American Board of Pediatrics (ABP)

The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) is a professional organization that certifies doctors who specialize in caring for children and teenagers. After completing medical school and general training, aspiring pediatricians undergo additional training and then pass rigorous exams administered by the ABP. Certification signifies that a pediatrician has met specific standards of knowledge and skill to provide high-quality healthcare for children. The ABP also promotes ongoing education to ensure pediatricians stay current with medical advances, ultimately helping ensure safe, effective, and compassionate care for young patients.
