The National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS) was founded in 2014 to provide an alternative pathway for the maintenance phase of certification through rigorous, practice-specific continuing medical education (CME). NBPAS also requires initial ABMS or AOA board certification and is the only organization that board certifies physicians in all ABMS and AOA medical specialties and subspecialties.
NBPAS is a 501c(3), not-for-profit, organization with unpaid volunteer physician leadership. NPBAS has 8900 NBPAS board certified physicians with 138 hospitals and health systems accepting NBPAS Board certification.
**NBPAS certifies only ABMS and AOA recognized specialties and subspecialties.
