For the second year, the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) will accept applications for the International Pathway for Certification for qualifying faculty candidates.
The process starts earlier this year. Please note this year’s deadlines:
Submit Declaration of Intent: April 7-11
Submit Application & References: April 15 - May 4
Application Approvals: End of July
The ABD will update this announcement on April 7 to provide a link to the Declaration of Intent form. By declaring their intent, potential candidates attest to specific criteria, which may be found here, along with other pathway details.
In 2024, the program’s inaugural year, 11 faculty members were accepted into the pathway and became eligible to sit for the February 2025 CORE Exams. The earlier application dates in 2025 will allow accepted candidates to begin taking the CORE Exams as early as October 2025.
If you have questions, please contact the ABD at Communications@abderm.org.
Internationally trained dermatology faculty members may declare their intent to apply for ABD certification April 7-11.
