The new board would be independent of the American Board of Internal Medicine, which currently handles the cardiology certification process, according to a Sept. 21 news release.
The organizations will submit an application to the American Board of Medical Specialties for the creation of the new board.
The board plans to implement a pathway to continuous certification and competency as opposed to the current maintenance of certification approach.
The application process is several months long, and if approved, would take several more months before the new board’s programs would be in place, the release said.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
