The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) has partnered with The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) on its Visiting Scholars Program. Junior faculty, residents/fellows, individuals holding advanced degrees in public health, health services research, and other relevant disciplines apply to participate in this exciting and dynamic, one-year, part-time program facilitating research projects related to Board Certification and Maintenance of Certification. In addition to the research project, scholars are exposed to the fields of professional assessment and education, health policy, and quality improvement and are offered the opportunity to develop leadership skills critical to their own professional growth and success.
Additional information about applying to be part of the 2025-2026 cohort and a link to the application can be found on the ABMS Visiting Scholars site.
In the video below, former Visiting Scholar Dr. Sandeep Mannava discusses the program. Dr. Mannava also speaks about the program on the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery Podcast.
