AB The evaluation of professionalism is embedded in the American Board of Medical Specialties’ continuing certification programs for its 24 member boards.1 Currently, professionalism assessment is largely restricted to documenting professional standing, such as the status of medical licenses and medical staff privileges. With increased recognition of an expanded view of professionalism to include professional behaviors and competencies comes an opportunity for medical specialty boards to embrace a more formative approach to professionalism assessment. The goal of such an approach is to educate, reaffirm, and reinforce positive professional behaviors long beyond completion of formal medical education.
