"ABMS and its Member Boards are an important part of physician accountability in the quality movement," said Kevin B. Weiss, MD, ABMS president and CEO.

Recently, ABMS and its Member Boards launched the ABMS 2008-2011 Enhanced Public Trust Initiative, which is designed to examine how ABMS can be responsive to the need for increasing public transparency in physician accountability and to guide the design and implementation of new programs, research and expanded ABMS resource offerings for the public.
