  • Maintaining Certification in Interventional Cardiology: What Interventionalists Need to Know

    Many interventional cardiologists achieved certification when the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) established board certification in their subspecialty in 2,000. Physicians in this class of board-certified interventional cardiologists should now be completing the requirements to maintain their certification, which will expire Dec. 31, 2010. Among the requirements, physicians must hold an unrestricted medical license and be in good standing.
