Certification

AMIA began it’s work toward certifications in clinical and health informatics more than 12 years ago. Certification is the credential that recognizes and verifies a superior level of education, experience and expert knowledge. This expertise is tested by exam and maintained through continuing education and recertification.

The Board Certification in the Subspecialty of Clinical Informatics (CIS Diplomate status) is offered by the American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) and the American Board of Pathology (ABP). Physicians who are board certified in one of the 24 American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) disciplines are eligible to apply and sit for the exam via a practice pathway or an ACGME-accredited fellowship training in Clinical Informatics.

AMIA actively supports this informatics certification and separately offers educational review courses (CIBRC) to assist professionals preparing for the exam.
