New Clinical Informatics Subspecialty Certification

The ABPM is pleased to announce that the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) has recently approved its application for subspecialty certification in Clinical Informatics. Clinical Informatics is co-sponsored by the American Board of Pathology (ABPath) and certification in this new subspecialty will be available to diplomates of all ABMS Member Boards. The ABPM and ABPath have started the process of creating a certification examination in the subspecialty of Clinical Informatics, but the first offering is yet to be determined. Further information will be on the ABPM website as it becomes available. If you would like to be added to our Clinical Informatics email list, please send an email to kdh@theabpm.org
