ABOS Celebrates 90 Years

The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) was established in 1934 at the Palmer House in Chicago, the same place where ABOS Oral Examinations take place today. As the longest-standing national certifying board for orthopaedic surgeons, the ABOS has evolved over the last 90 years to provide meaningful board certification true to its mission of protecting the public. For the next 90 years, the ABOS will continue to innovate and make sure that the Board Certification and Maintenance of Certification processes are valuable to orthopaedic surgeons.
