For candidates concerned about when they will be able to take the oral exam, please note that you can switch tracks and submit your Case History Portfolio as the second stage of the three-part ABE board certification process. There will be no penalty or additional fees to make this switch. If you would like to switch tracks, please email your track change request to our office at staff@amboardendo.org.
We appreciate your patience with the ever-changing events brought on by the pandemic, and want to acknowledge your dedication and hard work as you move forward with the board certification process.
