Distinguish Yourself: Become Board Certified in Addiction Medicine

These addictions can be alcohol, tobacco or other drugs, including illicit drugs and prescription medications.
The ABAM certificate signifies excellence in the practice of Addiction Medicine. It demonstrates that a physician has met vigorous standards through intensive study, assessment and evaluation, and assures the public that a physician has the knowledge, experience and skills to provide high quality patient care.
