The American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians was formed 40 years ago with the goal of providing certifications to physicians engaged in family practice. The types of certifications offered to practicing physicians include the certification of added qualifications, examinations in osteopathic geriatrics in family medicine and certifications in sports, undersea, hyperbaric, sleep and addiction medicine. Hospice and palliative care certifications are also offered.
