The American Board of Pediatrics

The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) is the organization responsible for certifying doctors who specialize in children’s health. After completing medical school and pediatric residency, doctors can take exams from the ABP to become board-certified. This certification confirms they have met high standards of knowledge and skills in pediatrics. The ABP also promotes ongoing education and maintains standards to ensure children receive safe, effective, and up-to-date medical care throughout a pediatrician’s career.
