Board certification is an achievement your pediatrician obtains by taking a 2-day exam to prove they have current and complete knowledge of their specialty. After a set period, they must retake the exam or answer 17 to 20 questions on a quarterly test for the rest of their career to maintain their board-certification status. By doing so, your pediatrician is confirming they read the most recent updates and articles and stay up to date on the recent developments, information and advancements in the field of pediatrics. It also means that your pediatrician is committing to delivering the highest standard of care. Board-certified pediatricians bear the acronym FAAP with their name and the qualification of MD. FAAP stands for Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Choosing a board-certified pediatrician is another step families can take to ensure their children receive the most current recommended standard of care.
