The ABMS is a not-for-profit organization comprising 24 medical specialty Member Boards. The mission of the ABMS is to maintain

and improve the quality of medical care by assisting the Member Boards in their efforts to develop and utilize professional and

educational standards for the certification of physician specialists in the U.S. and internationally. The intent of both initial certi-

fication of physicians and maintenance of certification is to provide assurance to the public that a physician specialist certified

by a Member Board of the ABMS has successfully completed an approved educational program and evaluation process that in-

cludes components designed to assess the medical knowledge, judgment, professionalism, and clinical and communication skills

required to provide quality patient care in that specialty. The ABMS coordinates the activities of its Member Boards and provides

information to the public, the governments of the U.S. and other countries, the profession, and its Members concerning issues

involving certification of physicians in the U.S. and internationally.

ABPN Statement on Professionalism and Mission Statement

The mission of the ABPN is to develop and provide valid and reliable procedures for certification and maintenance of certifica-

tion in psychiatry and neurology by:

• Developing the best testing methods to evaluate candidate and diplomate competencies;

• Applying the best technologies and information available to collect and analyze pertinent data;

• Communicating and collaborating effectively with training programs, residents, candidates, diplomates, professional and

health care organizations, and the public; and

• Operating programs and services effectively and efficiently.

ABPN Mission Statement

Professionalism forms the basis of medicine’s contract with society. The ABPN is concerned with those aspects of professional-

ism that are demonstrated through a physician’s clinical competence, commitment to lifelong learning and professional

improvement, interpersonal skills, and ethical understanding and behavior. In its credentialing, certification, and MOC programs,

the ABPN seeks to assess and document that its candidates and diplomates possess and maintain these essential aspects of pro-

fessionalism.

ABPN Statement on Professionalism

1. Describe, in terms of knowledge and skills, a physician with special expertise in evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of

patients with psychiatric and/or neurologic disorders or who require psychiatric and/or neurologic assessment.

2. Set the standards for knowledge and skills required for certification.

3. Construct and administer examinations designed to evaluate required knowledge and skills.

4. Monitor, evaluate, and improve the standards and procedures of the certification process.

5. Participate in the appropriate Residency Review Committees of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education

(ACGME) to set standards for the quality and scope of residency training programs to ensure that their graduates will

obtain necessary training credit toward certification.

6. Issue certificates and other forms of recognition to successful candidates.

7. Make lists available of diplomates who have fulfilled the requirements for certification.

8. Inform the public, other professions, and other medical organizations of the purposes, activities, and responsibilities of the

Corporation.

9. Participate in the activities of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and its member Boards.

Methods for achieving that goal include (but are not limited to) efforts to:

Advancing the Mission of the ABPNThe mission of the ABPN is to develop and provide valid and reliable procedures for certification and mainte-nance of certification in psychiatry and neurology by:

1. Communication and Collaboration

In this year’s Annual Report, I would like to emphasize recent progress that has been achieved in each aspect of the ABPN mission.

Effective communication is crucial to the ABPN achieving its mission. This year, ABPN Directors and staff attended most na-

tional psychiatry and neurology professional meetings to review the requirements for certification and maintenance of certi-

fication (MOC). ABPN leadership met regularly with the leadership of national professional organizations to discuss issues of

mutual concern; and ABPN Directors, staff, and MOC Ambassadors presented on MOC at numerous local and regional profes-

sional meetings around the country.

The ABPN expanded its collaborations with national professional organizations around their production of free or low cost

MOC products with a goal of ensuring that relevant products are available for every major area of psychiatry and neurology

practice. Considerable progress has been made, and more self-assessment and PIP products are becoming available for diplo-

mate use.

1. Communicating and collaborating effectively with training programs, residents, candidates, diplomates, professional and health care organizations, and the public;

The ABPN updated its website to try to make it more user-friendly so that candidates and diplomates can more easily obtain

up-to-date information about certification and MOC requirements and report their MOC activities on the ABPN Folios. In 2014,

ABPN staff will conduct focus groups with early career psychiatrists and neurologists to obtain their feedback about how to

improve the ABPN website and communication efforts.

Promoting effective psychiatry and neurology education is an important collaborative effort of the ABPN. ABPN representa-

tives continued to participate in the Residency Review Committees and were members of the Milestones Committees for

psychiatry, neurology, and all the subspecialties.

Of special note this year has been the initiation of two new ABPN efforts to advance education.

• Faculty Fellowship Program – Two psychiatry and two neurology faculty will be selected each year for two-year fellow-

ships to promote innovative education and/or evaluation initiatives for residents and/or practitioners. Each Faculty Fellow

will receive $50,000 per year for two years. The following Faculty Fellows were selected for 2014:

• Melissa Arbuckle, M.D., Ph.D. – Columbia University – Psychiatrist

• Charles Flippen, M.D. - U.C.L.A. – Neurologist

• Michael Jibson, M.D., Ph.D. – University of Michigan – Psychiatrist

• Robert Stone, M.D. - University of Rochester – Neurologist

• Senior Resident Administrative Fellowship – One senior psychiatry resident and one senior neurology resident will be

selected each year to spend three months at the ABPN to learn about the structure and function of the ABPN and

national professional organizations, complete a research project, participate in an administrative seminar, and accom-

2. Applying the best technologies and information available to collect and analyze pertinent data;

3. Developing the best testing methods to evaluate candidate and diplomate competencies; and

4. Operating programs and services effectively and efficiently.Dr. Faulkner President and CEO


Advancing the Mission of the ABPN pany the ABPN President and CEO to professional meetings. Salary (if necessary), housing allowance, and travel expenses

will be paid by the ABPN. The following Administrative Fellows were selected for 2014 – 2015:

• Zubair Ahmed, M.D. – Cleveland Clinic – Neurology Resident

• Alexis Cohen-Oram, M.D. – University of South Florida – Psychiatry Resident

State-of-the-art technology and information is key to all aspects of the ABPN mission as it forms the basis for effective

credentialing, examination development, communication, and relevant MOC programs. Participation of training programs in

the ABPN Resident Tracking System has continued to increase, facilitating on-line applications for examinations. This year,

the ABPN has also begun to experiment with web-based examination development and examination committee meetings.

As mentioned above, the ABPN has redesigned its web page so that candidates and diplomates can more easily obtain the

information they need. A major benefit of the ABPN Continuous MOC Program is that it has resulted in more up-to-date

contact information for diplomates, which will facilitate better ongoing communication efforts about MOC.

2. Technologies and Information

Much more information is needed about the effects of MOC on quality patient care. To that end, the ABPN has funded a pilot

project to determine the feasibility of conducting research on the value of certification. Ultimately, the goal is to try to obtain

relevant research findings that might inform the structure of certification and MOC.

Since examinations play such a large role in certification and MOC, they are crucial to the ABPN mission. With the elimination of

the oral examinations, dramatic changes have taken place in the structure of ABPN certification examinations. Modifications in

the content outlines and the expansion of clinical vignettes have already been implemented. This year, the process for conver-

sion to DSM-5 has begun, which will impact tens of thousands of items in the ABPN question pool. In addition, the ABPN made

the decision this year to change to an overall pass-fail score for the psychiatry certification examination in 2014, as is already the

case for the neurology certification examination. Over the last few years, considerable effort has been expended to develop

video and audio vignettes for the psychiatry certification examination, using both real and simulated patients. Similar efforts

will begin next year for the neurology certification examination. The goal is for ABPN examinations to be able to assess the full

range of competencies for psychiatrists and neurologists with stimuli that are as realistic as possible.

3. Testing Methods

No organization’s mission can be achieved without adequate resources to accomplish it. Credibility dictates, however, that

the ABPN generate its programs as efficiently as possible and that its fees be reasonable. In my opinion the quality of ABPN

programs have steadily improved over the last several years, even though the number of ABPN staff has actually decreased.

Since 2007, certification fees have decreased by 21% and MOC fees have decreased by 29%. The ABPN Directors regularly review

the ABPN budget and fees with an eye toward making fees as low as feasible, and they have decided to decrease certification

fee another 7% in 2014.

4. Effective and Efficient Programs

The ABPN has made great strides this year in all areas of its mission. Much has been accomplished, yet much remains to be

done. With the continued effort of its talented and dedicated staff and volunteers, the ABPN is positioned well to continue its

progress in 2014 and beyond.
