Dr. 唐纳森 和 Dr. Sieffert are Diplomates of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This means that after college, medical school, general surgery residency, plastic surgery residency 和 fellowship, they passed both written 和 oral examinations administered by the nation’s top plastic surgery professors 和 instructors.
The written exam completed by Dr. 唐纳森 和 Dr. Sieffert is a culmination of their many years of education, consisting of 400 questions over seven hours. The oral exam, taken at least one year later, consists of two days of 2-examiners-on-1-examinee interrogation about actual 和 hypothetical plastic surgery cases 和 scenarios. Fewer than 200 surgeons in the nation satisfactorily complete this process each year.
There is tremendous confusion about who is Board Certified, 和 if so, then by which “board.” All boards are not the same. Some are obtainable simply by paying an annual fee or attending a weekend course!
There are 24 medical boards that are recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (职业), a governing body that has protected st和ards 和 assisted in the ongoing evaluation 和 certification of physicians since 1933. Of these boards, the only one related to plastic surgery is the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Examples of terms 和 specialties that are NOT recognized as boards by the ABMS: cosmetic surgery, cosmetic medicine, laser surgery, liposuction surgery, dermatologic surgery, facial plastic surgery, ophthalmic plastic surgery, aesthetic surgery, aesthetic medicine.
There are physicians in Columbus, Ohio who offer plastic surgical procedures even though they are Board Certified in Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Dermatology or Obstetrics 和 Gynecology — 和 some are not Board Certified at all!
