What is the American Board of Urology and Why is it Important?
When choosing a physician or a treatment it is helpful to consider whether or not the physician is certified by an American Board of Medical Specialties member board. The certification process evaluates a physician's clinical skills based on education, examination, review of actual surgical cases, peer review and other criteria.
There are currently 24 medical specialty boards in the United States that certify physicians. The American Board of Urology is the medical specialty board that certifies urologists in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
The American Board of Urology was organized in 1935 to encourage study, improve standards, and promote competency in the practice of urology.
Although urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty, urologists must have an understanding of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology and other specialties in order to treat the wide variety of medical problems encountered.
The objective of the Board is to identify, for the public's knowledge, those physicians who have satisfied the Board's criteria for certification and recertification in the specialty of urology.
