Allopathic physicians in Oklahoma who may lawfully claim to be “Board Certified” or “Certified by” or a “Diplomat” or “Fellow” are physicians who have provided evidence of successful completion of all requirements for certification by a member Board boards of the organization of American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), or by any other organization whose program for the certification requested has been approved by the Board. Physicians requesting to be “Board Certified” or “Certified by“ or a “Diplomat“ or “Fellow“ by a program not approved by the Board must make a formal request to the Board, complete the Non-ABMS Board Certification Application and pay the appropriate fee pursuant to 435:1-1-7(a)(4)(K)(i). The physician will be notified when their matter will be heard by the Board and must be present to address any questions by the Board.
