✦ Synopsis

The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), the American Board of Family Practice, (ABFP), the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) will administer the certification examination in Sports Medicine and the recertification examination in Sports Medicine on July 9, 10, and 17, 2004. Candidates will register to take an examination on one of those days and certification and recertification candidates will take the same examination.

The eligibility criteria are available from each of the four board offices or on the boards' web sites: www.abfp.org, www.abem.org, www.abim.org, www.abp.org.

Physicians must submit initial certification applications to the board through which they hold their primary specialty certificate. Physicians recertifying must submit their recertification applications to the Board through which they hold their initial subspecialty certificate. Physicians certified by more than one of the sponsoring boards may select the board through which they apply. Upon successful completion of the examination, the board through which the physician submitted the application will award certification. Application materials will be available from the ABEM office on January 15, 2004, and will be accepted with postmark dates through April 1, 2004. ABFP, ABIM, and ABP diplomates should contact their boards for application cycle information.
