| The
mission of the American Board of Otolaryngology
(ABOto) is to assure that, at the time of certification
and recertification, diplomates certified by
the ABOto have met the ABOto's professional
standards of training and knowledge in otolaryngology
- head and neck surgery. |

What does it mean to be Board Certified?
While
licensure by the individual states sets the minimum
competency requirements to practice medicine, it is
not specialty specific. Board certification is a voluntary
program in which specialists seek to improve their
performance and demonstrate a commitment to their
profession. Click
