American Board of Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine Certification (ABAARM)

The ABAARM program consists of Part I (Written Examination) and Part II (Oral Examination). Typically, many examinees complete both steps within a year, but ABAARM permits a timeframe of up to two years to complete Part II after passing Part I. A4M strongly recommends that all interested candidates sign up as far in advance of the examination date as possible. For ABAARM Part I, all candidates will benefit from permitting themselves with a maximum timeframe to review the study materials.

ABAARM Application Form.

PART I. Written Examination

In ABAARM Part I, a three-hour multiple-choice written examination assesses proficiency in several areas of anti-aging clinical care, with a predominant focus on practical knowledge skills in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, nutritional therapies, and pharmaceuticals, as well as sound textbook knowledge of endocrinology, neurophysiology, and cancer. After completion of all requirements for Part I and receipt of signed Diplomate certificate from the Board a physician may refer to him/herself as a "Diplomate" in anti-aging medicine by the American Board of Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine.

 PART II. Oral Examination

In the Oral Examination portion of Part II, candidates are questioned by two oral examiners during an in-person, private exam interview. Generally, the oral exam takes typically 40 to 60 minutes and consists of one or two standardized mock cases and related clinical questions. After passing Part II and verification by ABAARM of completion of the physician's certification criteria, s/he may refer to her/himself as "Certified" in anti-aging medicine by the American Board of Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine.

NOTE: To maintain ABAARM certification, you must continue active membership in good standing in A4M.
