American Board of Family Medicine

The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) is a nonprofit organization that certifies family physicians in the United States. Its goal is to ensure that doctors providing primary care are well-trained and continuously updated on medical knowledge and practice. To achieve certification, family physicians must demonstrate their skills and pass exams, and they must also undergo periodic recertification. The ABFM promotes high standards in family medicine by supporting physicians in their education and professional development, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and health outcomes in the communities they serve.
