American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine[edit]

The American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM) is a professional organization that provides board certification to osteopathic physicians (DOs) specializing in internal medicine and its subspecialties. The AOBIM is one of the 18 certifying boards of the American Osteopathic Association Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists (AOABOS).

History[edit]

The AOBIM was established to ensure that osteopathic physicians specializing in internal medicine meet the highest standards of practice. It was founded to provide a pathway for certification that recognizes the unique training and philosophy of osteopathic medicine.

The certification process for the AOBIM involves several steps:

  • Eligibility Requirements: Candidates must have completed an AOA-approved residency in internal medicine.

  • Ongoing Certification: Diplomates must participate in the Osteopathic Continuous Certification (OCC) process, which includes lifelong learning and self-assessment, cognitive assessment, and practice performance assessment.

Subspecialties[edit]

The AOBIM offers certification in several subspecialties of internal medicine, including:
