The American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) is carefully monitoring the situation regarding COVID-19 and will post ongoing updates to the ABPM website. We recommend reviewing the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the latest updates along with additional information regarding COVID-19.
The ABPM’s Public Health & General Preventive Medicine leadership continues to examine and analyze all relevant datapoints and, along with the review of external expert recommendations regarding risk assessment, travel restrictions, and disease prevention, will make thoughtful and deliberate decisions regarding the upcoming application cycle and testing administrations. As this situation evolves, we encourage all of our stakeholders to check our website regularly for updates.
Based on current information and modeling, the ABPM’s application cycle, which opens on Monday, March 16th, and the 2020 Initial Certification and MOC examination dates will proceed as scheduled. For convenience, you can check the examination schedules by visiting the ABPM’s Initial Certification and MOC examination sections of the website.
As this situation evolves, the ABPM will continue to support physicians through their certification activities and provide comprehensive services through the online support center. Please continue to contact the ABPM via email at [email protected] for any questions related to your individual circumstances.
