reconstructive and aesthetic services on patients suffering from skin or

Founded in 1937, the American Board of Plastic Surgery was created to
set standards and establish requirements for those who wished to enter
the field of plastic surgery. The board enforces a code of ethics in plastic
surgery practices and has developed a standard examination for those
who would like to earn board certification.
Certification by the board requires passing a written and oral
examination to verify that students have an understanding and
competency of the field of plastic surgery. Examinations must be passed
within eight years beginning from the time applicants have completed
their residency training in plastic surgery to receive certification.
