American Board of Allergy and Immunology

About This Association

The ABAI was established in 1971 as a Conjoint Board of the ABIM and ABP. The internal medicine subspecialty existed from 1936-1971 and the pediatric subspecialty existed from 1944-1971. The ABAI is committed to working closely with its parent boards to maintain the highest educational and clinical standards in the specialty of allergy/immunology. Beginning in 1989, new ABAI Diplomates receive certificates valid for ten years. Time unlimited certificates were issued prior to 1989. As of 2009, ABAI transitioned from recertification to a continuous Maintenance of Certification program in accordance with ABMS MOC® guidelines. MOC is a voluntary process for time-unlimited certificate holders. Medical specialty certification in the United States is a voluntary process that demonstrates a physician's exceptional expertise in a particular specialty of medical practice.
