American Board of Family Medicine Sleep Medicine CAQ Approved by the ABMS
The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) approved the American Board of Family Medicine’s (ABFM) application to provide a Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) in Sleep Medicine today at its Annual Meeting. ABFM Diplomates will be able to sit for the first Sleep Medicine examination in November of this year. The Board of Directors of the ABFM made the decision at its Interim Meeting last October to seek approval from the ABMS for the ABFM’s co-sponsorship of a CAQ in Sleep Medicine along with the ABMS Boards of Internal Medicine (ABIM), Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Neurology, and Otolaryngology. The ABFM has begun to work closely with ABIM, who will administer the exam. When the application process is finalized, details will be announced on the ABFM website, www.theabfm.org.

As many of you may know, our own Dr. Jerome Alonso (R2) was instrumental in this process. Good work Jerome! It's wonderful to see your efforts and hard work pay off in such a big way!
