Thank you, Examiners. We couldn't do this without you! 👏 At this weekend's oral exam, 200 board-certified ophthalmologists are evaluating whether or not more than 300 candidates' knowledge, judgment, and skills meet the standards for board certification in ophthalmology. We appreciate your leadership, wisdom, and willingness to give back to your profession. #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist #medicine #oralexam

What should the next ABO leader prioritize? Our CEO Search Committee is making preparations for a 2025 executive search and seeks your feedback. Your input on the search process and outcomes will have an impact on board certification programs for years to come. #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist

Terminology associated with minimum standards received maximum consideration in this edition of I.C.E.'s Credentialing Insights. In "Words Matter," ABO Director of Psychometrics and Assessment Sarah Schnabel and her psychometric colleagues explored the wording used to refer to a candidate at the passing score. #psychometrics #assessment #standards

As this weekend’s oral exam approaches, we recognize and celebrate the commitment of board-certified ophthalmologists like Dr. Deepak Sambhara who will generously share their time and apply their expertise as examiners. #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist #oralexam

🎃 Board-certified ophthalmologists are the pick of the patch! Here's a scary story: There was once a time when American patients had no clear way of knowing if their doctors had the necessary knowledge, judgment, and skills to practice a medical specialty. 🫣 But it has a happy ending. #Ophthalmologists demanded better—for their patients and their profession—and implemented the rigorous, peer-regulated system of board certification we know today. In addition to its vision connotations, the Board's motto, Ex Obscuris Lux (out of darkness, light), quite literally represented the profession's drive to equip patients with critical information about physician competency that could empower them to make more informed choices about their #care . Thank you, board-certified ophthalmologists, for all you've done and continue to do, to advance excellence in eye care! #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist #boardcertified
