
Today, the American Board of Internal Medicine represents 19 subspecialties when performing evaluations and issuing certification. The Board also acts as one of the 24 medical specialty boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties, which seeks to establish cooperation among various medical fields when determining certification standards. Because the average patient is more likely to consult with an internist than any other type of doctor, the American Board of Internal Medicine must ensure that the quality of care from these professionals meets a lofty standard of professional and ethical conduct. When evaluating physicians, the Board carefully reviews their clinical judgment, skills, and attitudes. By establishing and maintaining its high standards, the American Board of Internal Medicine hopes to improve the quality of both the profession and the state of public health in the United States.
To become a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine, applicants must first pass a rigorous examination that tests knowledge of the appropriate subspecialty. Starting in 1936 with the first administration of the General Internal Medicine exam, the Board has expanded to include specialized examinations on more specific topics. Exams vary in content and difficulty and include subjects such as cardiovascular disease, gastroenterology, infectious disease, medical oncology, and sleep medicine. After passing the initial entrance exam, member physicians must complete a Maintenance of Certification exam at regular intervals.
