Hi all,
I was wondering if ABIM Certification in Internal Medicine is required for fellowship training in IM Subspecialties. I just looked into this as no one told me I need to schedule my board exam date, nor did my fellowship contract stipulate this, and of course the deadline to schedule the test has passed. The only thing my fellowship requires is state licensure, which I understand is a prerequisite for ABIM certification, but nothing has specifically been said about ABIM Certification.
I contacted my program to find out more but I'm awaiting a response.
Anyone have any insight into this?
