Setting the highest certification standards for psychiatrists and neurologists since 1934

After Submitting an Application

Scheduling instructions will be emailed to diplomates approved to sit for an examination approximately two months prior to the examination using the diplomates’ email address in the Physician Portal system. Scheduling for testing appointments with Pearson VUE will begin shortly after that email has been sent. The ABPN does not guarantee availability of testing appointments at any given test center, date, or time. Test takers should contact Pearson VUE as soon as scheduling opens to make the best appointment possible at that time.

Continuing Certification applicants who do not receive any notification from the Board regarding their application by 12 weeks after their application submission should contact the Board office to inquire about the status of their application.
