Board of Certification in Family Medicine Obstetrics allows physicians who are initially residency-trained in family medicine, and who subsequently have completed a fellowship in family medicine obstetrics, to become board-certified in family medicine obstetrics. Board certification requires completion of an approved fellowship, preparation of case reports for review by the board, and passing both written and oral examinations. [2] Recertification is required every 8 years. The board is a member of the American Board of Physician Specialties - an organization that allows both Doctors of Medicine and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine to become members.
