What is a board-certified physician?
A board-certified physician is a licensed medical doctor that has received a certification from the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). Receiving an ABMS certification is a voluntary process for doctors that want to adhere to industry-standards for providing care to their patients.
Board-certified physicians have proven to the ABMS that they have the following credentials, skills, and experience to provide high-quality care which includes:
- Sufficient medical experience and expertise to provide care to patients
- Educational competencies inline with leading medical professionals
- The ability to perform duties with excellent bedside manner as evaluated by rigorous ABMS tests
Whenever you need urgent care for your minor injuries, preventive screenings, flu shots, or other needs, AFC Shelton’s board-certified physicians are here to make treatment simple, cost-effective, and helpful to your unique needs.
