Board certification is evidence that you have successfully completed an approved US educational and training program and passed a rigorous evaluation process. It demonstrates that you are prepared to provide quality patient care in your specialty.
At MSI, we are finding that more and more hospitals and practices will not consider non-board certified physicians for employment or partnership. This means it is increasingly difficult for us to find domestic assignments for non-board certified physicians. In addition, we are finding that some state licensing boards are reluctant to issue licenses to non-board certified physicians. Our international clients also require board certified doctors, so if overseas adventure is in your plans, plan on sitting for those boards!
It's also just as important that you keep your certifications current. All certificates issued by members of the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties®) are time limited. The limits range from six to 10 years, depending on the board and specialty.
If you are board eligible or board prepared, you can begin working domestic Healthcare Staffing assignments before you take your exams. In fact, it's a great way to earn an income while ensuring that you'll have the time and flexibility to study. Click here for more information on general and subspecialty certification.
