Verification of the certification status of physicians is available here for the individuals certified by the ABP in the specialty of pediatrics and its subspecialties1. ABP certification in any of the subspecialties requires initial certification in general pediatrics.
This verification service contains data extracted by the ABP from its own database. The data on this Web site are provided by and controlled entirely by the ABP and therefore constitute a primary source verification as authentic as a direct inquiry to the ABP office.
You can search the database of physicians currently certified by the ABP by city and state or province, or by country.
IMPORTANT: The information is updated monthly but not precisely every 30 days, and may take as long as 60 days to update.
If you already know the physician's name and need to know their certification status, use the ABP Verification of Certification service.
