The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) is searching for board-certified family physicians to become members of a virtual network to provide general and issue-specific feedback that will help the ABFM continually improve the certification process.
The ABFM seeks interested Diplomats who are willing to provide feedback, perspective, and fresh ideas about a variety of issues, including changes being considered to improve and evolve certification activities; optimization of the new ABFM website; redesign of the Physician Portfolio; development of independent assessment items; opportunities for certification to support broad-scope, comprehensive practice; and consideration of new areas of focused practice designation.
- The ability to influence aspects of ABFM’s five-year strategic plan and provide information that can be used to inform board of director discussions and decisions
- Periodic invitations to attend optional, in-person feedback events such as regional or national focus groups
- Recognition opportunities through physician spotlight articles in ABFM’s Phoenix newsletter, on social media, or state chapter publications, etc.
The ABFM is interested in building an Engagement Network that includes physicians with diverse practice experiences, reflective of today’s trends in practice. The ABFM is excited to work with you and learn about new ways to improve the certification process for you and your colleagues!
