Boards Information

Organizations for Podiatric Board Qualification / Certification
  • ​American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS)

        • The exam is broken up into a FF and RRA exam, each with two parts, (a) Multiple Choice and (b) Computer Based Patient Simulation (CBPS)
          • ​If you decide to sit for everything, this will mean taking 4 exams total in one seating, 2-hours each (8-hour time, total).

        • ​(1) Sit for the CBPS exam for FF and/or RRA (approximately 12 cases for each section)
        • (2) Obtain a case load to present to the board which will be reviewed. (CBPS) 
        • NOTE - You do not have to do each of the two sections (CBPS and Case Review) in the same calendar year
        • NOTE - If you do not complete the Board Certification segment within the 7-year timeline, you will need to re-take the Board Qualifying exam, to "qualify" to take the Board Certification exam.
