American Board Of Oral Medicine Requests Recognition As National Certifying Board For New Specialty

The ADA News (8/10, Solana) reports that on Aug. 5, the American Board of Oral Medicine submitted “an application and request to the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards to be recognized as the certifying board for the newly approved specialty of oral medicine.” The article notes that about four months ago, “the National Commission recognized oral medicine as a dental specialty,” and if the National Commission approves the American Board of Oral Medicine’s request, it “would become recognized as the national certifying board that administers the board certification examination certifying qualified dentists as diplomats in the specialty of oral medicine.”
