ABPN
The ABPN, in concurrence with the ABMS, established a Committee on Certification in the Subspecialty of Psychosomatic Medicine (CLP) in 2003. This was done to officially establish the field of psychosomatic medicine as a definite area of subspecialization in psychiatry and to provide a means of identifying properly trained and experienced psychosomatic medicine subspecialists. The first examination was administered in 2005.
The actual mechanics of certification of qualified candidates have been delegated by the Board to the Committee, which operates under the supervision of and in accordance with the policies of the Board.
Currently, there is no limit on the number of times an applicant may apply to take the initial certification in the subspecialty of clinical neurophysiology examination. For Board eligibility requirements, please visit: Board Eligibility (abpn.org).
