What the Clinical Informatics subspecialty board certification Is Good For

This is the heavyweight credential in the field and the only one on this page that is a medical board certification. Eligibility rules are strict and have changed over time, so read the current requirements rather than a summary.

When a Different Option Fits Better

Look at another option if you are not a licensed physician. This one is only for doctors, so nurses, data scientists and administrators need a different option.
