The American geriatrics society (\n AGS<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) is a not\u2010for\u2010profit membership organization of nearly 6,000 health professionals devoted to improving the health, independence, and quality of life of all older people. Beginning in 2013,\n ABIM<\/jats:styled-content>\n redesigned its governance structure, including the role of the specialty boards. Specialty boards are charged with responsibilities for oversight in four main areas: (1) the assessments used in initial certification and maintenance of certification (\n MOC<\/jats:styled-content>\n ); (2) medical knowledge self\u2010assessment and practice assessment in the specialty; (3) building relationships with relevant professional societies and other organizational stakeholders; and (4) issues related to training requirements for initial certification eligibility within the specialty. The aim of this paper is to inform the geriatrics community regarding the function of geriatric medicine board (\n GMB<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) of the\n ABIM<\/jats:styled-content>\n , and to invite the geriatrics community to fully engage with and leverage the\n GMB<\/jats:styled-content>\n as a partner to: (1) develop better certification examinations and processes, identifying better knowledge and practice assessments, and in establishing appropriate training and\n MOC<\/jats:styled-content>\n requirements for geriatric medicine; (2) leverage\n ABIM<\/jats:styled-content>\n assets to conduct applied research to guide the field in the areas of training and certification and workforce development in geriatric medicine; (3) make\n MOC<\/jats:styled-content>\n relevant for practicing geriatricians. Active engagement of the geriatrics community with\n ABIM<\/jats:styled-content>\n and the\n GMB<\/jats:styled-content>\n will ensure that certification in geriatric medicine provides the greatest possible value and meaning to physicians, patients, and the public.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jgs.15019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]],"date-time":"2017-09-08T06:52:57Z","timestamp":1504853577000},"page":"2318-2321","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Co\u2010creation by the\n ABIM<\/scp>\n Geriatric Medicine Board and the\n AGS<\/scp>\n \u2013 Helping Move Geriatrics Forward"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Bruce","family":"Leff","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Baltimore Maryland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nancy E.","family":"Lundjeberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The American Geriatrics Society New York New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon A.","family":"Brangman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The State University of New York Upstate Medical University Syracuse New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joyce","family":"Dubow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Levine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boston University School of Medicine Boston Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Morgan\u2010Gouveia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Christiana Care Health System Newark Delaware"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Schlaudecker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Cincinnati Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorna","family":"Lynn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Board of Internal Medicine Philadelphia Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Furman S.","family":"McDonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Board of Internal Medicine Philadelphia Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"and the Geriatric Medicine Board of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM)","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_4_2_1","unstructured":"Geriatric Medicine Board.Geriatric Medicine Board |Specialty Boards | ABIM.org.
