About

It’s Time for an Independent Board of CV Medicine

Cardiology has evolved into a distinct medical specialty, requiring extensive knowledge and training specific to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease that is separate from the field of internal medicine. With this evolution, it is time for a new competency-based approach to continuous certification – one that harnesses the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to sustain professional excellence and care for cardiovascular patients effectively.

To that end, a consortium of cardiovascular societies has submitted an application, currently under review with the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), to create a new American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine focused on sustaining professional excellence and providing cardiovascular patients with the utmost confidence in their care.
