Verification of Credentials

To maintain your certificate you must be licensed and in good standing.

Verification of Licensure

All candidates for Certification and Maintenance of Certification must possess a valid, unrestricted, and unchallenged medical license in the jurisdiction where they practice. Candidates with licenses that are restricted, suspended, revoked or surrendered in lieu of disciplinary action in any jurisdiction will be denied admission to a certifying examination or denied recertification. Restrictions include but are not limited to conditions, contingencies, probation and stipulated agreements.

Specifically for Interventional Cardiologists – See Procedural Requirements for Interventional Cardiologists for an additional procedural requirement.

Substance Abuse

If a candidate or a physician has a history of substance abuse, documentation of at least one year of continuous sobriety from a reliable monitoring source must be submitted to the Board for admission to an examination or to receive a certificate. The Board treats such information as confidential.
