The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) and the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) this month jointly announced the pilot program, Recognition of Focused Practice (RFP) in Hospital Medicine.
After years of speculation on the details, the RFP in Hospital Medicine is the “first customized maintenance of certification pathway,” according to an October 10 ABFM press release. The RFP criteria will include ABFM- and ABIM-developed tools targeted at hospitalist practice-based learning.
The RFP in Hospital Medicine pilot program is expected to start in the fall of 2010 and continue for three years, according to the press release.
