Approved candidates get registration materials in the mail three months before the relevant exam window.

Certification and Recertification Application and Examination Schedule:

Important  Note

Before being examined by the Board, all applications must be finished. After receiving all required forms and accompanying materials, an application is considered finished. You won’t be able to take your exam until the next test administration window since incomplete applications won’t be reviewed and will be held until the following board review session.

A higher application fee is charged for applications submitted after the Late Deadline. Our last application date for the tests in 2023 is the late deadline.

Go to “Board Certifications,” then to the webpage of the relevant specialty, and click on the “Exam Process, Dates, and Fees” to view our initial certification application and exam fee schedules for the May, August, and October specialty examinations. The pricing structure can be found by selecting the ‘Recertification Fee Schedule’ link on the homepage of the relevant specialty.

Exams For Oral Certification

Before being allowed to take the oral/simulation exam, candidates for initial certification must first satisfactorily complete the written test. Not all specialties demand oral examinations. Once a year, oral exams are offered for relevant specialties. Approved candidates will get registration materials in the mail around three months before the exam.
