The seal of the American Board of Dermatology contains the lamp of knowledge along with the year that the Board was founded – 1932.
Display of the seal is restricted to official American Board of Dermatology documents. Diplomates are not permitted to use the ABD seal. Diplomates are instead encouraged to generate a personalized certification mark to display on their letterhead, email signatures, social media profiles and other forms of advertising.
The use of this mark informs the public that a diplomate meets the certification requirements established by the ABD, including education, training, and experience.
To generate a Cert Mark, click the ABD Tools menu option in the blue profile box and select the 'Generate Cert Mark' link.
Cert Marks are available for General Dermatology and Subspecialty certifications:
