Medical specialty certification in the United States is a voluntary process which serves multiple purposes for the trainee and the public.

One mission of our training program is to produce trainees who meet board eligibility criteria for Pediatric Critical Care.  Board certification distinguishes a physician as someone with a distinct level of expertise, provides more opportunities when applying for employment, presents resources and tools by the ABMS, and elevates physicians into the ranks of doctors committed to the highest standards of healthcare.

For more information visit the American Board of Pediatrics for specifics on board certification requirements.
