ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS

Regardless of specialty, ABPP applications begin with a comprehensive review of credentials. This includes all doctoral and postdoctoral training experiences.

After approval, candidates are invited to submit practice samples of their work to the specialty board. Each specialty differs in the competencies expected to be covered in the practice samples.

After work samples have been reviewed and approved, candidates take a series of exams (oral, and in some cases written) within their specialty.
