American Osteopathic Board of Radiology[edit | edit source]
The American Osteopathic Board of Radiology (AOBR) is a professional organization that provides board certification to osteopathic physicians (DOs) specializing in the field of radiology. The AOBR is one of the eighteen specialty certifying boards approved by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), which is the primary certifying body for osteopathic physicians in the United States.
History[edit | edit source]
The AOBR was established to ensure that osteopathic radiologists meet the highest standards of practice in the field of radiology. It was founded to provide a pathway for osteopathic physicians to achieve board certification in radiology, recognizing their unique training and approach to patient care.
Certification Process[edit | edit source]
The certification process for the AOBR involves several steps:
Eligibility[edit | edit source]
To be eligible for certification by the AOBR, candidates must have completed an AOA-approved residency program in radiology. Additionally, they must hold an active license to practice medicine in the United States or Canada.
Examinations[edit | edit source]
The AOBR certification process includes both written and oral examinations. The written examination tests the candidate's knowledge of radiology, including diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures. The oral examination assesses the candidate's ability to apply this knowledge in clinical scenarios.
Maintenance of Certification[edit | edit source]
Board-certified osteopathic radiologists must participate in the AOBR's Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. This program is designed to ensure that diplomates maintain their knowledge and skills throughout their careers. It includes requirements for continuing medical education (CME), self-assessment, and periodic re-examination.
Subspecialties[edit | edit source]
The AOBR offers certification in several subspecialties of radiology, including:
Each subspecialty has its own specific requirements and examinations.
Role and Importance[edit | edit source]
The AOBR plays a crucial role in maintaining the standards of osteopathic radiology practice. By certifying qualified physicians, the AOBR ensures that patients receive high-quality care from professionals who are knowledgeable and skilled in the latest radiological techniques and technologies.
