What Are the Requirements for ABMS Certification in Oncology?
To become ABMS-certified in oncology-related specialties, physicians must complete extensive training, including medical school, residency, and often fellowships. They must also pass a series of examinations that test their knowledge and clinical skills. Continuing medical education (CME) and periodic re-certification are also required to maintain their board-certified status. This ongoing process ensures that certified oncologists are current with the latest cancer treatment protocols and technologies.
