Beginning in 2016, the only pathway to board certification is the computer-administered Psychiatry Certification examination. All psychiatrists who wish to pursue board certification will be required to submit documentation of satisfactory performance in the evaluation of clinical skills completed in an ACGME-accredited program as part of the ABPN credentialing process. Training programs approved by the Residency Review Committees and accredited by the ACGME can be found in the current edition of the Graduate Medical Education Directory published by the AMA or on their website www.acgme.org.
Credentialing requirements for the Psychiatry Certification examination can be found on this website. Please contact our credentials department at 847.229.6510 if you have questions regarding the clinical skills assessments or the examination format.
