Physicians Must Be Recognized To Advertise 10/31/2006 |
| |
In order to avoid patient confusion in selecting a qualified cosmetic surgeon, it is illegal in the State of California for a physician to advertise as being board certified unless that board is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) or is deemed to be equivalent to an ABMS board by the Medical Board of California. However, a board that does not have this status can be recognized in California, if they demonstrate that their training program is equivalent in scope, content, and duration to an ABMS board. The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS), is currently not recognized as equivalent to an ABMS board.
