Technically according to my board certification letter from the ABPN it would be "a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc., a member Board of the American Board of Medical Specialities." Pretty unwieldy I think.

DABPN if you wish

Not sure if getting trolled on this... but I will bite...

Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology = DABPN

While I assumed it was related to us based on context, I’ve never investigated it.

When medical professionals of any type start adding multiple designations after their name, I become less impressed.

I’ve seen John Doe, psychiatrist, MD, CBSM, DABPN, FAPA. I can’t say that I didn’t judge this person instantly. By the time I could decipher FAPA, I forgot whether this person was a NP, PA, LPC, LCSW, or MD/DO.
