The American Board of Urology, based in Charlottesville, VA, is dedicated to establishing and maintaining certification standards for urologists. Their mission is to ensure the delivery of high-quality, safe, and ethical urologic care by working with certified urologists to achieve lifelong learning. Through rigorous testing and evaluation, the ABU evaluates a urologist's clinical skills, education, surgical cases, peer review, and other criteria to certify their expertise in the field. Board certification demonstrates that a physician meets the highest standards in their medical specialty and is recognized and respected by patients and peers.
The ABU strives to advance the clinical practice of urology by promoting evidence-based guidelines and standards, ensuring excellence in all areas of care and practice improvement. They believe that board-certified urologists stay current with evolving knowledge and meet acceptable standards in their practice. With a focus on quality patient care, the ABU emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional self-improvement through lifelong learning. They also offer a retired status for urologists who have transitioned out of their professional careers but have maintained good standing throughout their practice and certification.
