    Established in 1999 by ABIM as a non-profit operating foundation, the ABIM Foundation complements ABIM’s board Certification program. The ABIM Foundation permits exploration of the broader set of issues that are central to the common mission of ABIM and the ABIM Foundation: to enhance quality of care.

    The ABIM Foundation focuses on four primary activities:

    • Exploring what it means for physicians to be professionals in the 21st century;
    • Stimulating physicians to become involved in quality assessment and improvement;
    • Bringing diverse groups of leaders together to enable dialogue and consensus; and
    • Promoting research of quality evaluation and improvement.

    The ABIM Foundation’s work is led by a Board of 12 Trustees that includes national leaders in quality assessment and improvement and medical education, consumer advocates, policymakers, purchasers and representatives of the ABIM Board of Directors.
