The American Board of Urgent Care Medicine was established in 1997, offering board certification to physicians who practice Urgent Care Medicine. Since that time, more than 1,000 physicians have become Board Certified, thus demonstrating their excellence in the discipline of Urgent Care Medicine!
The ABUCM proposes that the physicians who advertise themselves as "Board Certified" in Urgent Care Medicine, have in fact been certified in their area of expertise by a specialty board that uses procedures and standards sufficient to ensure that the certified physician has the training, knowledge, and skills necessary to assure the public that he or she is a qualified medical specialist.
