The American Board of Aesthetic Medicine & Surgery is an autonomous specialty board. ABAMS was founded with the purpose of establishing a standardized route for physicians who come from non-cosmetic backgrounds to obtain certification in aesthetic medicine. Nowadays, physicians from diverse medical fields are incorporating aesthetic procedures into their practices, and it’s crucial to have a structured training and certification process for them.
At present, the primary formal training pathways for aesthetic medicine involve completing residencies in plastic surgery or dermatology, which may not be accessible to professionals from other specialties. ABAMS bridges this gap by offering certification, thereby contributing significantly to the enhancement of quality care within the realm of aesthetic medicine.
