ABCM is Dedicated to Impartiality


Impartiality Statement

 To obtain and maintain confidence of the medical and nursing communities, the ABCM’s decisions are based on objective evidence and decisions are not influenced by other interests or by other parties.

Because its core function is to assess competence of certification candidates and issue or deny certifications, the ABCM must conduct its activities with complete impartiality and objectivity.

This means we reject subjectivity, influences, or opinions from entering certification decisions. 

This Statement of Impartiality by ABCM is intended to demonstrate our understanding of the importance of, and our commitment to, impartiality regarding provision of certification services.

ABCM is committed to managing conflict of interest and always ensures the objectivity of its certification activities.

These commitments are embraced by the Principals/Board of Directors, communicated to each colleague of the ABCM, and closely monitored by our Impartiality Committee.

ABCM believes firmly in the need for impartiality and makes the following pledge: 
  • ABCM shall act impartially in relation to its applicants, candidates, and certified persons.
  • ABCM policies and procedures for certification of persons shall be fair among all applicants, candidates, and certified persons.
  • ABCM’s certifications shall not be restricted to candidates on the grounds of undue financial or other limiting conditions, such as membership of an association or group.
  • ABCM shall not use procedures to unfairly impede or inhibit access by applicants and candidates.
  • ABCM shall be responsible for the impartiality of its certification activities and shall not allow commercial, financial, or other pressures to compromise impartiality.
  • ABCM shall identify threats to its impartiality on an ongoing basis:  including those threats that arise from its activities, from its related bodies, from its relationships, or from the relationships of its personnel. (However, such relationships do not necessarily present a body with a threat to impartiality.)
  • ABCM shall analyze, document, and eliminate or minimize the potential conflict of interests arising from its certification activities.
  • ABCM shall document and be able to demonstrate how it eliminates, minimizes, or manages such threats.
  • All potential sources of conflict of interest that are identified whether they arise from within ABCM, such as assigning responsibilities to personnel, or from the activities of other persons, bodies, or organizations, are covered.
  • ABCM certification activities shall be structured and managed to safeguard impartiality.
  • This shall include balanced involvement of interested parties such as hospital departments and their supervisors.
  • Impartiality shall be reviewed by each committee formed by ABCM at each committee meeting to ensure compliance with this declaration.
