Verifying Certification

How can I find out if a particular radiologist, radiation oncologist, or physicist is certified?

If you require formal written verification of a physician or physicist's status:

We can provide an official letter of verification for a fee of $100 payable by check, VISA™ or MASTERCARD™. We are unable to accept any other credit card types.

Send your written request via fax, e-mail or postal mail, accompanied by the fee, for processing.

If paying by credit card, please use this form.

If you do NOT require a formal written verification of a physician or physicist's status:

The ABR does not verify certification by phone or e-mail. However, information on physician certification is available online at no charge from the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). The ABMS also publishes a directory of certified medical specialists. This directory is available in public and medical libraries. For more information visit the ABMS website .

Do you publish a listing of certified radiologists, radiation oncologists, and physicists?

The ABR does not publish that information. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) does make the information available via the ABMS website.

Do you provide referrals?

No, the ABR does not give referrals.

Can you give me any background on a particular radiologist?

We will only verify whether an individual is certified and in which specialty or subspecialty. If an individual is still in the examination process, the verification will include that information.

Do you publish any mailing lists?

No, ABR data are kept confidential.
